Notes. 25 December 1841 was a Saturday, matching "Sonnabend". Born about 16 March 1783 (computed, not a baptism date). No wife named. Identity with the 1824 groom: PROBABLE (name, trade, town). The index line "[Andr.?] 120" is a son of the glazier Johann Nikol Schlötzer (Bild 84), not a wife of Blasius. Image to save: Bild 212, no. 29, and Bild 7 (index, Schlötzer).
