Rosalia Müller always declared herself to have been born in Waldeck and I had hoped that there might be some record of her birth or baptism there.

Just a quick response to all the kind people who are responding to my query.  It was slow to start off with and I am new to this list, so I thought maybe it wasn't going to go anywhere, but now I am overwhelmed with helpful suggestions  - I wil reply to you all once I have had time to consider each email.  Thank you all very much. I thought I might clarify one thing.  Rosalia Muller gave her birthplace as Waldeck, but the understanding in her family is that she was actually born in Schloss Waldeck (now I believe a hotel) in about 1834.  We only know that it was about 1834 from her age in the census returns.  I have found mentions of a General Muller in the Napoleonic Wars and a family story was that her father was a General then, but it might have been her grandfather.  I know that the owners of the schloss no longer lived there at that time and indeed it haas been suggested that it might have been used as a prison?  Her mother was said to be a daughter of that family, but it might turn out that her father was just in charge of the prison.  I am trying to discover more information about her father. I spend much time helping people in areas where I have extra knowledge, but suddenly I am on the other end of the search - if nothing else it is helping me to understand how it is for those in situations which to me are everyday.  I will have extra patience in future, but if anyone needs help in Scotland please ask.
