Is there someone who could translate and explain the 2 attached marriage records for me. They appear to be for the same 2 people, same date, but differ somehow. I am a bit confused. Does this have to do with place of origin? It is the entries with the green arrows. Thank you for your help.

    Somehow it has actually to do with the place of origin. The first record (Sigriswil parish) says:

    "23. April Jacob Boss, Jacobs, von und zu Oberhausen Sigriswil

    Susanna Meyer, von und zu Därligen"

    April 23, Jacob Boss, son of Jacob, from and in Oberhausen [place of marriage] Sigriswil

    Susan Meyer, from and in Därligen


    The second data set (which is from the Leissigen parish) is a little more informative:

    März 21, 28 + April 22 Jakob Boss, Jakobs von

    April 18 + zu Sigriswil mit Sigriswil

    Susanna Meier, Peters Toch- 23. April

    ter von und zu Därligen 1841


    [Proclamation Permit Date of marriage]

    March 21, 28 + April 22 Jakob Boss, [son of] Jakob from

    April 18 + in Sigriswil with Sigriswil

    Susanna Meier, [daughter of ] April 23

    Peter from and in Därligen 1841


    The fact that Jakob Boss is supposed to be a native of both Oberhausen (which is in the canton of Thurgau) and Sigriswil initially puzzled me a little. On a topo map I then found a hamlet east of Sigriswil, the name of which the local pastor Germanized 😀:
