Death record from 1807

[dboyken]

Can someone help me read this burial record?
https://www.archion.de/en/viewer/ch...oom=11&cHash=240e14a08f224703b2d8c90610e0a546

It's at the bottom of the left page.

BALSTER HILLERS. I believe he died on April 3rd but was buried on the 7th. I can read his name, that he is from Hooksiel, and a widower--and it references his wife's death on 23 Oct 1806 (two pages earlier), but I'm not sure about the rest of it.

Thank you!

Danke! I can usually work out the names and dates, but the "extras" are difficult. (The alphabet, the handwriting, and a language I barely know makes details a challenge!)

Interesting that it says "enziger Sohn" because the baptism I have for him shows his parents having several. I wonder if the other boys died? Or if I have the wrong parents altogether?

I know this is 1764 birth is a little older than his death record (saying 40 years in 1807), but it fits with the 1778 Confirmation in St Joost (where he marries in 1794).

It mean,s he was the only living son at the time the record was written. So probably yes, his siblings died earlier. But that should be verified in the death records.

Don't rely on the age specifications in death records. They can be right, but deviations of multiple years are also not uncommon.

Exactly, a few years is entirely reasonable.

Thank you!
