During the early part of the 20th Century, Frank and Caroline KUNTZE managed the South Western Hotel in Canute Road, Southampton. I have them recorded there in 1901 and 1902 - but don't know exactly when they arrived there and when they left. Maybe someone can provide some additional bits of information. The 1901 Census records the family at the South Western Hotel, Terminus Terrace and Canute Road: KUNTZE, Frank; Head; 52; born Germany N B Subj; Hotel Manager; Employer, Working at Home KUNTZE, Caroline; Wife; 45; born Birmingham; Manageress; Employer, Working at Home KUNTZE, Pauline; Daughter; 19; born Birmingham; Storekeeper; Working at Home KUNTZE, Hermann; Son; 17; born Birmingham; Clerk; Working at Home Kelly's 1902 directory also records Frank KUNTZE as manager at the South Western Hotel. Pauline Louise KUNTZE married Percy Vincent BOWYER on 22 February 1906, and we have a photograph of a most magnificent wedding cake, which was apparently made in the kitchens of the South Western Hotel - but was Pauline's father still manager or did he just still have contacts there? Frank had died by 1911, when Kelly's records Mrs KUNTZE living at Ashlett, Church Lane, Highfield. Frank and Caroline married in Aston, Birmingham - and their children were both born there - but I don't know when they first came to Southampton. Does the surname KUNTZE occur in the 1891 Census index for Southampton (or indeed for anywhere else)? Intriguingly, the 1895 Kelly's records a Carl KUNTZE at the Turk's Head Public House, 1 West Street, Southampton. Is Carl a misprint/mistranscription of Caroline - or is this another Kuntze entirely? It's not a particularly common name, although the 1881 Census index does include other Kuntze families in the UK (but frustratingly I can't find Frank and the 7+ months' pregnant Caroline - Pauline was born on 22 May 1881). It's also not unknown for Kellys to get things wrong: the 1911 edition records Percy Ernest BOWYER, auctioneer. The future Mayor of Southampton (and husband of Pauline Louise KUNTZE mentioned above) was actually Percy Vincent BOWYER. Does anyone know any other way of checking the proprietor of the Turk's Head (directories for other years adjacent to 1895, other records)? Many thanks in anticipation of any help, or pointers for me to follow up. Karen
