Hi all,

I am not sure if this should go as a separate thread or with the Parkinson history, she was listed as a domestic on the 1881, 1891 and 1901 Census with Mary Jane Parkinson.
I am trying to find when Christina Sharp 19 on 1881 Census, Christina Dorothea Schaub 29 on 1891 Census and Christina Salanb 39 1901 Census, (I also have her named as Christine Schaab on a will dated 1892) arrived in U.K. from Germany. I would appreciate any information of her in the England. Thanks

Mel

Ive had a look through the passenger lists using various combos of her name and no luck as yet

Did she have any siblings, or anything on her parents?

i have paternal German ancestors and was told at Kew that no passenger lists are available for them as they would have come over as foot passengers on cross channel boats.They arrived here sometimes pre 1889 when a son was born in Bradford.
If they took nationalization then you would find that at Kew, The info may be online on the National Archives site

Shirley,

Thanks for that, do I just go online to the Archives for naturalization information? I am in Australia, so not really sure what to do!!

You didn't give us any UK location info - but, having looked at 1901, I see she was in Yorkshire...

Could this possibly be a marriage for her?

Christian & Christiane married in Dec 1874, probably not the parents of Christina who was born c1862

Offering this as a possibility only..................

Name: Christine Craven
Death Registration Month/Year: 1941
Age at death (estimated): 79
Registration district: Bradford
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 9b
Page: 230


It's the only one of approx age, although the forename is not quite the same - it could have been anglicised.

Flick,

On the will I have, she is known as Christine, so the death is a distinct possibility.

Thanks everyone for your help
