I have attached a bigger chunk of the document but I'm not sure it will be of much help.

Thanks for looking. You'll need access to Ancestry:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/1587/images/31161_A003092-00100?rc=&queryId=c3e52487-843c-4396-8ab0-1f96c37052ea&usePUB=true&_phsrc=KcS25194&_phstart=successSource&pId=562912
I'm looking for Friedrich Fritzsche (master shoemaker, b c 1836, Germany s Gottfried) who came to London in time to marry in 1859. This one arrived in 1858 which seemed to b e the right person, but clearly isn't.

Thanks very much, although that looks like Gottfried's occupation.
Does Friedrich Hermann Fritzsche have one as well?

Can someone please let me know the occupation of Friedrich and Gottfried.
I would like the first to be schuster/schuhmacher but it clearly isn't!
Thanks

an someone please tell me what Gottfird's profession is?
The column is headed 'Gewerbe das vaters' and I was hoping to see 'schneider' (tailor) but I think I'm going to be disappointed!
Thanks

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Did an engine tenter become a bricklayer? And where did he go?
« on: Monday 06 October 25 13:56 BST (UK) »
Well spotted and thanks - I did wonder whether Maria had remarried but hadn't looked into it.
I'm not actually related to any of them but have looked at John/Maria and earlier generations for someone else. I had assumed that the two John/Marias were the same, but suddenly thouight they might not be, so asked the question about engine tenter/bricklayer.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Did an engine tenter become a bricklayer? And where did he go?
« on: Monday 06 October 25 13:10 BST (UK) »
I am trying to track down this John and Maria:
1851 census 2 New Cleveland St, Leeds
John SHORT, 25, bricklayer with Maria, 20 and Ann, 2.
The only Ann SHORT I can find being born in Leeds c1849 is:
Baptism: 17 Jan 1849 d John (engine tenter) and Maria of Haymount Place, Leeds
Birth: 15 Dec 1848 d John (engine tenter) and Maria (nee PEARSON) of 7 Back Hay Mount Place
...which fits with this marriage in Wakefield:
1846 John SHORT, engineer s William and Maria, minor (actually only 15!), d John PEARSON, bricklayer
Are these John and Maria couples the same people, with Maria's father persuading John to move from looking after engines to laying bricks? It seems an odd change.
Either way, I can't find any of them in later censuses with the possible exception of a Maria SHORT , mar, 30, charwoman b Bradford in 1861 (she was actually born in Leeds).

Ireland / Re: Did Edward SWEENEY have a daughter in Ireland called Julia Ann?
« on: Wednesday 24 September 25 14:38 BST (UK) »
Yes, several of the baptisms were there.
Possible connection:
1802 bap Manchester Mary d Edm'd SWINNEY and Judith CROWLEY
This fits with the Mary SWEIN d Edward and Judith who dies aged 5 weeks Feb 1802
(I've now found all the baptisms on Ancestry. I've never found their search tool very effective)
