Notes

The surname, the forenames, "geb. Brand" and the husband's name and trade are clear; the days and the cause are doubtful. The age fits her birth at Linse on 21 April 1815 (F262) to the day: 25 years, 2 months, 24 days to 15 July 1840. She is George's mother's sister, married at Linse on 29 November 1838; she died one year and seven months later. Consequence: her widower is no longer the likely "Onkel" of the 1860 file. Grade: STATED (screen draft; days doubtful).
