What are these words on this index?
Next to each of the head's names is a word then the marriage date, I'm thinking it's their occupation. Could you please tell me what the words are for the two Marx Ferdinand Liedl's?
This one is last one bottom right
And this is one left side, 2nd one from the top
Thank you!

Hello @T.Kobus,
That word is "Steinmetz" = stone mason.

@Robert Seal_1 Thank you, on the 2nd page, the 2nd entry on the left for Marx, it has a word after Steinmetz, do you know what that word is? Is it widower?

Hello @T.Kobus,
I am unable to decipher that word but I don't think it's widower.

The handwriting is really amazing and precise. Unfortunately I cannot enlarge the picture enough to get a good enough read.

Sorry, I forgot to include the link. Maybe you can enlarge it now.

Hello Tina,
With the link you provided I agree with @JohnsonGreg that the word appears to be "Barbier" = barber.
Stone mason and barber require a rather unique combination of skills.

@JohnsonGreg @Robert Seal_1 Thank you, it does seem to be an unlikely pairing of skills. 😂
