Was there ever a place called Passow in Hanover?

[mesenbring]

I'm looking for the ancestors of Conrad Mesenbring, who immigrated to the US on a ship that departed from Bremen and arrived in Philadelphia in 1846.

On his marriage record in 1851, it says that he is from "Passow, Hannover" and his wife is from "Stöckse, Hannover." I found where Stöckse is, but was there ever a place in Hannover called Passow? There is a place in Brandenburg with that name, but I couldn't find one in Hanover.

Since there are a decent number of records of Mesenbring / Mesenbrink last names in places close to Stöckse (e.g. Holtorf and Basse), I am wondering if he was really from one of those places, and maybe the "Passow" part was a mistake?

Sorry, I didn't find a place named Passow near Hannover either...
Maybe someone else who is more familiar with this region will be able to help.

But may I ask you to tell me where this 1851 marriage took place?
By chance I found on this image another marriage I am interested in!

Thanks in advamce.
Kind regards,
Michael

Oh, interesting. The marriage took place in Cook County, Illinois. I found the record on FamilySearch.org.

It was indexed here:

However, I had to dig through the film to find the exact image, and I didn't take a note of what page the image was on.

Thanks!
Found it on image 666.

Perhaps the age on the tombstone is correct and the year of birth in the marriage entry is incorrect. Then this baptism would fit:

Wow, I think that is it! Thank you for pointing that out. I'll have to do some more research to confirm it, but I think we have a match. So it looks like the marriage record had the birthday right but was off by one year on the birth year and must have gotten "Basse" confused with "Passow."

and according to the Genealogical Register there are no further data (marriage, death) about this Conrad Heinrich Ludwig Mesenbrink in the church records of Basse. So he must have moved away in any case.
