KYSOW FAMILY HISTORY
Please note that we have re-organised our website and
have placed details of our KYSOW family (or the KYSON family, where
appropriate) in our GOLDSMITH family history, with which it connects. Please follow the link here
to find details of Hermann Julius KYSOW 1883 – 1969, from where further
hyperlinks should direct you to other members of the family. Alternatively, please follow this link here and select KYSOW from
the table of names on that page.
We will not be maintaining this page after August
2007, so you may find it useful to bookmark the link above.
Generation

Carl
We know only from the marriage certificate
of his son, Hermann Julius, that in
1882, he worked as a Commission Agent.
If you are able to confirm whether or not he emigrated from Prussia with Hermann Julius, we would be grateful to
know: if you can help, please click

Generation
2
Hermann Julius KYSOW (c.1855 -?)
From the Latter Day Saints’ web site, it
appears that he was born in 1855 at Kalbe Andersaale, Sachsen, Prussia.
At the time of the 1881 Census, he lived
alone in lodgings at 34 Henry
Street, London, and
worked as a cabinet-maker. His
birthplace is given as Calbuander
Saalu, Prussia. We believe this to be the city of Calbe, situated on the river Saale in Saxonia-Anhalt, Germany.
He married at St Johns Church,
Fitzroy Square, London, on 13 August 1882; Matilda
SCHMELTZER. He lived at 65 Charlotte Street, London and worked as a cabinet-maker.
In 1889, he lived at 39, Nasmyth Street, Hammersmith, Middlesex,
and worked as a cabinet maker.
At the time of the 1891 Census, he lived at
31, Mardale Street,
Hammersmith and he worked as a cabinet-maker and upholsterer. His wife, Matilda, was a laundress.
At the time of the 1901 Census, he lived at
2a Campden Street, London and still worked as a
cabinet-maker. He lived there with
Matilda, Hermann (aged 17, who also worked
as a cabinet-maker), Charley (aged 15, a french polisher) and William (aged
12).
He is recorded as having died by the time
of William’s marriage in April 1921.
Generation 3
Hermann
Julius (1883 – 1969) also known as Herbert John
Hermann Julius was born at 30 Grafton Street, London, on 31 July 1883, the son of Hermann and Matilda. We do not know when his forenames changed,
but we understand that his original names perhaps sounded too
Germanic and was changed during one or other of the two World Wars.
On the night that the Census was taken in
1891, he was a border at 1, Globe Cottages, Wood Street, Chelmsford,
Essex with William BRYAN, a potter, and his wife, Mary Jane BRYAN.
He married Elizabeth Mary FLUDER on 1
September 1914 at Marylebone Register Office.
A copy of the entry in the marriage register shows that he was a master
cabinet-maker, and that she was a tailor.
They lived at 5, Church
Street, Marylebone.
Steve knows that by 1916, they lived at Shrotton Street, London,
NW1. This building stands on the corner
of Lisson Grove, London,
above a fish restaurant.
Steve recalls being told that he married
secondly, Gertrude, and thirdly, Lillian, but has no knowledge when these
events occurred. He recalls, as a child,
being taken to his workshop, in Marylebone
Lane, in the latter half of the 1960s. He also recalls being taken to birthday
parties at his home at 25, Waldegrave
Road, Ealing, W5. In his latter years, he was blind. He died, at home, on 8 July 1969. S. G. Abelson, M.B.
certified death due to bronchopneumonia following a carcinoma, He was cremated at West
Ruislip.
Charley
Albert KYSOW (c.1886 -?)
On the night that the Census was taken in
1891, he was a border at 1, Globe Cottages, Wood Street, Chelmsford,
Essex with William BRYAN, a potter, and his wife, Mary Jane BRYAN. He had been born at Marylebone.
We have found a message in an Internet
discussion group seeking details of births in the Kysow family from September
1882 onwards from someone in Queensland, Australia. We are seeking to confirm if the person
making the inquiry descends from Charley or from William: if you are able to
confirm this, or give any other information, please mail us.
