Hi Ed:
With all the comments about the posibility of so many different
spellings, I did a wild card check on Castle Garden using I* Noh* and
got the following:
[1]First name [2]Last name [3]Occupation [4]Age [5]Sex [6]Arrived
[7]Origin [8]Ship
IGNACE [9]NOHHERR CHILD, YOUNGSTER 9 M 5 Jan 1848 GERMANY SAINT
NICOLAS
The dates are close, but the origin is simply Germany. I am
betting that the spelling here is incorrect and simply spells out what
the writer thought it might be.
Good luck,
Gale

Top of shiplist for St. Nicholas gives Baden as residence on the page the Nohherr/Hofherr family is listed. There is no other locality listed on this page, though the page looks to have been torn or damaged about the area the family begins. The destination at top of page appears to list Michigan.
