Transcription/ Translation Request for 1866 Hamburg paternity document

Ian.Perry

I recently obtained a document that I would like to get transcribed into German as well as translated to English.

The document concerns the attempt by Markus Roze to have his paternity of the child Gustav Adolph Carl legally quashed. Markus claimed the child’s father was not him but his co-worker. The child was born in 1866 to his wife Elisabeth in 1866 and subsequently died later the same year.

I will attach the cover and two pages of the document which is labelled “Protest von Markus Roze gegen die Eintragung der Geburt eines Kindes seiner Frau als eheliches”.

Thank you very much if you can help me with this document which is important for my research.

Regards, Ian

5 October 1866

The registrar Hinsch in Eimsbüttel notifies: The wife of the local inhabitant and varnisher Markus Roze with the name Elisabeth Juliane Henriette née Niemeyer, residing in Eimsbüttel, Eppendorfer Weg No. 9, gave birth to a child on 18 September 1866, and now the husband Roze refuses to have this child registered in his name in the birth register, claiming that it was produced by his wife in adultery with his journeyman Heinrich Asmus Tank, from Rahenkirchen <Comment: should probably be Rabenkirchen>, in Schleswig.

Hinsch asks for instruction of the high sovereignty, because the signature of Roze could not be obtained in the legal form.

It should be noted that the Roze spouses have lived together until now.

Summoned: Markus Roze, in person.

[States that] He lives with his wife in the same house, but has had no contact with her for a year and a half; the dwellings are separated; he has agreed with his wife to divorce, but the lawyer has demanded too much advance on costs.

Decree that the child is to be registered in the name of Roze as his legitimate child.

Decree that, according to the marriage record of 12 December 1864 in Eppendorf, according to which Markus Roze was married with Elisabeth Juliane Henriette Niemeyer on 11 December of the same year, the child born to the aforementioned wife Roze on 18 September of this year is to be registered as a legitimate child of Markus Roze and to desist from the signature of the registration in view of the circumstances, also to authorize Mrs. Roze to determine the first names of the child, whereby reference(?) is to be made to the decision attached to the register. Incidentally, with regard to the disputed paternity, both parties reserve their rights to be asserted by legal action.
