Trying to find death of Charles Eckhart between 1871/81 Sheffield

[Tom Piper]

It looks like Christiana's house was sold around her in 1874:

Thanks for that Tom
I didn't know such info was available.
It looks like the house was sold less than a year after her husband died.

Steve,

The information is available at your local library from home with your library ticket online-quite addictive and with a surname like Eckhardt, pretty easy to both search and recognise.

In the late 1870's to 1880's the name Charles Eckhardt and C. Eckhardt keep appearing as a competitor in professional handicap foot races, both in Sheffield at Hyde Park and New Hall, and also at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. In the 1890's an Eckardt is involved in the forming of a union of cutlers, and in a couple of entries a Mrs. Eckhardt and a Mrs Best appear as witnesses in an inquest.

So worth following it up at your local library be it here in UK or elsewhere.

I am also a relative of Charles (Karl) Eckhardt born 1824 in Nassau, Germany.  Which line of the family are you from? Our family line is from his son John (Johannes) Eckhardt, Charles was my Great-great-great grandfather.

Hi Daisy

It's not actually my family, I'm doing the tree for a friend.

Charles (Karl) Eckhardt b1824 married Christiana KLEIN/KLYNE b1824 Nassau/Darmstadt.

She had a sister, Sophia b1834 who married Michael FISHER b1838.

My friend is descended down this line.

Hi Steve
I have traced the family back to Germany and have Sophia and Christiana's parents (Adam and Susannah) and paternal grandparents names. Have you traced any further back than that? I have not been able to trace their actual passage to the UK though.
