I am looking for more information on Amalia Marie Eklund who was born about 1823 in Sweden and married in Copenhagen, Denmark on 13 April 1851 to Wilhelm Heinrich Weltzien who was born 18 March 1822 in Parchim, Mecklinburg, Germany. They had 4 boys and 1 girl. The girl Catherine Marie Weltzien died at age 3 months in Copenhagen on 29 January 1851. The boys were:
Henry Oskar Weltzien, born about 1849
Karl Friederich Weltzien, born about January 1852
Victor Wilhelm Weltzien, born 28 April 1853
 
Amalia and Henry emigrated with their 3 boys from the port of Hamburg on the ship Howard on 2 Nov 1855, arriving into the port of New York on 24 Dec 1855. They spent some time in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before settling in Cleveland, Ohio. Henry was a baker.
 
Amalia and her husband both died in Cleveland, Ohio in 1866 leaving the boys orphaned. Little oral family history survived. In Victor's obituary his mother's name was said to have been Amalia Stockelburg. Perhaps they confused her last name with where she was from. The records clearly indicate that her last name was Eklund.
 
Any help appreciated.
