• Notes

  ---- Important Note ---- I have decided to Merge the persons of Franz Peter Schell and Peter Charles Schell as at this point this is my best guess to where Peter Charles Schell fits into the picture. Much more work is required to make this connection complete but not connecting them would risk losing the connection in the future and by connecting them I am hoping it will help connect the family - MAS 3-13-08 Records under Peter Charles Schell No birth record for Peter Charles Schell has been found. We have all reason to believe that he was born in Joehlingen, Karlsruhe, Baden, Germany and based on his (Naturalized Nov. 14, 1848 (Cert# 1-264 USCC Boston) see Media and Sources for copy) he was born Feb. 27, 1825. Records for Franz Peter Schell Birth: 27 Feb 1825 Christening: 28 Feb 1825 Mother: Margareta Schell Father: NONE Source: IGI Record Batch: C949722 Date: 1814-1851 Source No: 1052128 (see Sources) ----- US Federal Census ----- 1840 Federal Census - Not Found to Date 1850 Federal Census Option 1 - Massachusetts, Norfork, Roxbury (Aug.12)(Roll 330 pp93): Peter (25) baker lives in Roxbury with Henry Whitney (35) baker and his wife and Fredrick Rain also 25 and a baker. This is the only listing that has Peter at the right age. It also has him living with a baker that is logical since he becomes a baker later on but Catharine (Brehm) Schell his wife, Josephine, and Mary should also be with him. This leaves two options. One this is not Peter and he is somewhere else or his wife and children are somewhere else. Option 2 - 1860 Federal Census Federal Census-1870 - Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA Peter was listed as "no occupation" ( I suspect this entry is wrong. Peter was still a baker.( see 1880 entry) ) at age 44 yrs. old and lived with his wife Catherine age 40 years old ( age recorded wrong) " keeping house" , his children, Josephine age 21 yrs. old "shop keeper", Mary 19 yrs.old " no occupation" ," Heny" (Catherine) age 17 yrs old " no occupation" and Peter age 7 yrs. old "at home". Federal Census - 1880 - Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA Peter is listed as baker at 54 yrs.old. He lives with his wife Catherine age 58 yrs. old and his children, Mary age 29 yrs. old "no occupation" and his son Peter age 17 yrs. old and listed as a baker. Also living with them was Lannia Beck age 23 yrs. old " stone clerk". Peter and family was still living above store at 1222 Washington St, Boston. ( records both Peter & Catherine born in Baden, Germany ) Federal Census - 1890 - Not available - Massachusetts records were destroyed in a fire. Death - June 4, 1900 - Before the Census was taken ---- City Directories ---- 1872 - Boston, Massachusetts Peter is first listed in 1872 ( Age 47) as a baker at 1068 Washington Street. In 1875 as baker at 1226 Washington Street. His residence was 1224 Washington St. In 1886 the bakery has enlarged to 1226-1354 Washington Street with residence at 1354 Washington Street (probably over bakery). 1886-1900 - Boston, Massachusetts Son is listed with Peter in 1886 and each year until his death in 1900. Peter Jr dies in 1901 and Carl Schuler( unidentified Schuler--not a William H. issue) is listed a baker. Anna T (Burkhardt) Schell) ,widow of Peter Jr, apparently ran the bakery with Peter Sr's widow until 1910. Anna lived at 21 Homes Ave. Dorchester. List in 1895 St Trinity Church of Boston Census along with son Peter and John M Schell (father?) IGI Record lists no father for Franz Peter Schell. Town Historian believes he was an out of wedlock birth. - MAS 8-10-08 I have decided to Merge the persons of Franz Peter Schell and Peter Charles Schell as at this point this is my best guess to where Peter Charles Schell fits into the picture. Much more work is required to make this connection complete but not connecting them would risk losing the connection in the future and by connecting them I am hoping it will help connect the family - MAS 3-13-08
