Naturalization Record

[stevejgarton]

The death cert for Charles Henning in 1896 has arrived and makes interesting reading, giving mothers name as Charlotte born Sweden, father born Norway name unknown therefore backing up the theory from earlier in the thread that he couldnt remember or didnt know his fathers name so gave it as Charles. Buried in Arlington Cemetary. Cant make out the very last line, is it a plot reference?

Excellent news. Now I am sure you have the right family from Sweden and Norway.

Wow - thank you for the update Steve. His age at death is very specific - even giving months and days! I haven't worked that out to determine his actual birth month, that would be useful to do to see if it corresponds with the one found earlier. Provided his age at death is correct of course.
 
As his father's name is unknown --- it does point to the wonderful Norwegian find of Iver the vet discovered by Jamcat.
Strange that all that detail is given - yet he is shown as married, but no wife's details are given.

I can't decipher the last line either - does look a bit like a reference of some sort.

His birth date on the birth record: 21 May 1833
His birth date on the death record: 21 May 1832

Great news Steve.

Your update prompted me to have another look at the daughters, and I found this baptism:

St Nicholas, New York (Roman Catholic)
Born 26 Oct 1866, Baptised 15 Sep 1867, Josephina Henning d/o Caroli Henning & Annae Peters. 

The transcription says Location: Manhattan, Residence: Norvegia, but I think something has been lost in translation & 'Norvegia' relates to fathers place of birth.

Very odd... there is this marriage in Manhattan on 4 Dec 1889:

Josephine Hemming 23 Parents Charles Hemming & Margaret Neff
Frederick Goppert 23 Parents Frederick Goppert & Christine Vill

I was inclined to dismiss it because of Josephine's mother, but they turn up in Argyle Place, Kearny NJ in 1900 - fathers birth place Norway, mother's Germany.  Added: Annie (Robertson nee Henning) was also in Argyle Place in 1900.

By 1910 her father is from France & her mother is from Norway!

ADDED: In 1930 Anna Robertson & Josephine Goppert are in the same household in New Jersey, Anna is Head and Josephine is listed as sister.
