Subject: Enquiery about Didrik Galtrup Gjedde
Nyholm, judge in Cairo, from Denmark/Fwd: FW: About Diderik Galtrup Gjedde
Nyholm, judge in British imperial Egypt
I'm a Norwegian citizen, living in the UK.
I was adviced by the University of Cambridge,
to contact you.
It's regarding my ancestor, Didrik Galtrup
Gjedde Nyholm, from Denmark, who was my grandmother, Ingeborg Ribsskog's
grand-uncle.
He worked in an international court in Cairo,
and I was just wondering if I have illuminists/kabalists, in my family, so I
was wondering if he stated any interests in old egyptian religion etc., when he
got the job as a judge in Cairo?
Since I have so many 'New Age'-people in my
family, and my grandmother was also 'New Age', so I was wondering if the judge
was 'New Age', since the judge's brother, my grandmoters grandfather, the
general Anders (Gjedde) Nyholm, was in charge of all of Denmarks war-forces,
(chief of the generalkommando), in the 1920's, so I was wondering if he or
someone in my family, where 'New Age "spies"'.
Here is more about Didrik Galtrup Gjedde
Nyholm:
SECOND YEAR BOOK OF THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS.
DIDRIK GALTRUP GJEDDE NYHOLM (Denmark).
Member of the International Mixed Tribunal at
Cairo since
1896 and Vice-President of that body since
1916; Justice of
the Court of Appeals at Copenhagen; member of
the Perma-
nent Court of Arbitration at The Hague;
author of one of the
draft schemes for an International Court of
Justice used by
the Committee of International Jurists as a
basis for the
scheme finally adopted by the League.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Subject: Re: FW: About Diderik Galtrup Gjedde
Nyholm, judge in British imperial Egypt
My PhD supervisor Dr. Harper forwarded your
email to me.
I think you should visit the National
Archives in person and explain to them the person you are looking for - the staff
are very good and you may find something there.
In Egypt, and many parts of the British
Empire, non-British Europeans often filled positions such as judges. The
British were only concerned to exclude natives of the country they were ruling
(at least until the later nineteenth century). Particularly in the Egyptian
case there was a long precedent of Europeans holding positions of power
(Egypt's ruler in the early nineteenth century Muhammad Ali was Albanian, and
many Europeans were employed in the finance ministry, the judiciary, the police
force, and especially the Army). I hope this answers your question.

Subject: About Diderik Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm,
judge in British imperial Egypt
I'm a Norwegian citizen, who's living in the
UK, (due to problems with my family etc., without that I've done anything
wrong, that I know of, at least, in Norway), and I have a late grandmoter from
Denmark, Ingeborg Ribsskog, who said that she was from the Danish noble-family
Gjedde.
But I've later found out, on the internet,
that they weren't noble after all, so this was a lie, I think I have to say.
And, in her family, was eg. her grandfather,
her mothers father, Anders Gjedde Nyholm, who was Chief of the Generalkommando,
that's the general with control on all of Denmarks war-forces, in the 1920's.
And her grand-uncle, was Diderik Galtrup
Gjedde Nyholm, who was a judge, for the British imperial courts, in Cairo, and
then later a judge in the International Court, in Hague, in the 1920's.
I wonder why they would lie about the noble
backgroud.
Anders Gjedde Nyholm, only wrote A. Nyholm,
I've seen, as a signature, on official portrait-photographs in the Danish
military-archives.
And their grandfather, was a farmers son,
I've read on Thisted Museum's, in Denmark's, website.
So they weren't noble, but they maybe used
the Gjedde-name to get prestige, because of the famous Admiral and colonisator
of Tharambangdi, in India, for Denmark-Norway, Ove Gjedde, was famous, and
maybe they pretended to be from the same family?
I've tried to serch the British National
Archives online, about this, but I got no result, so I didn't know how to try
to find out about this, other than contacting a good university.
I was wondering why the British Imperial
Courts in Cairo, would let a Dane, (my grandmothers grand-uncle), Diderik
Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm, be a judge, in the British Empire?
Isn't this a bit strange, weren't this
positions normally given to people from the British Empire?
I hope you have the chance to answer about
this, or that you know of someone who might know about this!
I hope it's alright to ask about this, and I
apologise, if it isn't.
