Marriage Translation - Kylma
Would someone be able to help with this translation and fill in what I missed? Thank you!
Record is 2nd on the right: https://ebadatelna.soapraha.cz/d/11593/28
Date: Oct. 16, 1798
House No.: 131
Groom: Waclaw Kymla – sauhed?...? Catholic, age 50, widow?
Bride: Anna ? Jozefa Kalini - ? House No. 190, Catholic, age 24, single?
Smedtn? : not sure what this header is or what is written in this column. Are these the witnesses? Waclaw & Jozef
Can you make out what it says at the bottom with the numbers? I’m guessing the last part says they were married by Chaplain Xavier Anton Tischler.

An archaic meaning of soused/saused is landowner/house owner meaning a farmer who also owned the house, not neighbor. In this context, with it being an occupation, I would translate it that way instead.

@Mckenna Cooper Thank you. Would you say it's common that most farmers owned their house on their property at this time?

Essentially yes, even peasants could have owned a small piece of land. The term soused is broad, so it's hard to tell which type of farmer they were referring to, though I would guess it's probably the equivalent of a sedlák or chalupnik, since it says he belonged to an estate (poddany). A gruntovnik was a large landowner, like the owner of an estate with serfs, then there is hospodář, a self-sustaining farmer. The most common term in Czech was sedlák (farmer with a large piece of land), but there are also other terms for farmers based on the amount of land they owned: půlláník held half a lán of land, čtvrtláník was a quarter of a lán land holder. Then a chalupnik is the equivalent of a cotter/cottager in English who would have owned their house but less than an eighth lán of land, and then there was a podruh (farm laborer), a peasant who didn't own any land. All of these people owned some land except the farm laborers. Probably more detail than you needed, but there you go!

Thank you, that is incredibly helpful. Based on looking at the land maps, their house is in the center of town with enough land to have a garden.

@ccr1107 Ah, then he was likely a chalupnik then.
