I have three questions regarding the attached marriage record.

BillRostal · settembre 21, 2023

1)I am not exactly sure just what the listing of Sundays at the beginning of the record denotes. Is that when banns were posted?

2) The groom was previously a "Quartus" in the local school. Does that mean he taught a certain level? a certain curriculum?

3)Any idea what it means that the bride was weakened?

1) proclamation of the banns were made on these sundays, see below "... von 30 Jahr Proc[lamiert] und am 6ten Aprill ..."

2) Quartus was low level teacher

3) indicator of premarital ****

Re: "geschwächte Braut", i.e., premarital intercourse:

The Note at the end states:

NB: Dieser Mensch hat mit dieser Person vor 5 halb Jahr Ehebruch begangen, des wegen ist er seines Amts entsetzet.

Note: This man committed adultery with this person five and a half years ago, because of which he is deprived of his office.

Thanks to both of you for your answer. It helped to gain a much better understanding of the situation at the time of their marriage.
