1819 Marriage Record Help Needed
What date did this Knecht/Kratz marriage occur? The record was recorded 2 Jan 1819, but I'm guessing the marriage was in December. https://dfg-viewer.de/show?tx_dlf%5Bdouble%5D=0&tx_dlf%5Bid%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.landesarchiv-nrw.de%2Fdigitalisate%2FAbt_Rheinland%2FPA_2104%2F~023%2F02346%2Fmets.xml&tx_dlf%5Bpage%5D=8&cHash=e957343651057f081310fda6398313a9

Hello @Gary Knecht,
In this case the marriage occured on 2 January 1819, and was recorded on the same date.
This is confirmed by the church transcript beginning at the bottom of the first page (last three lines) and continuing on the second page (first three lines) which says: Today I [Pastor Kammerling] joined in marriage the groom and the bride in the presence of the four named witnesses. Then it is dated 2 January 1819 and signed by Pastor Kammerling.

Thanks @Robert Seal_1
I believe the "four named witnesses" are: 1. Daniel Remscheid (Wald); 2. Abraham Kratz (Katternberg); 3. Daniel Loos (Pilghaus); and 4. Abraham Kayser (Pilghaus).
Is there other useful information about any of them? Occupation? Age? Relationship to bride or groom?

There are two sets of witnesses:
Four witnesses witnessed the church marriage.
Four witnesses witnessed the registration of the marriage in the civil register.
Three of the four witnesses are the same in both cases, however the first witness to the church marriage is different from the first witness to the registration of the marriage.
I'll work on this and get back to you on who the witnesses are.
