David's right - My g-g-g-grandfather was on the census as a naturalised British subject 7 years before the event! |

Paul, I've tried looking for my grandfather's Naturalisation details and not had any luck with the Nat Archives site, I just don't find it easy to use. I'm probably doing something really stupid, but cannot fathom it - could you point me in the right direction please......ie, would you be kind enough to give me idiot's instructions!! |

His naturalisation papers are held at the National Archives and will give you a lot of additional information. My German Great Great Grandfather had to supply a lot of information about his family which proved invaluable to me. : |

There's a user submitted entry on IGI so treat with extreme caution. |

There's no Jacob Hiller on Ancestry but there is a Jacob Frederick Heller. Is this your GG grandfather? |
