Transcript and translation

Uncertain readings are marked [?] or set in brackets; words that could not be read are marked as such. Each transcript is shown as written, with its transcriber’s notes.

Transcription (German, as read)

Hausvater: "Johann Christoph Rau²" [the superscript as on p. 332], "Bürger und Bauer"; born "26 April 1784"; "† 1 April 1857". Copulation "22 July 1810".

Hausmutter: "Catharina Barbara"; born "2g Febr. 1784" [29 Feb 1784]; "† 9 Juni 1845". Her parents: "Hr. Johann Georg [Schmidt], Gerichts-[verwandter]" and "Christina Barbara, geb. [maiden name not legible]". (The "Güntner/Hein" guesses in my first draft are withdrawn; this wife's mother is not the Hein family unless the maiden name is read).

Hausvater's parents: "Mel. Johann Georg Rau, b. u. Metzger in [Enzweihingen]" and "Catharina Barbara, geb. [Hein/Heinin] hier" (the same couple as p. 332).

Johann Wendel's brother. His wife's family (a Gerichtsverwandter Johann Georg [Schmidt]) is a lead, not a link. Pages 330-335 hold no other Rau household (p. 335 is Rauf).
