Ive just come home from the family search centre.

I worked out that this Johann Conrad is the Conrad Vorbach who died in the US in 1876.

I am a bit disappointed I thought I was onto something but at least this rules it out that this isn't the record of my Conrad.

I still don't understand why John's son would say that his grandmothers name was Elizabeth but I guess he could of just thought it was 

Hi all,

I have a copy of the marriage certificate.

Unfortunately it does not have his mother's name

It gives his name, that he was of full age (was hoping it would give a number), that his father is William and that he is also a farmer.

The witnesses seem to be friends not any relation that I can tell.

So I am not really sure where to go from here in regards to finding a record of him coming to England. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

The church marriage record would not have any more information than the marriage certificate.
Do you have a birthdate to compare?

I’ve only got a year from his death certificate. So he died in 1901 aged 74 which makes his birth about 1827.

I’m thinking it’s the Johann Conrad Vorbach one. But that’s only by going on what the death certificate said
