Transcription (German)
9\. Linse am 27. Apr. […] hor. 4 vesp. starb Franz Heinr. Brand, […], an einem Fluss in der Brust, und wurde am 30. ej. Dom. Mis. Dom. begraben, seines Alters 70 Jahr und 6 Wochen.
Translation (English)
9\. Linse, on 27 April […] at 4 in the afternoon, died Franz Heinr. Brand, [word not read], of a catarrh of the chest, and was buried on the 30th of the same month, Misericordias Domini Sunday, aged 70 years and 6 weeks.
Notes
Born about March 1705. Misericordias Domini fell on 30 April in 1775 (Easter 16 April), so date and Sunday agree.
The word after his name (Halbmeier?) is unread.
Grade: Stated (draft reading); his identity with the Franz Brand of F41 probable.
Conventions
[ ] editorial addition or expansion; [?] uncertain reading; [...] or […] illegible or outside the crop; [sic] as written. Spelling, capitals and abbreviations follow the register. Draft reading, not yet checked against the image by a second person unless noted.
