Von Mr Ken McEwan erhielt ich weitere Informationen über Peter Joseph Hubert WULLENWEBER:

Peter Joseph Hubert Wüllenweber, was born 27^th November 1861 in Gereonsweiler, Germany and died 5^th November 1935 in London. He was interred in Streatham Park Cemetery, London on 9^th November 1935. Peter had married Mary Mathilda Bray on 10^th November 1892 at the Parish Church of St. Leonards, Shoreditch, London. There address was registered as 34 Earl Street in London.

We discovered a number of details about the Wüllenweber family. As shown in the 1911 census Peter and Mary had 7 children:

· Bertha May Hubertine (“Nanny” – grandmother to Jaqueline McEwan ) – born 19^th May 1885 at 3 Northumberland Street, London and died 13^th February 1973 in London, England. “Nanny” had been married once before to Joannes Claudius Marie Joseph Balvay on 14^th February 1914 at St. George’s Catholic Cathedral in Southwark, London. According to the marriage certificate Balvay was an advertising manager in the motor trade he was 26 years of age. They were subsequently divorced according to the description shown on the marriage certificate between Nanny and her second husband Rudi Bill. We think Balvay was a French citizen but despite an exhaustive search through various records in England and France we haven’t been able to find out anything about him or what happened to him.

· Florence Kunigunda (born 9 June 1893 at 10 Longacre WC, London and died 4^th October 1963 in London, England). Florence was also employed at the Carlton Hotel, Pall Mall, London as a linen maid from 1^st April 1914 until 20^th October 1914.

· Alice Josephine (born 17^th March 1897 at 3 Northumberland Street, London and died 16^th July 1981)

· Lilian (“Cissie”) Agnes – (born 12^th August 1899 at 3 Northumberland Street, London and died 11^th February 1980)

· Frederick Joseph (born 5^th October 1901 at 3 Northumberland Street, London and died 1^st May 1969)

· Wihelm (William) George 4^th February 1904 at 11 Wardour Street, London, England died October 1971)

· Mary Magdalena Elsie (born 27^th July 1909 at 87 Lambeth Palace Road, London died 13^th May 1983)

· Irene Cecelia (born 22^nd November 1913 at 104 Kennington Road, London died 7^th August 2003

Details of each of these families have been explored such as marriages, children, grandchildren etc. and are included in the family tree.

Peter was employed as a hotel porter at the Carlton Hotel, Pall Mall, London from 21^st October 1902 until 12^th September 1914 when was discharged because of his German nationality. The First World War with Germany began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. Mary Matilda lost her British citizenship when she married Peter and it wasn’t until 10^th June 1940 that her British nationality was restored, five years after Peter’s death.
