Hello @jahofmann,
I am assuming the date written in the left margin next to this record is the correct marriage date as the other date has been crossed out.
Translation:
26 November 1742.
Married by me J. W. R. [Johann Wilhelm Rupp] in front of the church are Johann Sauer, unmarried son, miller, in Hirschaid, and Christina Bar(in)?, likewise unmarried daughter in the same place. Witnesses: George Rauhe? of Drügendorf, and Michael Strigel here.My comments: The officiating cleric's full name comes from the preceding image, right-hand page, about two-thirds of the way down the page where his name is written as: Joanne Wilhelmo Rupp.
Here is the link for Drügendorf from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10379034 Drügendorf is approximately 6 miles east of Hirschaid.
