Bachman : Germany to New York

    I am looking for J C Henry Bachman, born 1830, Bremen, Germany. Parents and other members of family unknown.


    He married Mary E K Thompson in 1858 in New York, USA. I believe the family went back to Germany after 1870. Their children all born in USA were:


    Meta Bachman, born 1860


    William Corscaden Thompson Bachman, born 1861


    Christol Bachman, born 1862


    Lilla Bachman, born 1864


    Any help with their details in Germany would be greatly appreciated.

    I found in U.S Passport Application 1795-1925


    J C Henry Bachmann born 19.2.1830 in Bremen, Residence 1896 in Westfield, New Jersey, emigrated 15.12.1850 Ship Washingthon.

    Thank you Peter for both your suggestions - I will follow them up. I think that the passport application in 1896 is the most probable but I will have to see if his wife Mary also got a passport. However she was born in England but her father was an American citizen.


    Her sister Kate made at least two trips to Germany after 1896 so perhaps she was visiting her sister Mary.
