Entry No. 44 — Baptism, 23 October / 1 November 1818 (Bodenwerder)

Notes

The clearest-written of the five Wesemann entries in this register. The birth date and Rittmeyer's place of origin are both legible here and were absent from the earlier draft.

Transcription (German)

44\. Am 23ten Oct. des Morgens um 3 Uhr kam Caroline Louise Brandt geb.

Notes

Bild 29 of 335, left page, 1818 no. 44; four lines read at zoom, hand clear. "Bürgers und Lohgerbermeisters" and "nachgelassene Wittwe" are clear. This overrides the earlier reading "Leinenwebermeisters Heinrich Wilhelm Brandt" in the first version above: the trade and forename agree with the 1814 burial (Lohgerbermeister) and the 1807 marriage (Friedrich Wilhelm), so they are PROVEN. Rittmeyer's place word (4 or 5 letters) is not resolved. The 13 October block for this entry is merged below. Grade: STATED.
