I would appreciate help translating this death certificate and am hoping it will mention how the baby died and if there was a father. Thank you so very much! Shawna Anderson

Hello @ShawnaMertlichAnderson,
Translation:
No. 1349.
Hamburg, on the 11th of May 1889.
Before the undersigned civil registrar appeared today, whose personality [identity] was recognized through a birth certificate, Marie Sophie Elisabeth Lehmker, unmarried servant/maid, residing in Hamburg, Grindelalle [street name] 138, and reported that Emma Martha Lehmker, 1 year, 2 months old, Lutheran religion, residing in Hamburg with her [the informant], born in Hamburg, daughter of the informant, died at Hamburg behind the Strohhause 6 on the 9th of May of the year 1889 in the afternoon at 3:45 pm.
Read aloud, approved, and signed: signed Marie Lehmker.
The Civil Registrar, represented by: signed Niemann.
Certified to be in agreement with the Main Register, Hamburg, on the 11th of May 1889.
The Civil Registrar, represented by: Niemann.
Comments: The father of this child is not named in this death record.
The cause of death for this child is not recorded in this death record, which is very typical with these early civil registration death records.
This death certificate is a copy of the original in the Main Civil Register in Hamburg. Hence the word "signed" before the signatures of both the mother and the registrar -- because these are not original signatures. But the certification is signed by Niemann with his original signature because he is certifying this copy. Also note that because Hamburg was such a large city, the official registrar was often represented by one of his many assistants acting as a proxy on his behalf.
