Reiner,

If I use the SGGEE version of the Odessa file that is located at 
http://sggee.org/research/PublicDatabases, I also do not see any 
marriages for Julius, but I do see births as follows

Schaerfer 	Wilhelm Friedrich 	1-Oct 	1880 	Romanow l 	Rozyszcze 
Julius 	Caroline 	Roerke 	1897588-2/1880 	353 	1407
Schaerfer 	Reinhold 	29-Jun 	1885 	Kuti 	Rozyszcze 	Julius 	Karoline 
Roeske 	1897692-1/1885 	347 	1324
Schaerfer 	Rudolf 	12-Jul 	1887 	Konti-Bresalup 	Rozyszcze 	Julius 
Caroline 	Roeske 	2380020/1887 	181 	1459
Scherfer 	Erdman 	12-Jun 	1882 	Bresalup 	Rozyszcze 	Julius 	Carolina 
Roeske 	1897596-1/1882 	754 	1101
Scherfer 	Bertha 	7-Dec 	1878 	Bresalup 	Rozyszcze 	Julius 	Caroline 
Borke 	1897588-2/1880 	324 	1054


Note the varying spelling of Julius' surname, and also the last entry 
that shows Caroline's surname as Borke, which is likely an extraction error.

I also see deaths as follows

Schaerfer 	Adolph 	17 Sep 1881 	Rozyszcze 	"Chonti Bresalup, Kr. 
Lutzk" 	Julius 	Roeske 	Caroline 	1897594/1 515 769
Schaerfer 	Wilhelm 	17 Sep 1881 	Rozyszcze "Chonti Bresalup, Kr. Lutzk" 
Julius Roeske Caroline 1897594/1 515 770
