Hello Ellen,

it is quite a long text with many words I do not know in English.
So I do not give it to you word by word but I try to give you the important information:

Ernst WULFF was 23 years old. His father who already was dead was the miller Mr. Michael WULFF. His mother, Margaretha STECKLENBERG, who died nearly 7 years before has been a sister of Hieronymus STECKLENBERG.
The bride was Anna-Magdalena SCHMALBAUCH, 19 years old and the daughter of the piper and Brandy-brewer. Her mother Maria SPEISER (?) was born at Quedlinburg.
The engagement happened in the house of the bride's father before Shrove Tuesday.
The bystanders (?) of the husband have been the school-director Johann Friedrich VOGDT and his brother Michael WULFF; the bystanders (?) of the bride have been the judge Nicolai POPPENROTH and her brother Tobias SCHMALBAUCH.

Greetings!

Thank you for replying. Some things do not translate well enough for me to understand.

1. Is it Margaretha Stecklenberge who has been dead for almost 7 years? I do not understand the inclusion: Hieronymi Stecklenberges sehl. Schwester

2. Was Maria Speiser born in Quedlinburg? Or was her daughter (the bride - Anna-Magdalena Schmalbauch) born in Quedlinburg?

Thank you for any additional help.

Kind regards,

Ellen

It is not clear, who was 7 years dead. It is more possible, that Margaretha was 7 years dead. But Hieronymus is also dead.


Die Mutter war Margaretha Stecklenberge, Hieronymi
Stecklenberges sehl. Schwester, war damals fast 7 Jahr todt gewesen.

The mother was Margaretha Stecklenberge, sister of the
deceased Hieronymus Stecklenberge, has been dead nearly 7 years

[Anna Sara Weingart]

But there is an important thing: the word abbrevation "sehl." means "deceased", and Margaretha Stecklenberge is NOT described as "sehl."
Only Michael Wulff and Hieronymus Stecklenberge are "sehl." (deceased)
The problem we have is, that the marriage entry is written in past tense.
The using of past tense suggests, that the groom's mother could have been deceased. But I believe now, she isn't !!
