Translation Request - Marriage Record
If anyone could assist me with a translation I would appreciate it. I am looking at a marriage record in Fakse, Praesto, Denmark (https://arkivalieronline.rigsarkivet.dk/da/billedviser?epid=21883005#423686,78060147) on line 22 in the middle of the page. There is a marriage listed between Frederik Jensen and Inger Marie Hansdatter. What do the dates on the second line, under each name, mean? I have deduced that it can't be the birth date since the record itself is from 1846, Frederik is 29.5 years old and the date is 11 June 1833 (Frederik would be 13 in 1833). Any help would be appreciated.

The dates under their names are the dates they were vaccinated for smallpox and the name of the person who vaccinated them.

Just as a point of interest. There have been several occasions where I have had a marriage record that had too little information regarding birth place, birth date and parents to be sure who this person was or be able to identify the correct birth record for the person. However taking the vaccination date and place, I would be able to find the vaccination record which usually includes a full birth date and birth place, and at least the father's name, if not both parents' names. That bridge of marriage record - vaccination record - birth record has enabled me to find and to be sure I had the correct birth records for the bride and groom.
