Roger: Misunderstanding: we live in London, UK. Out of curiosity, we found census records, births, marriages and deaths (only 2, so far). As we found the original P. item in an optical antiques collectors club newsletter, we have asked one of the editors whether they have further information. If we find anything, we'll let you know.
As for the name Moritz, it is German and Middle European. Are you interested in a scanned copy of the invoice published in the newsletter?
Dorothy (and Henri, the optician/optometrist)
