Did this marriage take place in Schoenebeck?

Hi,

Here is a transcription and translation. The banns for the marriage were put up at Schoenebeck and I see no clue that the marriage did not take place there, supposing the church book is from Schoenebeck?

Unfortunately the military terms are quite uncertain as I have no experience transcribing and translating those.

Kind regards

Hello @hehesani63,

You did a great job interpreting the groom's military unit:

2. Esc. (??) des K. Magdeb. Hus. Reg. No. 10 = 2nd Squadron of the Royal Magdeburg Hussar Regiment No. 10.

@BillRostal:

For more information about this German regiment, see the following link from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10th_%28Magdeburg%29_Hussars#History

Thank you @Robert Seal_1 ,

You know, I never even realized that "no. 10" was there, I was so fixated on the words. As always, two heads are better than one (in Germany we say: "four eyes see more than two").

You're welcome, @hehesani63.

FYI: I can't make out what that other number is in the same column but I think it has more to do with how the scribe is numbering the records or entering information in the parish book. Notice in record 4 that extra number is "4a" and in record 5 that extra number is "5a". I don't believe these "extra" number have anything to do with the military units.

hehesani63 and Robert,

Thanks very much for your help. I had no idea what the information about the groom said.
