English translation: 1. Father: Waßmann (underlined in the original), Heinrich August Wilhelm, linen-weaver and lodger (Häusling) at Kemnade. Mother: Anna Maria Carolina, née Ritter, 39 years 1 month 17 days old (born 16 December 1804) at Kemnade. The names are properly documented. Birth: the second of February, eight o’clock in the evening. Baptism: the eighteenth of February. Child: (son) Wilhelm Heinrich Theodor. Godparents: 1.

> The mother is fixed to the day: born 16 December 1804 at Kemnade. She is the Anne Marie Caroline of the 1836 baptism and the Anne Marie Caroline named in the 1863 correction to the 1839 entry. Her stated age of thirty-one in January 1836 is a year light against this birth date; the 1844 figure, which the clerk both computes and states, is the one to keep. > > Note: the line Die Namen sind gehörig documentirt is written across the foot of the entry. It appears again at Bild 12 and Bild 13 and is the parish’s own response to the muddle it later corrected in 1863 — from 1843 this clerk verified names against documents and said so on the page.
