Looking for information about my maternal grandfather, Carl August Heinrich Carstens.
Birthplace somewhere in Germany. Birthdate c1887. Worked in London pre WW1. Married Ann
PUNTER in Brighton, England 1911.Had three children in the UK, Annie Isabella May, b.1911;
Dorothy Ellen Florence, b.1913 and Carlton Albert Henry, b.1914, died 1915.
Family returned to Germany at outbreak of WW1, where my mother, Elsa Dorothy was born in
1916 or 1917. Family split up and Annie brought Elsa back to London. Annie died in 1929.
Carl believed to have worked on ships between USA and Europe/Africa and may have emigrated
to USA. Any information on Carl or the other children would be great!
