Ignore this post. I need to do more digging as she gives her father as Charles Stevens who is according to the certificate deceased at the time of wedding in 1947. I need to chase Charles I think.



Does anyone know if there is a site that shows migration to Britain?

I have a relation who I believe is German as her name is Irmgard Rossman. I can take a guess at the year Irmgard was born based on her age at the time of her marriage in Hertfordshire in 1947 but was wondering if there was any way of working out when the family travelled to Britain?

To answer the question about travel - the simple answer is no, there are no records of travel from Europe.

I have Irmgard’s marriage in Hertfordshire in 1947 and that is the only record I can find for her.

The one who divorced in San Diego was too young to be your Irmgard:

The marriage cert would at least give you her father's name, which might possibly help. It would also verify her age - unless she lied!

Perhaps Rossman wasn't her maiden name.


With her husband in 1965 - not that that helps with your question re her origins:

Irmgard M Waller

Didn't dig deep anough, obviously :-0 :-0

You say this woman is a relative - how did you come to be researching her?

No children registered in England/Wales

Name: Irmgard M Waller
Electoral Date: 1955
Ward or Division/Constituency: Putney and Streatham
County or Borough: Wandsworth, England
Also at the address is her husband

AG

The poster has the marriage cert - if I read the post correctly - which is why she says the father's name was Charles Stevens

1939 for husband's family - obviously, if he is deceased, his death hasn't been picked up

Alfred H Waller 27 Feb 1890 Male Paper & Book Warehouseman Married 88 1
Daisy M Waller 23 Dec 1893 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 88 2

I do have the marriage certificate and Irmgard says that she is 18 years old. Thank you for finding her in 1955 and her husbands family in 1939.

Thank you. They could prove useful. I assumed German because of Irmgard’s name but it’s possible her mum was German and her dad was a different nationality.

Thank you I’ll take a look at the birth.

Probably not her, it would only make her 14/15 at time of marriage in 1947

Did they have any children?

I’m not sure if they had children. There was a large family falling out when my grandad was small.
