Trying to find death of Charles Eckhart between 1871/81 Sheffield
« on: Wednesday 14 September 11 14:33 BST (UK) »
Trying to find death of Charles Eckhart born abt 1827 Nassau Germany
Death was between 1871/81 probably Sheffield.
Have looked on FreeBMD but was unable to locate it.
I have come across several different spellings of the surname, Eckhardt, Egart. Earnhart but have had no luck locating him!
Any help appreciated.

Hello gingerslf,

Have had a look at Yorkshire BMD nothing jumping out  :(

Do you have any other info. for Charles?
Did he marry?
Do you have him on any census?

Thanks KGarrad for 1871c - I eventually found them  :)

1881 living Sheffield Christiana Eckhardt widowed

Christiana ECKHARDT dies age 75 1903 Sheffield Yorkshire West Riding
it looks as if hjstort may have found Charles/Carl Eckhardt's death 1873, obtaining the death certificate may be the only way to find out if it's definately Charles

All the info that people have found above is correct, looks like Carl Eckhart death certificate is way to go.
Thanks for help all.

If Carl is him, is it possible that he was actually born with this name and then changed it to Charles on coming to England to appear more 'English'?

My grandmother and her siblings (all born in Germany) Anglicised their names on coming to England in the 19th Century - Great Uncle Carl was known as Charles or Charlie. So it is probable that your relation did the same.
