A mysterious character and a couple of checks
For this birth record:
- There is reference to the birth date on 'ii-ten', which I am assuming is the 11th despite the dotted over the ones (she was baptized on the 14th).
- Not sure what the circled character is. In the first instance, it looks like a C, P or B, and no idea what it might mean. It could also be 'he' since the same character appears in the last circled word that should be 'he' in the place name Billigheim.
- Is my interpretation of the second circled word is 'barbierer' for barber -- agreed?
Thanks!

Hello @Tom Randolph
- The dot over the number "1" is typical for old records and is indeed an indicator that this is a number and not just a stroke.
- I would agree that the letter is more or less identical to the "H" in Billigheim. It looks more like a capital "H". It could be the abbreviation of "Herr" which is sometimes found in records for more honorable persons .
- I would agree that the occupation is Barbier (here the genitive form Barbiers)
