Wetzikon 1849 Luise Ruegg baptism, Ettenhausen
Wife of Heinrich Jenta, second document.
I know there are Haushaltungsrodel Wetzikon records to 1886 on FamilySearch. Are there places to find Johann Heinrich Jenta's death record, 1878, besides hiring someone to search the Zürich Archives?

(1849) 26. Nov. / 9. Dec.
Parents: Rudolf Rüegg von Emmetschloo s(sesshaft?) in Ettenhausen / Anna Maria Bietenholz.
Child: Luise
Godparents: Heinrich Rüegg, sein(??) Sohn von Emmetschloo, Kupferschmid [copper smith] s(sesshaft?) in Rüti / Frau Anna Barbara Billiter (Billeter) geb. [nee] Isler(?) von Stäfa, wohnhaft in Wetzikon.
Im an a bit unsure about "Heinrich Rüegg, sein(??) Sohn": would the father's son be godfather of the child? In the entry above we have Heinrich Wolf as father and Elisabeth Wolf seine Tochter as godmother. I know from Bern that godparents aged only 13 years occasionally show up. In this case it could be older siblings, possibly from a first marriage of the father. In the case of Hans Rüegg, being a copper smith, he must be considerably older than 13. Have you got more information about Rudolf Rüegg - would he e.g. show up in the Haushaltungsrodel? If I interpret the Billeter record correctly, he didn't research Rüegg any further.
"Are there places to find Johann Heinrich Jenta's death record, 1878, besides hiring someone to search the Zürich Archives?" … possibilities:
1) Contact the Zürich State Archive and ask if they could check this for you: as you know the exact date and can assume Wetzikon as place of death, they might be willing to do this.
2) Ask by "answering" on Jenta von Wetzikon ZH, whether anyone could help.
3) Hire someone to pay the State Archive a visit and look it up for you.
