Notes

> The son named in the Kemnade marriage entry that prompted this search: this baptism is for Karl Ludwig Wilhelm Wesemann (the child's given names are not repeated in the crop of this entry examined, but the marriage entry at Kemnade, Bild 36 Entry 4, gives them in full and matches this birth date exactly). > > The father is styled Müllermeister (master miller) here, at Kirchbrak — not Thran. This is now understood rather than an open puzzle: the family's own established history has him reappearing at Linse in 1852, at his wife's death, recorded as Häusling und Müller zu Linse — landless, but still styled a miller. This entry, together with the 1840 baptism above, fills in the gap between the Thran tenancy and that 1852 record — a period working as a miller at Kirchbrak in the early 1840s, though the record does not say when he left it. The precise dates of the move to Kirchbrak and the move away from it remain unknown. > > The mother's age (32) does not reconcile with the 1840 entry's age (39) for what should be the same woman roughly eighteen months later; treated as a recording error common to these registers rather than a problem with the identification. See the note under Entry 1 above.
