Hit a Wall and not sure where to go.

Not sure why the marriage certificate and the death certificate lists parents with two different names.

Hello

Because it is almost certainly wrong.

May I suggest (and this depends on what you can afford and how accurate you want your lineage or tree to be), but you should always start with the official Certificate Copy of your earliest known predecessor / ancestor and work backward, checking at each stage that everything matches.

Having a correct marriage is a must, to try and attempt to find a couple in the Census.

Hopefully, as you go backward everything should fit.

Have you got the will for him for the additional information?

Wilhelm Holzhausen
Probate Date: 27th November 1897
Probate Place:Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
Case Number:   12837
Item Description:   Wills, Vol 94-95, 1897-1898

Yes, I looked at the last will.  But I didn't get see anything that would help me other than he
sometimes spelt his name with a T in it too, Holtzhausen.  I've tried searching for that also and couldn't come up with anything.  But then again, I may be looking at something that I don't know is helpful.

My William Holzhausen died in 1897.

If that is his Will, or you find a possible Will, you should definitely look for Wills and see them too.

Matching Wills can be a valuable source, to the family historian, depending on the detail.

There are several pages saying little, and names of children just to confirm the census after he has died?

If parents names are wrong,(on death) perhaps his wife did not know.

Also, several of the German records I was looking at gave about 3'first' names and surname, so perhaps they interchanged them at will.

Could you do a snip and post of the image of the parents names from the marriage and death certificates?

The link given to IGI confirms correct marriage/wife and children and death...

e.g.
Helmuth Robert Arthur Holzhausen
born  26 Nov 1895 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Father's Name:   Wilhelm Holzhausen
Father's Birthplace:   Ger.
Mother's Name:   Frieda Krause
Mother's Birthplace:   Tess Corner, Wankesha Co.

Attached is what I have for his death and marriage certificates.

Thanks again.

Thank-you for the death.

Marriage?

[Racer787]

Sorry, trying to get the marriage to go through but telling me to large.
