Germany. Mannheim family registers look up please.

[sharpie]

Having returned to my family searches after a few years break, I have discovered that my husband's grandmother, Hermine Schneider, may have lived in Mannheim,  so did a search of the Mannheim family registers on Ancestry and found 6 matches but can’t see them as I don’t have a world wide subscription. 
She was born in 1896 but she would never talk about her parents or childhood in Germany.  It was a family joke that her father was Herman the German but nobody knows if this was true. We think her mother’s name was  Rosa. Could anyone please check these 6 matches to see if any of these details match any of them.

Thank you
Jan

Sorry not to have replied sooner but a medical emergency in the family has kept me away from home.
 
According to the birth registration document, I have a copy, of Hermine was born in 1896 at the house of a midwife  in Cologne, who registered the birth to unmarried Rosa Schneider. In November 1911 Hermine travelled alone on the ship Eleonore Woermann disembarking at Madeira. On the shipping record she gives her home town as Mannheim, Baden.

She married in the Uk in 1922 and on the certificate her father is given as Herman Schneider deceased and I had hoped to find a record of the family in Mannheim in the years between her birth and her sailing.

She spent the rest of her life trying to hide her background from her family and everyone else here and after her death we found the document that she had applied to Germany for, to enable her to get a pension, with her parents names cut out.

I think I may be at a dead end with family line but come back to it periodically in the hope that something will turn up.

I would be grateful for any advice anyone can give me. Sharpie
