Translation (English)

Groom: Christoph Ludwig Ferdinand Waßmann, shoemaker and cottager at Halle, born at Halle 9 February 1840, son of the late master shoemaker Wilhelm Waßmann of Halle and his late wife Wilhelmine née K[…]. Bride: Karoline Friederike Luise Gar[b]e of Hunzen, born there 3 May 1843, daughter of the late Kleinkothsasse Konrad Gar[b]e of Hunzen and his late wife Karoline Friederike [Eleonore?] née Klinker[?]. Banns 7 and 14 August at Halle and Hunzen; married 14 August 1870 in the church at Hunzen.

Notes

Corrects the 1874 baptism of their daughter (Bild 28): Schuhmacher, not Uhrmacher; the wife's surname Garbe, not J[…]; Hunzen and 3 May 1843 confirmed.

Open: the groom's mother is Wilhelmine née K[…], dead by 1870; Wilhelm Waßmann's widow in 1862 was Johanne Justine Wilhelmine née Warneke[?], born 1819. Either Wilhelm married twice or one surname reading is wrong; the groom's 1840 Halle baptism would settle it.

Readings to check: the bride's surname (Garbe probable), the groom's mother's surname (K-initial), the bride's mother's third forename and surname. Household key H-3.

Grade: Stated. Cleared; Appendix C.
