Could someone please translate this birth record?
I tried posting this yesterday, but I got a message that I tried to do something I didn't have permission for and couldn't see the post after that. Oops! (Working on learning the ropes here. :) ) This is from West Prussia in the Katholische und Lutherisch Kirchenbücher, 1537-1981. Here is the link: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/sources/viewedit/3L49-L6Y?context . I am interested in the birth record of Gustave Preuss. The index has Anton Zech as the father, but I think it may be a woman, Antonie Zech, who is the baptismal sponsor. Thank you for all your incredible help!

Hello @2460101,
Translation (column headings in bold):
Number: 20.
Place of residence: Dakau. [the word below this is likely "illegitmate"].
Male: "11" [= the eleventh male born in this parish this year].
Register of births and deaths in the year 1861: the widow Ernestine Hillmann [or Stillmann?], née Preuss, on 1 June [1861] at 9:00 pm [delivered] an illegitimate son Gustav Johannes, [who was] baptized on the 16th of the same month. Baptismal sponsor/godmother: Miss Antonie Zedh.
My comment: There is no father listed in this record.
