Translation needed for 1779 Burial Record

Brenda P Hayward

This record is for the burial of Hinrich Jungen, 23 November 1779. I cannot read the death date or whether it says how old he was. I think it says he was the son of Harm Jungen and I see the word Bardenhagen which would be his mother's maiden name.

A complete translation or at least the gist of this would be much appreciated, to help me know whether this is the burial of Hinrich Jungen who was born 7 November 1779 to Harm Jungen and Maria Bardenhagen.

This record is from Ancestry: Elbe-Weser Triangle, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1621–1879; Bremervörde > Örel > Taufen, Trauungen, Tote u Konfirmanden 1715-1852 (Image 1960). It is the next-to-last entry on the left side of page 188.

Hello @Brenda P Hayward

This child was born on 20 November 1779 and died on 23 November 1779.

Complete translation:

On the 23rd of November [1779], Hinrich, [son of] Harm Jungen/Junger farmer at Alfstädt [Alfstedt], 3 days old, died, because he was born prematurely on the 20th [of November 1779], and was buried.

Thank you so much for this translation. It is really a big help, and tells me that now I need to find the baptism record for Hinrich born on 20 November 1779 to get the names of both parents. It seems the 7 November birthdate I had for Hinrich is likely not correct.

Thanks again, and have a Happy New Year!
