Can I get a little help with some Dutch/German transcription please?

Question

Hello everyone,

I have found a huwelijksbijlagen, or marriage supplement, for a 1828 marriage, here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939K-K8S2-7D?i=1279&cc=1576401

I know that the bride's parents are German, and I am looking for sources for her German side of the tree. I can also see that some of the extracts are in German, and I am wondering if there may be some info on her parents in there?

Just wondering if I can get some help with transcribing it, as some of the handwriting is quite scrawled, and it also doesn't help when it's in another language!

Answer 1

It says:

Actum am Amte Fürstenau, den 24.September 1828.

Es erschien die Wittwe des verstorbenen Heuermanns Hermann Heinrich Tebbenhoff, geborene Margarethe Elisabeth Sodts, aus der Bauerschaft Settrup, hiesigen Amts, und gab freywillig zu vernehmen:

Ihr ältester am 7. August 1790 geborne Sohn Johann Gerhard Tebbenhoff, welcher sich als Kleidermacher in dem Dorfe Schrovesand oh[n]weit Delft im Königreiche der Niederlande aufhalte, sey willens, sich mit der Elisabeth Mass, gebürtig aus Schrovesand, zu verheirathen, und habe sie deshalb um ihre mütterliche Einwilligung gebeten. Da sie nun gegen die erwähnte Heirath ihres Sohnes nichts zu erinnern habe, so wolle sie dazu ihre Erinwilligung hiemit in bester Form Nechtens ertheilen.

Nach geschehener Vorlesung hat die Comparentinn diese Erklärung nochmals in ihrem ganzen Inhalte genehmigt. Actum ut supra in fidem. (unterz[eichnet]) Meyer.

Das vorstehende Abschrift mit dem Original Protocolle wörtlich gleichlautend sey, wird hiemit von Amtswegen beglaubiget. Fürstenau, den 24. September 1828. Königlich Grossbrittannisch Hannöversches Amt. Meyer.

The parts at the beginning and the end I can not read. Looks like dutch.

Given at the office Fürstenau, 24. Sep. 1828

The widow of the late peasant Hermann Heinrich Tebbenhoff, née Margarethe Elisabeth Sodts, from the village Settrup in our district, gave free willingly to the protocol:

Her oldest son Johann Gerhard Tebbenhoff, born on the 7^th of August in 1790, who lives as a tailor/dressmaker in the village of Schrovesand near Delft in the kingdom of the Netherlands, wants to marry Elisabeth Mass, born in Schrovesand, and therefor asked for her motherly blessings. Since she has no objection against this wedding, she now wants to officialy give her consent in the best manner.

After reading it out to her, she again confirmed the content of this statement. Given at the date above. (signed) Meyer

It is certified by the office that this copy is identical to the original protocol.

Thank you so much, Danny!

I can read most of the Dutch, it's the German I need to work on. I'll give more of the German a try tomorrow, and I'll let you know how that goes

Much appreciated

Good night from New Zealand!

Hello again Danny,

I had a go at the remaining German (images 1282-1285) and I can make out some of it, some of the clearer stuff, but I still can't make out all of it! Would you mind giving me a hand with it? Sorry to be a bother!

The remaining images are Dutch, however, and I can make sense of that (with some patience)!

Thank you so much Danny, I really appreciate the help!

Interestingly, but now I see not that surprisingly, the Dutch is the same as the German i.e. the extracts are the same, just in the different languages.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything, e.g. Dutch transcription, I would be happy to return the favour!

Thanks again,

Alex Fransen
