I have been looking to trace my great grandfather Henry Edward Smith WW1 records- I know they may not have survived and I have no idea where he served or if he served, but I assume he would have done. Born 1878 Smethwick Married 1904 3 children Address: 60 Pershore Street Birmingham...

Thanks for that. I will try to look into it a little more, although we have reached a bit of a dead end with this side of the family so we are thinking to take a break and come back to them later. I have written to the who do you think you are magazine as a last ditch attempt to get information...

Hello Hope you are well. Just a quick update on the Schulze/Smith family. We visited the Archives and did find references to the business and family, but nothing significant. The business was in Henry Smith's name in 1919 and 1920, then with Fred Schulze in 1921- around the time which we...

Thanks for that. I did look at the London Gazette but found no further reference to the Schulze's than the notices you found already. The business was partly sold off and my great grandfather took ownership of the Birmingham branch in 1918, other than that there is currently no news, although...

Well we've had a bit of a break but we are still on the trail of the Schulze's and Henry Edward Smith. We have had some new information come to light which may be a reason for the disappearance of Henry Edward Smith. Including Fred Schulze potentially committing fraud and obtaining the family...

Thanks for that so far there is no record of a Carl in the family, but we are still finding details about them so I'll let you know if he turns up.

Brilliant, that helps alot. Are there any directories between 1918-30, I am looking to see when the business was in Henry E Smith's name before transfering back to a Schulze. We know he took over the business in 1918, but are unsure if the name changed or how long he owned the business for.

This is all really great information, thank you so much. It also raises a few more questions!!! Somethin very interesting that surprised us was the mention of the Birmingham business being transfered to Henry Edward Smith- my great grandfather! It raises an eyebrow as we are sure something...

Can anyone look up Bruno Schulze, sausage skin maker at 60 Pershore Street Birmingham? It maybe under another name, but should still be Schulze (if it was still around). Thanks

Can anyone look up Bruno Schulze, sausage skin maker at 60 Pershore Street Birmingham? Thanks

Thanks for that, actually we think they may have had a business on the river Rhine making strings for violins etc- this is only an idea that has filtered through other family members we have recently made contact with, but that would actually make sense with this. I will chase up some...

I am looking for relatives or those who remember a Marie Shaw (nee Schulze) who married Walter Lawrence Shaw in 1914 Nuneaton. I believe they had two children, Lawrence and Freda Joyce (known as Joyce). Freda married a Robert Ward. The family lived in Durham Road, Sparkhill until mid-late...

Re: Birmingham Smiths Did Rose marry an Arthur Schulze?

So far there has been no luck in finding any records for the sasuage skin business and I am wondering if they ever were forced to close. We know in the forties the business in Devon closed for health reasons, but the business on Pershore street we know nothing of or the others that were...

Thank you so much for this, can I just clarify, is this saying in 1918 they were forced to stop trading? from my understanding the business ran for some years after this. Bruno Schulze travelled a lot but his business was left to his sons Arthur and Fred. Arthur was in charge of Holsworthy...

I have contacted company house and they are looking in the archives and I should hear from them soon. They didn't mention anything about the dates of the business, although I gave them a rough idea when they began, but my worry is that it was simply a family run business, not a limited company...

Is it possible to get business records dating back to the early 1900s, if so where would I look? I am looking at what I believe was a factory/home business run by the Schulze family at 60 Pershore Street (and also they had another business in Devon which I am hoping to get further details on)...

I believe we have finally identified some of the people in the photograph. We believe this is the wedding of Frederick Schulze to Marie ? (an American). We can identify family members, we alreday know Arthur Schulze (back far left) and Henry Edward Smith (behind groom), the others we can...

After having the photo under a microscope there is one additional piece of information. On the front of the photo in the bottom right corner there is a faint pencil mark which looks like a name. I can clearly see it reads 'Speight' and it possibly is a name (photographer?) it looks like...
