Andrea, did the wife come with children? If so, a good estimate is the birth (minus 9 months) of the last child born in Germany. The years between immigration of husbands and wife that I have come across was generally one to two years.

I found similar results in my family.... wife and children arrived in June 1865, father came in December 1864. On 12/6/06, Ursula B.

My great-grandfather came over in 1867. He sent for his mother, a widow, who came over in 1869. He met and married his wife in 1877. (I had thought his mother came over after he married and was established, but I found the date of her arrival and was surprised -as I usually am!) I've found several families who came over after their husbands died.
