Hello I continue to search for the background of John HERMAN of Milnthorpe - born 1821 in Germany. His parents appear on the Appleby 1841 census - Isabella & Thomas HERMAN both born in 1801 and as the place of birth is blank, I have assumed they also were born in Germany.… After that, I cannot find anything on them. On the 1841 census they also record Isabella born in 1833, Robert 1828 and William 1831. all being born in Westmorland. The HERMAN spelling sometimes appears as HERRMANN or HEMAUER I would love to be able to move on this family. Maybe someone will be able to help me Best Wishes, Sheila
