German transcription/translation help

Question

Hello:

Hoping that someone can help me with my newly discovered 4th great grandparents and interpreting their marriage record. I know it's for Gerhard Henrich Schweer and Gesina Maria Brüggeman, but hoping some of the other words I'm having a hard time deciphering will give me an occupation, birth location or other information. I think I'm seeing possibly Beesten for Gesina and Varenrode for Gerhard? Or I have stared at it so long I am now blind. 

Any help appreciated!

Answer 1

Hi - that's what I read:

D. 19ten, 27ten März und d. 2ten [April] ist der Eigenwohner? u. Wittwer Gerd Hend. Schweer aus Varenrode mit Gesina Maria Bräggemann [Brüggemann?] aus Beesten ohne Einspruch proclamiert, und d. 4ten kopulirt. Zeugen sind Cl. Frerich, u. Pet. Cramer.

Hope that helps - kind regards!

(So the marriage proclamation - without any protest against it - was on three Sundays in March and April, Gerd Hend[rik, derich] from Varenrode was already widowed when he married Gesina Maria from Beesten, and the witnesses were Cl. Frerich and Peter Cramer)

I read the witnesses differently: Cl. Frelich und Joh. Cramer.

Hi, what looks like an "l" in your reading "Frelich" is just the subarc of the h of "Einspruch" in the line above. And in the next entry, where both are also listed as witnesses, Frerich can be read quite clearly and "P. Cramer" makes it clear that this is indeed a "P" and not a somewhat curmudgeonly "J", i.e. "Joh".
