Hey Everyone Thanks for your help so far. I spent some time looking over the Schauers in Stettin for those Churches and couldn't find any of the names I was after. Perhaps their church wasn't one of the 4 in Familysearch? I was browsing for quite awhile to find anything on Schauer.

The Documents I have relating to Herman include
His Aug 1871 Marriage Cert in Bendigo, Victoria, Written down as
Herman Julius Schauer. Bachelor and Miner. Born in Stettin Russia. Age 31 (so b. about 1840)
Son of Carl Schauer (Locksmith) and Auguste Hertz (appears so, maybe Harz, the writing is tiny, but his death cert has Hertz for mother)
(Fun fact. His daughter Auguste Frederika Schauer b. 1881 may have been named after his mother)
I have an Unassisted passenger of Mr Schauer, age 30, listed as Irish coming of a 9 April 1869 ship to Melbourne called Gothenburg from the port of Greymouth.
My thought here is the age matches and he might have been hiding his nationality? How many Irish Schauers could there be? It only puts his age out about 12 months. from the marriage cert. but if this ship document is incorrect, it doesn't change his origin story from Stettin.
I have Herman Julius Schauer dying in 1844, Bairnsdale Victoria. Apparently he died age 44 (1844) which would be 5 years off, but all the papers in that area prove him to be from the right family, and death cert of the right parents.
I have the marriage listing from ancestry of the book "Evangelische Kirche Sankt Jacobi Prenzlau (KrSt. Prenzlau)" on 25 Jun 1863 of a Herrmann Julius Schauer.
Age 24 (So b. about 1839)
Father listed as Carl Heinrich Schauer
Married Charlotte Auguste Tugedrich Buhro
Prenzlau, Brandenburg, Preuben
I have from Familysearch a son
Paul Max Franz Oscar born and buried the same year 1868, Berlin, Brandenburg, Germany.
Father: Herman Schauer with no mother's name.
Though now as I write this. I see that there there there was another couple named:
Hermann Julius Schauer & Catherine Sophie Elmeier. who had 2 Children in nearby int he city of: BARTHOLOMAEUS, BERLIN STADT, BRANDENBURG, PRUSSIA
1.) Franz Friedrich Schauer 1867
2.) Hermann Arthur Schauer 1869
So maybe this Paul Max Franz Oscar Schauer could be theirs.
I've mentioned this document too, This time, from the book "Evangelische Kirche Sankt Marien Prenzlau"
Charlotte Auguste Tugendreich Schauer marrying a Karl Heinruch Otto Rohde in 1886, Prenzlau, Brandenburg, Preuben. Her father was Johnn Christian Friedrich Buhrow.
Lastly. From familysearch I find the parents Carl Heinrich Schauer with Julie Auguste Schauer
They had children the.
1840 Brabow Stettin, Pommern, Prussia
1842 Neuwarp, Pommern, Prussua
1845 Neuwarp, Pommern, Prussua
1846 Neuwarp, Pommern, Prussua
etc...
Since their 1840 child was born in Stettin, which is only down the road from Neuwarp, I assumed that Hermann born probably 1839 would have been born there too to these same parents who moved after their 1840 child. Since I haven't haven't found Herman Julius Schauer's baptism yet.
I haven't got an Ancestry subscription, or anything like it. I just find the info where I can.
