I have hit a wall on Ann M Henrietta Newhouse mother of Otto Walter, wife of Otto Henry Newhouse. I have her grave information but can’t find her death certificate nor where she was from. How can I get help on getting stuck on finding her info from Massachusetts. Around 1800 birthdate

Her 1894 Massachusetts death registration and other sources are attached to her profile at FamilySearch... I didn't review it all myself, so would recommend verifying

That was info I have on her entered by me. I’m trying to verify her maiden name, where shes from and who her father & mother were. I have a maiden name but have hit a brick wall.

Given the death register information, unless there is an original death certificate in the family, the information in that death register is all you would get if you ordered a death certificate from Malden, Massachusetts. A new one would be created from that register.

From the 1850 census, her first child was born in New York so they may have married there or were married in Germany before immigrating to the USA.

I called to get birth certificate for her but none was found. Ive also searched for marriage record for her to Otto Henry Newhouse. No luck so far.
Since she was likely born in Germany you would need to know where in Germany to look. The 1850 census just says born in Germany. There isn't any indication of when she married Otto.

You might want to look for ship arrivals to see if you can find here there. Finding Otto, also. Since the first child was born in New York, you know she was there. The date of birth of the second child bounds when they left New York. Anyway, New York birth and marriage records are problematic. New York City is better but records are mostly 1855 and more recent. Many New York records aren't online. Some may be online but not indexed.

Looking for immigration records  would be my next step.
