Translation (English)
Nos. 49 and 50. Twins, a boy, August Christian Gottlieb, and a girl, Johanne Dorothea Louise, born 28 December 1846 [at 7 in the morning, interlined], to the burgher and master joiner Heinrich Friedrich Ludwig Hengst and his wife Johanne Louise née Schmidt. Baptized 10 January 1847. The girl's godparents include Johanne Dorothea Sophia Graye[?].
Notes
- The girl is the bride of the 1872 Kemnade marriage (390700, Bild 36), where she is 'Johanne Dorothea Louise, geboren den 28. December 1846 in Bodenwerder', daughter of the Tischlermeister Heinrich Hengst and Louise née Schmidt. Grade: probable, close to confirmed.
- This corrects the earlier reading of the bride as Dorst, born at Oldendorf on 23 December 1846. Printed form; the hand is legible.
- Grade: Probable, close to confirmed (identity with the 1872 bride).
