Translation Request: 1776 Marriage Record from Sulingen
This request ties in with my recent, earlier, request. This record may be the same groom who perhaps married a sister of the woman he seems to have married in 1780 when he was identified as a widower. However I am having even more troubles transcribing this record. Please help.
My Transcription:
[Entry] 11. Dom. 17 & 18 p. Trinit.
Der Jgl. Hinrich Winkelmann

[??] Friedr. Winkelmann, [??]

Here's my additions in bold to your transcription -
[Entry] 11. Dom. 17 & 18 p. Trinit.
Der Jgl. Henrich Winkelmann
aus dem preuss[ischen] Amts [R??], noch
lebend Friedr. Winkelmanns, Brinck-
sitzer daselbst ehel[icher] Sohn, der diese
letzte 9 Jahre bei Jo Fr Fischern
zu Gr. Lessen gedient hat, wie Fischer
selbst bezeugt, und Jgf. Cathrine
Margrethe Hokemeier aus Groß
Lessen, des noch leb[end] Cord Henr[ich] Hoke-
meier eheliche Tochter.
Copuliert d. 18 Octob.
I couldn't figure out what the Amt is, maybe someone else can interpret the handwriting.
Brinksitzer is a type of poor farmer - see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A4usler (use Google Translate) for more info.

Thanks, @sylviaelchinger1
Would part of the record therefore translate as...
"The young bachelor Henrich Winkelman (of the Prussian District R??), son of the still living Friederich Winkelmann (poor farmer of the same place), who for the last 9 years was a servant of Jo[hann] Fr[iederich] Fischer (testified by Fischer himself)..."

Yes, that will work.

The name of the district that Henrich is from might (or might not) be Raden (Rahden). Rahden isn't very far from Sulingen and may have been part of Prussia at that time.

@JohnsonGreg ... Thanks for the suggestion.
Interestingly, today there is a “Spargelhof Winkelmann” fresh produce/restaurant in Rahden. That adds a bit of circumstantial evidence to support "Rahden" in the parish record.
