In 1814, Johan and his mother moved to Bremen, where Gesche married the elderly widower Albert Wohlers in 1815. One son was born to thge mariage: Heinrich in 1816, given Johann his first half-brother. In his early teens, Johann was apprenticed as a Blechenschlager [''tin metal worker''] and by the time of his marriage at age 30 to Anna Louse Hartmann in 1841, he was listed as a Blechenschlageramtsmeister, or official with the guild. Johann's guild and apprentice records have not yet been identified, but a normal timeline would be for the apprenticeship to begin at age 15 for 7 years, followed by 3-4 years of journeying before a tradesperson would be considered for admission as a master to the guild. By the time of his marriage, Albert Wohlers had died (1829), Gesche had remarried (1830 to Franz Heinrich Carl Kohlwes) and her third child and son had been born (1833 Carl Kohlwes). | In 1814, Johan and his mother moved to Bremen, where Gesche married the elderly widower Albert Wohlers in 1815.
