Hi Brie, thanks for the link it was very interesting. Charles was a tailor in Liverpool but I don't know who he worked for. Would maybe make sense if he had moved for work but again I think it's a long way to come without a specific job or reason to make the trip

I didn't know about Robert sent being a baker or what happened to him, just that he had died at a young age. It's this sort of detail about ancestors that brings them to life so thank you.
The cert for Charles and Anne's marriage didn't have info about Charles father I'm afraid..
I'm still wondering about Charles getting to Liverpool though. I've tried checking ships records with no luck and I believe he would have had to register with the local JP as an alien upon his arrival but again I'm not having any luck. Seems an unusual decision to move from Prussia all the way to Liverpool without a specific reason

I don't have the info for their marriage with me but if I remember correctly it was late 1860's / early 1870's. I have seen a copy of the marriage cert so can confirm its correct.

Hi and thank you,
That is the correct Charles Obst and 1859 is the year of his son's birth ( although as you say it appears to be from his wife's previous marriage). Charles was living in a boarding house in seel street, Liverpool of which Ann ruxton was landlady. I know her first husband had died around the time Robert was born and she and Charles eventually got married. The questions arise as to whether Ann was mother to Charles kids or stepmother..and if it was the latter, who and where was the mother as the kids must have been born in liverpool

Hi, I'm looking for information about my g g uncle. His name was Charles Obst and he was from Saxony, Prussia originally. I know he lived in Liverpool and was a tailor. The earliest I can find anything about him is about 1859. I'm wondering how to find how he came to be in Liverpool and when he arrived (and why?) As far as I can tell he was the only Obst here until he had his children.
Any help would be great
Thanks
