The information I have is yes.

I have requested the death certificate for Carl Peter.

He Died Stockton County Durham aged 61 March quarter of 1881 which would give a birth year of circa 1819. I have a Family group record from family search.org that links Carl Peter to Philip Carl his son.

I also have a copy of the 1881 Census from Scotland that gives the birth place of Philip Carl as (N)assau in Germany. Now making a jump of logic I would say that the record you have for Carl Peter is for the same Carl Peter as I have records of.

looking at German history Nassau was caught up in the Austro Prussian war of 1866

It is not a great jump to guess perhaps that a Henrici family group left Germany at this time and moved to NE England, the records show a number of people with that name in the area. Also I have skimmed some German family records and there seem to be a large number of Henrici's in the Nassau area.

How are you connected?

I am interested as Henrici is a rare name in the UK.

Look forward to hearing from you
