Who died in Höhscheid in 1816?
Once again I see the signature of Johann Abraham Knecht. But I cant see who died. Can you?

This is the death record for Henrietta Knecht, who died on 21 August 1816. Her father Johann Abrham and grandfather Johann Abraham notified the civil registrar of the death. She was age 1 year, 6 months, and 9 days. Her mother was Anna Catharina Bonjard.

Hi Gary,
Here is this Henriette's 1815 birth record

And her parents marriage record in 1812

In those records, the wife's last name looks more like Bongard. There are an amazing number of Johann Abraham Knechts in these Solingen records. I don't envy you trying to keep them all straight.

Thanks again, @sylviaelchinger1 and @JohnsonGreg -- There are already ten Johann Abrahams on my tree and a dozen more I'm trying to sort out. Wives are usually a good clue. "Bongard[s]" is a familiar surname, but I have not yet been able to add her to my tree. I will keep trying.--Best, Gary

Just FYI, the "s" on the end of Bongard is just a grammatical ending, not a part of the surname.
