Baby Death

Anonymus (unnamed boy), born Nov.[ember] 17, 1869 in the evening at 5 o’clock, not baptized,
(so either stillborn or deceased immediately after birth)
 
Thanks. Very sad, their 3rd child dies young too 1875 - 1877, then the records stop so I don't know if hey went on to have a family or not. Many thanks, Karen.
 
Maybe you missed the second child Johann August, born June 11, 1871? He survived, married Magdalena Sophie Brenz from Brüchlingen on June 11, 1896 and died March 24, 1925.

Birth: http://www.archion.de/p/d3790d7db0/

They also had a daughter Anna, born April 21 1878. She married the painter Karl Wilhelm Schmid in Wildbad on November 7, 1899. Death not mentioned.

This information is from the 2nd family register that you can find on Ancestry:


In total they had 9 children, but only Johann August and Anna reached adulthood.
 
In fact the last 3 children were with his second wife Magdalene Elisabeth née Schneider that he married on February 9, 1886. His first wife Rosina Katharina Roll had died on March 21, 1885.

Johann Georg Konrad August Matthes died April 15, 1893.
 
O wow. That's amazing. Thank you. I had info on some of the children but couldn't remember where I had found it. It must have been ancestry. I have learned to keep a record of all my findings now! Thank you :D
 
Really annoyingly I can't access that document on ancestry.de and it doesn't seem to be on ancestry.uk. Can I run some names and dates of the children by you and see if I have them right (found in separate records).

Ancestry sells different kinds of membership. Yours might not entitle you to see that document. If I open


, I can see exactly the same page as on ancestry.de, so it's basically there.
 
Just checking. Where you have written anonymous for Child 9 above, can I just confirm that the baby was a boy. In English 'anonymous' is for male or female. Many Thanks, Karen.
 
yes , Anonymus (latin) stands for a male stillborn child (or deceased immediately after birth, as user722 wrote above)
(Anonyma= female)
