English translation

Jacob Friedrich Bauer, single, [brush maker], evangelical, son of the late Michael Bauer, citizen and shoemaker, and Rosina Barbara, born Wirth, born at [Vaihingen] on 16 March 1816, marries Christina Magdalena Rau, single, evangelical, daughter of the late Johann Wendel Rau, citizen and farmer at Enzweihingen, and Friederike, born Büchele, born at Enzweihingen on 13 February 1821.

Notes

Chapter 6 has this record from Ancestry ("page 161", the Ancestry image; the printed spread is 173). New: both fathers were dead by 1843 ("weil."); the groom was born at Vaihingen, not Enzweihingen; the family-register reference I. 108 b. The groom's trade is doubtful in this entry and clear (Bürstenbinder) on the family page.
