For your information,theres a tree on A,,,,,,Y giving Henry Schumaker born 1819 Hanover Germany married to Catherine Johnson born 1829.

Another idea, The British Queen,steamship arrived Liverpool from New York with 42 passengers, includes, H G Schumaker, Thursday evening April 29th 1841.[Dublin Monitor.]

Thanks for this. I don’t have access to A at the moment but if I recall correctly that tree may have the wrong parents for Henry in 1819 in Germany. I have them as Daniel Schumacher and Ahlke Schachmann and I am reasonably confident that they are the correct parents. I have the birth certificate for Henry.

I don’t recall the tree having the details of Henry & Catherine’s son Henry’s birth in 1846. I may be wrong. If it says at sea there is nothing to back it up. Subsequent censuses all say Ireland. I tried to contact one tree owner to no avail

Interesting re the steamship. I have no idea how he travelled from Germany to Cork but I do have a possible Henry Schumacher age 22 in St George’s Tower Hamlets in the 1841 census. He was a sugar boiler and they often stayed with other sugar workers near refineries. I have no way of knowing whether this is the correct Henry other than him being approx the correct age and staying in a sugar refining district.

I don’t know when he arrived in Cork.

I have been reasonably successful with German and UK records but the Irish records have me stumped

Sorry. unable to get anywhere with this, its quite complex. Will mention though that I believe Catherine Johnston, Henrys wife, may have been born earlier than you think.

Thanks for trying. It is quite complex indeed.

I wonder what leads you to say she might have been born earlier than thought? Very little would surprise me about this family.
