Comment Joop:
Remarkable to find both entries, one in German and one in English. Although it seemed at first that John Giessendanner, after his return from ordination in England, is consistent in using the English language for ongoing entries, this first entry is still in German and made at least 2 years after his return.
The more I
read from the marriages (in English) after his return
from England, the more I get the feeling these entries
are NOT by the hand of the Rev. himself, someone else seems to write his
notes into English and Anglicize them in the process
a. the handwriting is quit different from what we have
seen before
b. names change in a way, which is not understandable if
done by the same person f.i. Wurtzer is now Wartzer, Hugg
is now Hogg,
c. "funny" translating f.i. the late
widow who marries
d. even more convincing is the fact we can see here:
German versions are still practiced by the Rev himself
