William Henry Eccardt was my great grandfather. His son Frederick wsas my grandfather. I have traced what I think are all the Eccardts in the UK back to 1750. William Henry married Mary Ann Martin on 31 August 1887.
Willian Henry was born to Henry Eccardt and his third wife Ann Lane on 8 December 1848 in Wargrave. He died aged 60 on Sunday 7 March 1909 at 12 Ruthven Road , Litherland, Liverpool and was buried in Walton Park Cemetery on 10 March 1909. He met Mary Ann whilst he was stationed at Seaforth barracks with the dragoons. They married from the same address of 15 Sweden Street the year after Great Aunt Nellie was born. Their family is thus:
1 Ellen Martin born Sept 1/4 1886
married 1 Sept 1/4 1907 to John William Roberts (Willy) who ownwed a barbers shop on Seaforth Road. they had 3 children and then divorced
married 2 June 1/4 1920 to Thomas Johnson

7 Ada Ann Marion Septavia Eccardt

Mary Ann was buried with her husband in Walton Park cemetery after a service at St Philips church Litherland. he retired on an army pension aged 37 yrs and at 43 became a member of the Seaforth and Litherland Working Men's Conservative Club.. he is listed as having various occupations after his retirement. "Gentleman" as his occupation on his marriage cert.
Army Pensioner, House agent
Rent Collector and Lamplighter Public Streets.
Mary Ann's parents were William Martin and Ann Dempsey and they were possibly newly married when Mary ann was born as the mother signed the birth cert in her maiden name and then ammended it. Her father was a house painter.
Nellie had 3 children to John Roberts

Well you did say you wanted info. sorry for all the typos but I can't be bothered to check my typing!
All Frederick Eccartd's children were born at 12 Ruthven Road (where William died) I lived next door at no 10, Edna at no 8, and /hilda at no 6. the houses were demolished in 1979.
William had two half brother's 'down South' but that's another story.
Hope this is of help to you.
