The record

Image 144 (written pages 280–281, "1813"→"1814") — priority hits only — MAJOR page

Entry 36 — Priority 6 hit, MAJOR, Standing Rule 1. Village: Linse, 29 December, nachmittags 1 Uhr. Father: Heinrich Brand, jun. ("junior") — a daughter born. Mother: Christiane Grupen(?), of Lardissen(?), alt 25 Jahr. Godparents: Heinrich Möller; Christian Brand, of Linse; Christian Weiker(?), of Hoyer(?); Grupen's wife, of Lardissen. Baptized 1(?) January 1814.

— The "jun." (junior) designation is a genuinely new and useful data point: it implies a "Heinrich Brand sen." also existed at Linse — quite possibly the household head already tracked as Heinrich Christian Brand (Image 129 Entry 20, also married to a Sporleder at Linse) or a separate elder Heinrich. Worth flagging a striking coincidence: the wife here, "Christiane Grupen of Lardissen," shares her given name, maiden name, and home village exactly with the wife recorded for Heinrich Christoph Brunig at Linse two years earlier (Image 122 Entry 34, "Christiane Grupen, of Lardessen/Lurdissen, alt 23 Jahr" in 1811, would be about 25 by late 1813) — this may be the SAME woman, meaning either a scribal inconsistency between "Brunig" and "Brand" as her husband's surname across two entries, or she remarried a second Linse man of a different family within about two years. Recommend checking both entries against the original leaves if the Brunig/Brand distinction at Linse needs to be pinned down precisely.
