Help finding locations
I have attached a marriage record from the Catholic Church in Solothurn, dated February 22, 1762 (I can post the entire image if needed). I need help identifying some of the locations referenced in the record. I have marked each location, or what I believe to be a location, with a red number.
Number 1, I believe to be Hombrechtikon in Canton Zurich, based on other records of this family.
Number 2, I believe to be Neuendorf in Canton Solothurn.
Number 4, Is this Kappel (Solothurn)?
Numbers 3,5 are the locations I can't positively identify. I've checked ortsnamen.ch with multiple variations, but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

- According to Wikipedia, Hombrechtikon is first mentioned in 1200 as Humbrechtigkon. In the record, I see Umbrechtigen, which fits very nicely with it being Hombrechtikon.
- Neuwendorff is a logical variation of Neuendorf.
- I see Olta; http://www.columbia.edu/acis/ets/Graesse/orblato.html lists the following: "Olita, 1. Olten, St., Schweiz (Solothurn); auch [also] Olta. ---2. Olite, St., Spanien (Navarra); auch [also] Olintis." So, Olta is likely referring to Olten.
- Capel is a logical variation of Kappel.
- I see Huoperstorf. This is likely referring to Hubersdorf.

Thank you very much for the information. For (3), I was reading "Octa" or "Ocla", but see that Olta (Olten) makes more sense now, and it's in the vicinity of Kappel and Neuendorf.
