My grandfather was born John Henry Wilson Ziegler in Sheffield UK on 5th December 1891 but
the family changed their name to Hogg some time in WW1.
On the 1881 census the only Ziegler in the whole of Yorkshire on the day of the census
was on board a vessel called the "Alster" at Kingston-upon-Hull - he was listed
as
Wilt Ziegler 17yrs born in Rothelmil -occupation Artist.
I have no idea if he had just arrived or was about to leave the UK.
On my grandfather's marriage certificate in 1946, his father is listed as Herbert Hogg
Dec'd. It is possible his name was Wilbert Ziegler & it changed to Herbert Hogg -
if anyone can make any link with this young artist, I'd be grateful, as he may be my
Great Grandfather!
