According to 1911 census Hannah 1876 was there at Boyd street and William henry 1888 who went into the army,and Lydia 1890 who died in 1913.
John the father must have died between 1911 and 1919 as on henry's army records mum Mary Ellen was a widow.

Henry's war no 313470.

Had a look at 1901,I have been trying for hours ,thankyou Rose.
it is always them damn transcribers who get it wrong,if you look at the original it clearly says ECKHO,it would save us alot of time if they had took the time to read it correctly don't you think.
They have thrown me off course lots of times in the past.
So now elizabeth we have them married 1880 and 1881,1891,1901 and 1911 census,do you agree/

Maryb
Have you thought about getting marriage certificate?

Elizabeth

Elizabeth Report 11 Aug 2009 12:38

wow,,, realy wish they could have put the name right!!1 what a goose chase. thanks mary, rose and christine!!

Yes I have the year they were married but I was told they were married in 1888?? This was from someone elses tree so have not varified it! but this looks wrong now as hannah was born in 1876?? so I will have to check the marriage bit out now. Definatly worth getting the certificate as will tell me loads! once i find the exact details i can order it?? not sure how too but another quest :)

mmm they must have been married before 1888.. no doubt,, right off to check!
thanks again liz

Hannah was born 1888,as on 1911 census she is 24 so she must have been their 1st child as they were married 1888 A/M/J,so i would say the marriage with Johan and mary ellen is the right one.

Mary Report 11 Aug 2009 13:23

Sorry it was 1880 when they married not 1888 as i said before, Hannah's birth was registered dec 1886.

Sorry to confuse you,I'am getting a bit dizzy with this.

So to clarify Johan Eckeho married Mary ellen Barkley in Liverpool A/M/J Volume no 8b page 261.
This can be ordered off Ancestry if you have joined.

I did not think that was the one but did not want to lose it. i am doing a FMP search of John c1842 surname blank born Germany

Do we know his occupation yet?

He may not be in the country of course

LadyKira

LadyKira Report 11 Aug 2009 14:43

1871
Person: ECKER, John
Address: German Hospital, St John Hackney

ECKER, John Patient M 26 1845 Germany matchmaker

one of a long list of patients born in Germany


I do not think it is this one

Too many variants and we do not know enough about when he came, who he came with or what he did.

Elizabeth Report 11 Aug 2009 17:29

hi! great mary.. i think hanna was the first born thats what i got on my tree and yes 1880 is a good date :)

I have not joined annestry but will today as feel i need that bit extra. Its become a bit of an addiction :) The person who gave me the dads name of Johan Echeho.. gave me a name of peter echeho as his father and again born in germany. I have NOT verified this name and they said the date of birth could have been 1820?? a stab in the dark but this is what they had.

I have asked them to tell me if they have the marriage cerificate but not heard yet? I am hoping they have got it,,, otherwise i will order it.

Thanks again.. you aare all fab.. a bit of news..my grandmother has now made contact with her cousion due to my research. They had had lost contact for abou 20years! if not longer!

Hi anne, thanks for th information. I think i had it but parked it some days ago.. becouse again i was not sure about the name ect. now i am positive the name and the family are right. i will amend that ada was the first... it is interesting she was born in manchester!!! so another line opens.

I did not have his death date either, so thanks for that.. great.. i keep re-checking post too check if i had parked it as the name was not right!!! hahah it makes it frustrating at times but very interstign :)
