JOHANNES HERION and KATHARINA SCHUHMACHER

[OrbitalAthlete]

Hi everybody

1901 Census for 34, Lissom Street Residences, St Marylebone, London has GEORGE HERION a baker b Heidelberg c1864.

He married as GEORGE ADAM HERION Mary Ann Goss on 16 Jan 1887 St Marylebone. His father's name is given as JOHN HERION a tailor.

The IGI for Germany gives the following.

GEORG ADAM HERION was Christened on 03 MAY 1865 at Evangelisch, Schoenau, Heidelberg, Baden
His parents are given as JOHANNES HERION and KATHARINA SCHUHMACHER.

Here I came unstuck as I cannot see the marriage for JOHANNES HERION and KATHARINA SCHUHMACHER, but they are christening children from c1845 onwards.

Throughout the same period, there are also children being christened in the same church for JOHANNES HERION and EVA KATHARINA SCHUHMACHER.

Is there any chance of establishing

a. whether Eva and Katharina are one and the same

b. the marriage and parentage of JOHANNES HERION and KATHARINA SCHUHMACHER?

Thank you.

Any ideas would be gratefully received as it is for a friend.

Best wishes

I'd be inclined to suspect that two brothers married two sisters.

You have Georg/George HERION and Johannes/John (named for the father of the two?) - assuming that ages work sensibly.

Having said that, I suppose there's no reason why he shouldn't have been Georg Johannes (a.k.a. George John) in the same way (except re-reading shows that you'd expect the middle name to be Adam... grrr) that Eva Katherina looks as if she were the same person as Katherina.

... Anything on the beta/pilot site?

Might it be worth seeing if you can pick up any info from looking at the sister, "Marie Anna Catherine "? (b 1854-5, and who marries Harry Wiegand in 1880

Thank you very much Christine
I'm inclined to think they are one and the same... all the others begin with C. I suppose it depended on the priest's transcription.

"Anything on the beta/pilot site?" What that???

It has a load of stuff that isn't on the IGI, though.

And, in some cases, it has links to images.
