It was Luise Homan who married Charles George Ferdinand Dietrich ( 1819-1897) on 24 May 1844 at Potsdam, Germany. Luise was the daughter of Baron & Baroness Homann (Homan ?). Luise married Charles Dietrich a Civil Engineer against her Parents wishes because they believed she was marrying below her station. She married for love & they had 13 children. 4 survived to adult. I do not know if she was disowned over this but she and her husband moved to Paris then London but travelled back to Hanover on at least one occasion about 1886. Anna Louise Dietrich was, so my Grandmother told me, a God Daughter of the Russian Prince & Princess Dolgoruky. They remained friends for many years.
