Ottenbach ZH - official position - Bevölkerungsverzeichniss - 1889 - Sidler - Hans

You may remember " Young" Hans Sidler. Well, I was looking for Verena Grob in the 1889 census and found him on the title page:

Also what is the word between his name and his birth date on his entry in the Bevölkerungsverzeichniss? Just below the title page. It looks like the same word on the title page and on his entry.

Kleinhanß Seidler, Kilchmejer

Chilch-/Kilch- is dialect for Kirch-… / Meier is an administrator - could be at very different levels. Idiotikon describes two situations:

1. Administrator of the church property (but usually only a subordinate assistant to the recipient of the church interest).

2. Head of the parish.

Under the circumstances I tend towards (2).

BTW - 1689 - not 1889.

Correct - again "Kilchmejer".

BTW - I have summarized the Bevölkerungsverzeichnis on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=127939#p127987 (again, please don't post there for the time being), confirming Billeter - with the exception of an obvious typo: Heinrich got married 1700 - not 1800 ;-).
