Translation help with occupations--another one...

Patty GW

I have some images that are from original FHL films, but locked to me (but available on Ancestry so that link provided). I would like verification of my translations as I think that the occupations (or would it be status?) might not be correct and had no clue what the occupation of the father of the bride was. I was also unable to translate what the column where the parents give permission says (although it looks like a standard answer--and they were able to get married, so probably not any big deal). Here is my citation (with the embedded link to Ancestry) and the jpeg.

Hello Patty,

You did very well with your translation! I have only few additions:

Both the groom and his father are Grundsitzer. I am not quite sure about the exact meaning, but it should probably indicate a farmer with own land.

The bride's father is a Cossath. This word (also written as Kossath or Kossäth) can be translated as cottager, i.e. a farmer or farm worker who owns only a small house and a garden and who must provide services to the land owner.

The entry in the permission column is: Die Eltern haben mündlich eingewilligt = The parents have orally consented.

Thanks so much for your help!
