1674 Heirat - Güntersberge


Hallo. May I please have translation help with entry #104 - the marriage of Antonius Steinbrecher?

The first wife of my ancestor (Antonius Steinbrecher) died in 1672. I am trying to determine if this is his second marriage. I notice that his age is not stated in the entry (unlike many others) - Perhaps the omission of age was common in the marriages of widows? Thank you for any assistance.

Kind regards,

Ellen (USA)

The record outlines that the groom is "a groom for the second time" - in other words a widower.

Greetings, Vera
 
Addition:

The omission of age has nothing to do with marriages of widowers / widows.
Instead it indicates that the priest didn't have information about the ages of the couple (i.e. because they originated from another parish), or that he simply forgot to record it.
