Start with where Peter was born, look for his birth, his siblings, and then that will lead you to his parents' marriage.

I see shows Peter's death in 1917. This confirms his birth as Feb 14 1849 in Germany.

- this says he was from "Husum" in Schleswig-Holstein.
You would have to search the parish records for Husum to find out more. These may now be in a German archive.
