German Translation of a few words in birth certificate

[wendy]

Hi.

I have a copy of a birth record in German. Through the help of the GGG presentation handouts and some internet "sleuthing", I have been able to translate most of it (I believe correctly). However, there are a few words I cannot read/interpret/translate and I am hoping someone might be able to help. They relate to the father's profession, address in Bockenheim and time of birth (I think).



My interpretation of the text is basically that "the person known as ________________ Philipp Schneider residing in Bockenheim _______________ No 1, of the evangelical (?) religion and his wife Charlotte Schneider, maiden name Gernert, who resides with him in his apartment, on April 27th 1875 ________ and _____________ hour were delivered of a male child with the name Gottfried.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Wendy

Wendy,
          I am not an expert but looking at your post several times I think it may say Damenschneider or dressmaker which would fir with his surname Schneider

Further to me earlier reply which only answered part of your question. Sorry.
I believe the address may be BrocKenheim, kleine Sreedgasse No. 1 which probably needs to be investigated via a map. The second I interpret as Drei Uhr or 3 hours. German baptisms seem to include even the time of day. You will need to check the street name.

I clearly made a typing error when I typed Brockenheim. This should read Bockenheim. From a brief look at Google Earth this seems to be part of Frankfurt though there is another location to the south but it is now called "Bockenheim an der Weinstrasse". It seems to say Sreedgasse.

Thank you, Allan. They (the Schneiders) were a family of tailors and remained so when they came to the US - settled in the LES at first. Eldest son "branched out" and made shoes (then became a shoe salesman). They were from Bockenheim outside of Frankfurt am Mainz. Dressmaker does make sense and your keen eye for translation has helped me so much!
Thank you again for your help!
