HOCHLEITNER ROOKE family (General)

Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my enquiry. I checked out the Gilbert on the passenger list some time ago but it says he was born in the USA so I do not think this is the one I am looking for. I think I will have to purchase his birth certificate as this will also tell me if Elizabeth was his mother. The Elizabeth who married Hochleitner was the daughter of the family and on Ancestry Martin (who may be her brother-in-law) is named on the probate. I have not been able to trace what became of her husband, she is on the electoral rolls for many years in London.

I think the Electoral and Probate Elizabeth is Martin's wife rather than Henry's

Name: Martin Hochleitner
Spouse :Elizabeth Simpson
Year of Registration: 1912
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Cirencester
County: Gloucestershire, Wiltshire
Volume: 6a
Page: 879

HOCHLEITNER Martin
SIMPSON Elizabeth
Cirencester Cirencester Register Office
1912 10 131

again I think this is Martins wife

THE LONDON GAZETTE, 24 OCTOBER, 1941

Hochleitner, Elizabeth;- Germany; Of no occupation;
23, Camden Square, Carriden Road,London, N.W.I. 22 September, 1941.

In the electoral register 1945/46 there are 2 Elizabeth H's one in Camden one in Kensington -- the Kensington one may be Henry's wife.

Given the period of history its possible they changed the Austrian surname and stayed in the UK - in which case an added degree of difficulty has been added to the quest :-)
