Any one related to the Mayersbach via Edith Laura Mayersbach 21st April 1867?????

The Mayerbach's are well documented and go back to Alexander Von Mayersbach from Germany. It seems he was a fake Dr who made loads of money then vanished. Taking with him his cash :-( he sired a huge family and often there were at least 5 to 6 children by generation. Edith was one of 6!!!!

To add to this name.

Alexander Von Mayersbach arrived in the UK in 1770 and bacame a UK citizen in 1786. He then did not know what to do for work so set up as a fake Dr, hell why not he thought. His skill was reading urine to tell you what was wrong with you. He became rich but really did take the P***!! he then died and his decendants became poor.

I am related to him way back. I am trying to find relatives from Edith laura Mayersbach (jumping ahead in time). Of course I know my later fathers brother but thats all. Edith 1887 had at least 5 siblings, Authur, Jane, Edward, Emma, Frederick.
