Hi Sarah,
tomorrow I will print the document, write the old German handwriting in latin letters and I translate it for you.

It then states that Karl and Bertha are 'Wohnhaft zu' (resident in) a place that begins with an 'N', I think.
>>>the city is Stettin (today Poland)

there are two handwritten words, written before the name Karl.
>>>Sohn des verstorbenen Schiffs??? Karl August Herrlich und dessen Ehefrau Bertha geborene Weber
>>>son of the dead "his job something with ship" Karl August Herrlich and his wife Bertha maiden name Weber

Tomorrow I will also try to read what his job was. The document is from Hamburg, there is the biggest seaport in Germany.

There is also a second site, I will post it tomorrow with translation.

Karl August Herrlich had a lot of sisters and brothers. Are you interested?

[Rudolf H B]

Hi,

the place with "N" is Stettin, Prussia.

the profession is Schiffsmakler = ship's agent or broker;

there is a street name ...........street #8, in Hamburg St. Georg

Thank you black.betty and Rudolph.

Thank you black.betty for offering to translate this for me and thank you for your time. That's so kind of you.

Yes, I'm interested to find out more about Karl August Herrlich. I don't know much about his family or his brothers and sisters, so it would be nice to find out more. I know that Karl and Bertha had quite a lot of children and I know their children's names, but I don't know about Karl's siblings.

I know that Otto was born in Stettin, but for some reason, I didn't recognise this as the place name on the document, which I mistakenly thought began with an 'N'. Thank you both Betty and Rudolph for your help with this and thank you for telling me about Karl Herrlich's connection to shipping. I did not know about this. Coincidently, I also have an English ancestor from the north east of England who was a ship's agent / broker around this period of time.

I look forward to hearing from you black.betty. Thank you for all you help.

Sarah.

You are welcome,

Zwanck being Dr. phil. might be a teacher;

the street is: Bleicherstraße 8, St. Georg, Hamburg

Thank you for the street addresses and also; thank you for pointing out Zwanck's academic title etc. This would make sense, as I understood them to be seemingly quite a 'middle class' family.

Sarah.
