Re: Manger, Knobelsdorff - and Peter Keith!

And more deets on his kids and their actual first names, omg.

Remember that Adresskalender? ;) It's totally at fault for three different names, and it also has a very inconvenient gap between 1777 and 1787, but I still found some stuff:

1764: Kammergericht-Referendarii:
Carl Ernst Reinhard v. Keith
Friedrich Ludwig v. Keith, who both live "auf dem Jägerhofe" [this is the one and only mention of a Friedrich Ludwig]

1765: Kammergericht-Referendarii: Carl Ernst Reinhard v.K., who lives at Königl. Jägerhof, Große Jägerstrasse

nothing in 1766

1767-1771: Geheime Staatskanzlei: Peter Carl v. Keith, Legationsrath and Geh. Secretarius, "expediert sämtl. Schlesische Sachen", lives "hinter dem alten Packhof in dem Colbischen Hause"
1772-1774: same for Peter Carl, except he lives "close to the Jungferbrücke [that's the one between Brüderstrasse und Jägerhof by the way] im Knobelsdorffschen Hause"
1775-1776: Geheime Staatskanzlei + Royal Envoy at foreign courts: Peter Carl v. Keith, Legations-Rath, Königlicher Kammerherr and Envoyé Extraordinaire at the Turin Court, is absent [therefore no adress]

GAP 1777-1787

1788-1791: Geheime Staatskanzlei: Ernst Reinhard Carl v. K., Legationsrath, lives at Taubenstr. im Friedelschen Hause
and also: Widow v. Keith, born Baroness v. Kniphausen, great governess of the Queen [still EC], lives at the Palace

1792-98: same for Ernst Reinhard Carl, except that he "hat die Schlesische Expedition" under "Expedierende Geheime Secretarien"
[no Widow Keith anymore, so that fits, since Ariane died in in 1791]


It's like a "find the one that doesn't fit puzzle" and I have no idea. :P
