Help with translation of burial record from Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Please help by filling in the missing words of my translation of burial record entry #5. The index states that the burial record is for Hans Jürgen Range and gives the name of his wife Anna Maria nee Vick. I think that the index is incorrect and the burial is for Anna Maria nee Vick. The reason is because I think that the birthplace of Hans Jürgen Range is Retschow, Mecklenburg and that does not match ? Grenz in column 5. I found a baptism record that I think is a match for Anna Maria nee Vick which states that the child's name is Anna Maria Dorothea Vick, born 4 Feb 1787, baptism place Kambs u Schwaan Mecklenburg and the mother Maria Vick resides in Lütten Grentz.
Thank you! Debra

Hello @Debra Palmer01
I agree with you that this is the death record for Anna Maria Vick, the widow of the late workman Hans Jurgen Range.
Here is my translation which you can compare with yours. Column headings are in bold.
Heading at the top of the page: Deceased in the Year 1858.
Number: 5.
Month and day of death: 3 March.
Month and day of burial: 7 March.
Name of the deceased Anna Maria [Range], née Vick, widow of the late workman Hans Jurgen Range at Hohenfelde, [she] died at Parkentin. [I rearranged the word order here to make it clear who died.]
Birth place: Kl[ein] Grenz.
Age: 73 years.
Cause of death: Illness | Accident: "Lungenentzündung" = pneumonia. [This is written in the "Illness" column.]
Names of the parents: Parents not alive.
My comment: Here is the link for Klein Grenz from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10985062

That's really helpful to know that the death record is for Anna Maria Range rather than Hans Jurgen Range. Thank you so much for translating the other words in the record and the link to Meyers Gazetteer for Klein Grenz. Debra

You're welcome, @Debra Palmer01. I'm glad I could assist you with this record, which was confusing the way it was written.
