My Grandparents Louis Voinquel c1877 & Lucy Rothmund c1881 came to England in about 1900, from France & Austria.

I have all the information about them about them in England, but I would like to know how they got to England.

I have tried looking for them under emigration, but that seems to be to & from Australia,Canada,& America,nothing from Europe.

Can anyone help me please.

Thanks Elsa

The UK incoming passenger list doesn't cover passengers from Europe, just from overseas.

Hello Joan

I did know that according to the 1911 census it says that my grandmother
was born in Birmingham, & her fathers name was Constantine.

I can't find her birth records anywhere. (if she was born in Birmingham why is that ? )
According to her marriage certificate it gave her born in c1881

I was told by my mother that she & her sister ran away from home,& went into service.
