Notice biographique

Christopher Müller arrived in England from Wertheim in Germany, via Paris, in or before 1886. He started work in March 1886 in London as a book-keeper and correspondent with the British Woollen Warehouse Corporation, and in 1895 moved to Kuetgens Bros, woollen merchants in a similar capacity. He left that situation in 1898. It is not clear what he was doing between 1898 and 1912 but his tax returns indicate that he was living in London. In May 1912 he started a business as a Commission Agent, dealing chiefly in furs and pelts, and trading with France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Russia. He died in 1915. The business seems to have been carried on for a short while by his son Fritz (Frederick) Müller, a publisher, but finally ceased about 1921.
