• Birth Notes
  • Aged 40 in 1871, Born Prussia (not Russia), Hamburg
    Aged 74 in 1901, Born Germamy
    
    A recerence on the internet (Deutschen Bund for April 1857) suggests  Hugo Adalbert may from Berlin and was arrested for criminal activity.
    
    However, another "Biographical Information" reference with a matching date of birth has:
    Dittmer, Hugo Adalbert Dittmer, Hugo Adalbert
    Date of birth: 29/05/1826
    Place of birth: [?] Strasburg (West Purssia)
    04/05/1840 inclusion in the Latin School in Halle.
    
    This second reference shows Hugo Adalbert Dittmer was well educated, which is consistent with him having a sucessful career as a shipping merchant.  However, both Strasbourg (on the SW border with France) and Halle, in East Germany near Leipzig are a long way from Hamburg (in the North), where the 1871 UK census had his birthplace.
