Would like verification of child's age in Archion record

cmillionaire

I was wondering if someone could look up a specific record on Archion to verify a transcription.

Bayerns Archiv -> Dekanat Feuchtwangen -> Breitenau -> Bestattungen 1579-1765

I'm looking for a burial record dated 17 June 1691 for a daughter of Hans Wagemann.

I have this transcription of the record: "D. 17ten Junii ist Hannß Wagemanns, Wirts zu Zischendorf Töchterl. beerdigt worden, aet. 7."

However, I don't know of any 7-year-old daughters that Hans had at this time.

Specifically, could you check the transcription of the age of the child? I'm thinking it's wrong, but I would like to know what it actually is since Hans had two living daughters at this time.

Thanks in advance!

I had a look. The transcription you have seems correct except that aet is alt ("old"). I'm 90% sure the age is 7, if it isn't it must be 1.

A review of the record and comparison of other numbers 1 and 7 in the record showed that the number in your entry for the age is 7, but the text is also cut off/covered in the center fold after the number, so it could be years, months, weeks, days or hours.

I took a look in the baptism book and there seems to be a match for a daughter born the previous November, so about 7 months old.
