This could be very difficult.
Because in Germany we have very strong data-protection:

birth 110 years
marriage 80 years
death 30 years

Hi Sarah,
tomorrow I will print the document, write the old German handwriting in latin letters and I translate it for you.

It then states that Karl and Bertha are 'Wohnhaft zu' (resident in) a place that begins with an 'N', I think.
>>>the city is Stettin (today Poland)

there are two handwritten words, written before the name Karl.
>>>Sohn des verstorbenen Schiffs??? Karl August Herrlich und dessen Ehefrau Bertha geborene Weber
>>>son of the dead "his job something with ship" Karl August Herrlich and his wife Bertha maiden name Weber

Tomorrow I will also try to read what his job was. The document is from Hamburg, there is the biggest seaport in Germany.

There is also a second site, I will post it tomorrow with translation.

His marriage

Hi Glyn,

it is not a German custom. I know that we can do this here in Germany, but I don't know anyone you did it or hear about it. Are you sure she had dug up her husband and reburied? On German cementries you often find gravestones with names of their family members who died as a soldier in WW2 somewhere else. The families do this in memory. But there are only the names (with birth and dead) on the gravestone.

These days we reburry people from WW2 which were found in the forrest or somewhere else. But this soldiers hadn't have a regular grave, they were not buried on a cemetery. In Germany still 1 million soldiers from the WW2 are missing today. For more information about this please look here www.volksbund.de   On the right side above are flags, there you can change the language.

I hope you understand this, it is not so easy for me to explain it in English.

Betty
