I have a great grandmother named
Sophie Wilhelmine Braul who was 'born at sea' in about 1861. The 1911
England census indicates her birth was registered in Diepholz
Province, Germany. Her marriage certificate (
England 1890) indicates her father was an 'unknown sailor - lost at sea'.
If there are any persons out there who may have access to birth records in Diepholz, Germany or who could possibly point in the right direction I would be most grateful.
Regards
