Record 5 I believe to be the death record for Magdalena Matthes (born Kress) on 5th June 1731. Can you tell me if it gives the profession of her husband and whether he was still living? Thanks, Karen.

Regarding his profession (you already have that from other reading aids):

Hecker – Wiktionary

de.wiktionary.org

Yes, her husband is still alive. She's mentioned as being an "Eheweib" = wife - --- not as a "Wittib / Witwe" = widow

Not a winemaker then!

O Wow! I have a Johann Leonard Matthes married in 1739 in Bönnigheim to a Maria Magdalena. His father is also a Leonard Matthes from Dörzbach and both father and son are winemakers. I am trying to link this father (Leonard Matthes) to the one in Dörzbach who is married to Magdalena Matthes (nee Kress) who is the subject of this post. If he is a winemaker I think that is a possible result.

Thanks, Karen.
