Yes she was destitute. Why is the question. They were quite well off before his death in 1929. Don't know where the money went. I thought the nationalized Grandfather would give me some clues . |

You can work out why gran ended up in a workhouse? Is that the place of death? Quite often workhouses acted as cottage hospitals - it may be she went there because she was ill. If you mean earlier, then the answer is she was destitute. |

If it were his middle name, likely it is the surname of one of the rellies. |

It was his grandson's middle name..The anti -German feeling would fit in .My grandmother didn't marry Charles son George,but they had 5 children together. It looks like my grandmothers mother disowned her and the children. George died suddenly in 1929 and my grandmother ended up in the workhouse. What I can't work out is why. |

I dont really see what the grandsons surname has to do with it or do you mean it was a first name? |

Yes thanks. It was the british subject really.The nationalization that i didn't understand. Would he have been well known in the community .perhaps a counciller of some kind. With his randson being named Aldername it got me thinking. How would I find out about such a subject? |

No I don't think so. His wife died 1899 and it was done then. |

He would have chosen to be naturalised. May be it helped with his trade.May be mum was English? |

Hi Donna, Germany-British subject is usually employed where the person was born abroad to british parents, but could have become nationalized. |
