    hi

    does anyone have a copy of Lawende's signature from one of the censuses or any other documents at all?

    grateful for any assistance

        Interesting that he spelt it LAVENDER

        There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

          Anglicised

          it's how the name was Anglicised GUT. He became naturalised didn't he at some point.

            The daily mail called him Mr lavender during their reporting of the shawl fiasco.

              I believe so, just find it a little strange that he signed it that way.

                well..

                i guess like many immigrants he wanted to fit in and be like the indiginous population, so making his name less 'foreign sounding' was probably something he wanted to do.

                  This was Lawende's signature on his Inquest statement.

                  Regards, Jon S.

                    His signature in post #32 by Paddy and the one above by Jon look different. What's going on?

                      They do rather. For one thing, the later signature is tidier. I thought time and ageing usually brought untidiness.
