Notes

No age and no parents are given for the bride, as in her first marriage at Salzhemmendorf in 1817.

The lines that follow ("des Müllers und Büdners zu Marienhagen Christian Töpjes und der Müllerin Elisabeth Sürien, geboren …, sind Dom. Rogate, den 24. Mai, copulirt") begin the next entry; they are not her parents.

The first husband's forenames read Leopold Conrad Wilhelm here and Wilhelm Conrad Leopold in 1817. Salzhemmendorf's own entry of this marriage: Marriage_Record_Friedrich_Christian_Baehr_Antoinette_Henriette_Wesemann_Salzhemmendorf_1840_Archion_200162_Bild_149.
