The Hochleitners were brothers, one named Henry who married Elizabeth Tyler,on August 8th 1908. John H Tyler and Laura Tylor were witnesses at their wedding. Henry appeared to work in the catering/hotel industry as did his father who is likely to be Frank or Franz Hochleitner.
I lost trace of Henry and Elizabeth too and wondered if World War 1 might have led them either to move to another country or to change their name. At this time having a German sounding name could have made them subject to abuse as I know that this was the case with other people of German and Austrian origin elsewhere.
Martin Hochleitner married Elizabeth Simpson (born in Stratton, Gloucestershire) and I am not sure whether it was she or Elizabeth nee Tyler who is the one who was living in Hampstead (and indeed died there in 1964) as both couples went to live in London, I had always presumed it was Elizabeth nee Simpson but have not been able to verify it. However, I have found that Elizabeth (nee Simpson) and Martin (married last quarter of 1912 in Cirencester) are likely to have had a child called, Frederick Martin Hochleitner born about 1912 or 1913 born in Cirencester but I can find nothing more about him either.

I hope this is of use to you, please let me know if you find anything more about these and the Tylers as I am interested to compare notes.

If you need anything about the Rook family I have tons of information so let me know if you wish to pursue any research about Maria as I might save you a lot of work.You may also be interested to know that a Rook relative of Maria married a Swiss man from Berne.
