My Gt Grandfather Frederick Hansing as a German born Sugar Baker living in East London. I understand that when Sugar Refining started in this country we did not have the relevant skills so the Sugar companies (or the government I'm not sure) shipped in Germans with the skill required. My Gt Grandfather was here in 1863 when he married in East London but I cannot find him on 1861 census. Does anyone out there know anything about this invasion of German Sugar Bakers, when it happened, where in Germany they came from and if there are any employment records or immigration records for these men still existing? Any leads would be much appreciated |
