KAUNTZE - The English branch

compiled by Harry Kauntze


Everybody mentioned on this page carries the familyname of KAUNTZE - probably all of them are descendents of George (Henry) and Edward. These two emigrated from the Kingdom of Hanover and probably got the final "-e", when registering in England.

EDWARD KAUNTZ(E)

Note: William, a qualified doctor, and his bride Rebecca left for India soon after their marriage. He worked as a medical missionary in connection with the Baptist Missionary Society. He was active in Delhi, Simla, Patna, and Dinapore. During their years in India they had seven children: Martha Rebecca Eva (Lassie), Charlotte, William Henry (Laddie), Ernest Edward, George Gilbert (Bertie), Elsie Mary, and Charles Spurgeon. All of the children but Elsie and Charles attended school in England. Rebecca developed breast cancer, and William performed a mastectomy on the kitchen table with the servants holding her down - no anaesthetic. She recovered and lived to be 82! In 1892 the family returned to England to live at Hanworth (West London) to a large country house with a paddock. They later moved to Bolingbrook Grove (opposite Wandsworth Common in London). William worked as a locum at St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington. The family worshipped at Northcote Road Baptist Church, Battersea.
