Translation (English)
Left page: Catharina Margaretha, Caspar Claproth's wife, a sponsor (the child Anna Margret). Right page: on 26 October [1725] Caspar Claproth had a child baptized, born 23 October 1725; sponsors partly read; the child Ilse [or Elisabeth] Cathrin[…].
Notes
23 October 1725 is forty weeks after the marriage of 16 January 1725 (Caspar Clapr[oth] × Cathrin Margreth Warmann). No Catharina Margaretha Wasman is a sponsor after March 1724. That the bride is Thomas Wasman's daughter of 1699: POSSIBLE. The sponsor "Paul We[…]s Frau" is not read as Wasmann. Grade: STATED (the pages read); POSSIBLE (the identification).
