Thanks Mary I think this is the best explanation all the other children were Baptised at St Marks but no sign of him This may be why Anne was sent to England.In 1871she was in Lancashire a domestic servant ,in 1881 she has moved to West Derby a Servant with a naturalised German family the Von Heyder's. can you help me find who would be the Captain of the Parish 1867/68 & would there be any documentation of staff that worked at the house at this time? I would love to get to the bottom of this after trying for years with no results , Val
