Seeking to identify Oskar Schmidt's occupation

Thanks! Not stone cutter, got it. Some type of laborer fits what he did the rest of his life.

That first letter of the second word does look like C, as it kinda matches the C in Clara on the same page.

Hi, thanks for the help! It does look like Hosp. Seller.

The birth year is off, so I don't think it's that Oskar. 1834 vs 1890.

I believe it might be Oscar Robert Schmidt, though he was a Laborer/Harness Maker throughout his life. The immigration and birth years match what's on the 1900 Census I was working off of.

Hi! I could start at the beginning ~

I am working on Mary Schmidt and trying to figure out her parents. She married Timothy McGinness in West Hoboken on 5 Sep 1886, and was born Feb 1865 (1900 Census) or 1867 (all other Census records for her). I ordered a photocopy of Mary Schmidt's marriage certificate back in December and it's been a long time to wait, so I figured I can explore the possible parents ahead of time to be ready when I get the result. IF I get the result.

The key information I have is that her father is born in Germany and her mother is born in Ireland.

Just based on the 1900 Census for Mary Schmidt, she was born Feb 1865. Oscar of Germany and Bridget of Ireland could fit since their daughter Mary Schmidt was born 5 Jan 1864 in West Hoboken. Or Christian Schmidt and Maria Dacey could fit since their daughter Maria Schmidt was born 1 Jan 1865 in Jersey City. I still want to know if Christian and Maria are from Germany/Ireland.

As for Oscar's immigration record... The Census says he's Oscar Robert Schmidt or Robert Oscar Schmidt from Saxony who immigrated in 1852 (his 1900 Census). The immigration record I shared is from 1852. That's all I have to go on there, his name, and that date.

________________

My goal is [a] to find records from Christian Schmidt and Maria Dacey to see if they're German/Irish, [b] to find the immigration records of Mary Schmidt's parents, no matter who they were.

There is another person on Ancestry who is a descendent of Mary Schmidt and Timothy McGinness, and it would be great to help her as I help myself.

That son Michael record is totally new to me!

I'm going to try and search for any Census records with Christian and Maria... want to see if they're German/Irish. For some reason, it's not coming up on Ancestry. Maybe the names are messed up a bit.
