My maternal grandmother was I believe a "German Winter" - let me explain - she was I think decended from one of two brothers who came to England from Northern Germany (Bremen possibally) as shipwrights during the late Napoleonic War period. They worked in various navel shipyards along the south coast of England for a number of years their name altering across time from its original of either Vinterhalter or Winterhalter I only have this information from my Grandmother (who died in 1991) - as a childhood memory of viewing 'the tree' in an old Bible which was passed to her older brother (as the eldest in the family). Sadly he was a career officer in the Indian army and died in Burma in 1944 and this family treasure never returned to the UK - does this "ring any bells for anyone" |
