german pork butchers - SHY / SCHEU

[groom]

I'm wondering whether women travelling as part of a family group aren't shown on the passenger lists? I'm having the same problem as you, I can find my great grandfather but not his future wife. I know the approximate date she must have arrived, but there doesn't appear to be any record for her or her sisters. Family folk law said they met on the boat coming to England, I'm not sure about that, although as they came from the same town they probably knew each other. They definitely married here though.

Groom, that is interesting and may be possible, worth investigating. I know that documents are not always very accurate but it says that george's application date was Oct 1863 but the 1881 census says that son Charles was born in Germany in 1865.....did it take a few years for the application to be approved .....they married in Goole in 1867. I will investigate more at the weekend

Hello,
It seems your George Scheu had an older brother. There's a Ferdinand Friedrich Scheu of Künzelsau in the rootschat pork butcher database. Ferdinand Friedrich lived in Bradford. He was probably the pacemaker for his younger brother in the trade.
Find him with the following link: http://surname.rootschat.com/lexicon/dbsig/dbsig-quick-search.php?dbsig_num=1&letter=S&view=709
I would like to encourage you to put your George also into the database.

Best wishes
Histres
