Transcript of Nikolaus Scheuch and Anna Christina Schade's marriage record

The Marriage Record of
Nikolaus Scheuch and Anna Christine Schade
from the Evangelische Kirchenbuch von Tann, Traubuch [Marriage Book], 1848-1849, p. 30, #97
(obtained from microfiche at the Landeskirchliches Archiv der Evangelische Kirche von Kurhessen-Waldeck in Kassel, Germany)




Anna Martha Scheuch was the first wife of George Roediger, son of Johann Tobias Rödiger and Anna Margretha “Gretchen” née Eichenauer. This marriage record belongs to her parents.

I have not yet deciphered some of the text, but will present what I know, and will provide an update if and when the unknown portions can be deciphered. My English translation of the German text is in RED. My best guess will be bracketed with question marks, or if I am unable to make out an entire word I will mark that with an underscore.
The Marriage Book during this time period has a main header and then seven columns with sub-headings. The page from which the marriage record of Nikolaus Scheuch and Anna Christina Schade is taken provides the following information. Note—The seventh column is for subsequent remarks, which in this case is blank so is not included in the table:

 The death date given for Anna Christina Schade on the chart reflects what I believe to be written there. However, the year could be 1880, and the month might possibly be October. See what I had to work with!

  1. From another Baptismal Record where Anna Christina Schade's father shows up as a sponsor, I have deduced that Justus Schade's occupation is not Künster, meaning Artist, as I somewhat timidly suggested in the table above, but rather Küster, meaning Sexton. So his job was to get things ready for Sunday Services and probable take care of the church maintenance.
