I'm looking for my great grand uncle He was born about July 1873 in St Giles, London and was living in Whitfield Street, St Pancras, London during the census' of 1881 and 1891. I think he may have a marriage in 1903 but don't know who to and can't find him at all in census' of 1901 and 1911. It may be that he has altered his name, as his forename and those of his siblings are made more english. |

His marriage I think is the 1903 as it uses his given name Andreas which he changes to Andrew. |

I have found an Andrew Ritterhoff serving in the Imperial Yeomanry in the Boer War which may be him...? |

I think that 1903 birth was his nephew: |

That is definitely him as the address is Whitfield Street off Tottenham Court Road! That's my second relative in the Boer Wars :-) |

Wonder if he might have anglicised his surname, too? |

Any comment on the info I posted? |

I wonder if when he married in 1903 that he changed his name then perhaps? |

The 1920 marriage Reggie posted implies that Andreas/Andrew had almost certainly married Marie Theresa De Smet. |

I'm struggling to find what happened to Andreas/Andrew, guess he died as his wife remarried, but can't find any trace of him after 1901. Any thoughts? Thanks. |
