TS


Reggie did post that re-marriage near the beginning of the thread :-)


I've been trying to see if Prince and Eliza had any children between 1911 and 1930 :-)


The thought being that Emma may have left him, but he couldn't marry until after she died.


Another theory could be that Emma was in hospital at the time of the 1911 Census ............ in whcih case one has to search under her initials.

That seems as though it would be E E W, E A W or ?????

according to a Public Tree on ancestry, Albert Lohfink's forename should be Adelbert, and he seemingly died in 1896.

Mother Emily died in late 1911 .......... she is living alone on the 1911 Census, on Private Means
