Hi, I just used the freebmd and found a group of German people being married in London. They may have ended up elsewhere in the world but it does prove that batches of German people married in London. The names include; Baldauf, Balzer, Bastian, Beef, Berg, Bertram, Bruder, Christian, Denhardt, Erb, Fink, Fischer, Hoffmann, Kraus, Rhode, Riemanns, Sippel, Stucksadt and Vohmann. They married at Whitechapel in the quarter ended December 1859. I have also seen it that wedding liscences in Prussia at that time where expensive and the poor couldn't afford them (it was a population control device !!!). Regards Gillian >
