Dear Barbara, thought you might like to know that on their migration to the States from Mecklenberg, the Zanzig family dropped a couple off in London: 1884 Directory ZANZIG, Christoph, tailor, 33 Museum Street, Oxford Street, London WC 1 ZANZIG, J. Didrich, tailor, 33 Mortimer Street, London W1 These were (and are) seriously posh addresses, so they must have done well. Christoph had moved by 1890 to 10, Grand Parade, Brighton (fashionable South Coast resort), whereas J.D. stayed in London and in 1914 was at 72, Wells Street (just round the corner from Mortimer Street), which he shared with a couple of embroiderers and a music publisher (still a good address though not quite so upmarket). At yet another fashionable watering-place, Bath, Somerset, in 1902 we find: ZANZIG, J.F.H., tailor and lodging-house keeper, 25 New King Street, Bath. Having said how well they must have done, it's only fair to point out two Zanzig insolvency records 1882 and 1887, on The Original Record.com site (costs about $ 25 to get more details). It's probably sheer coincidence that there is an Old Zanzig in St. Jidgey, St. Issey, Wadebridge, Cornwall. I'd wager this was a Cornish (S.E. Celtic) word. Zanzig is a haven for artists who exhibit at Old Zanzig Mill. Regards, David
