Pastor Ernst Brecht

One interesting and enjoyable diversion was the discovery of a marriage between Ernst Wilhelm Brecht and Charlotte Gruner (address given as Buckingham Palace) in London in 1850.

Ernst Brecht became the first Pastor at the Ango-German Church in Hull and later the Pastor in Engelbostel near his home town of Hannover.

Charlotte Gruner from Coburg became one of the governesses to Queen Victoria's children.

The Royal Archives at Windsor sent letters on my behalf to descendants in Germany and USA, and there was a fascinating exchange of information.
