Translation and transcription Request - Alswede

On entry #20, could you please translate the column for the father of the bride? Thank you!

It might be Heuerl = Heuerling, a hired hand, day laborer.

BTW: what you read as "Sol" is probably Col = Colonist, a farmer. See #19: Col Christian Ludwig...

I see potentially "Herr Gerd Heinrich Schäfer zu Vehlage.

Geneanet has a family tree for this family. It suggests that Marie Ilsabein Schäfer was born 20 April 1788 in Alswede.

I found that baptism entry on Archion. Her father was Gerhard Heinrich Schäfer from Vehlage.

Gerhard Heinrich Schäfer from Vehlage and Marie Ilsabein Gläseherr from Fabbenstedt were married 22 April (or May) 1787.

After looking at the other "father's of the bride", I believe that in many of them the format is Occupation, Name, where from.

I can see several that have "Sol", indicating that they were soldiers. There is also a "tischler" or carpenter. Perhaps someone can figure out what the occupation for Gerd Heinrich Schäfer is?

Thank you so much!
