am looking for my great-grandfather, John Harry Christian Gustav Erber. Family says he was born in Austria, but he is a hard man to track. I estimate his birth between the years of 1870-1880.
By 1900 he was in Birkenhead, Cheshire County, England marrying Henrietta Bertha Roberts. In 1900 his first child was born, Johanna Bertha Erber. In 1902, his son William Edward Erber was born. During WWI, he was an Interpreter for England, for he spoke 8 different languages and wrote 7. He travelled with his family and lived in Holland and South Africa and possibility Switzerland. After WWI, he and his daughter were Furrier/Tailors at the Duke of Richmond's Racetrack located at Goodwood Estate in Chichester, West Sussex, England.
He sent his daughter to live in Canada in 1925 and from then on, no one has a clue what happened to the rest of her family (parents and siblings).
