Marriage Entry - 19 NOV 1703, Obermoschel

http://www.archion.de/p/04f01b35df/

I believe this is the marriage of my 7th great-grandparents: Johann Wilhelm Luecker (Lucker?) and Henrica Elisabetha Lohner (?).

The only words I can see are "Lieutenant" and maybe the bride was born in Wollstein.

Looking for help with parents, towns, occupation.

Thank you and regards,

Ellen




 
Here`s the text:

Herr Johann Wilhelm Lücker von Altsimmern in der ChurPfaltz
gewesener Lieutenent Venningischen Regiments vndt
Jungfrau Henrica Elisabetha Hr. N Lohners Naßauischen
Oberschultheißen zu Wöllstein Eheliche Tochter, ließen sich nach
beschehener ehelichen Verlöbnüß, den 19ten 9bry. in hiesigem
Pfarrhauß bey Einer honetten Versammlung in Gottes
namen copuliren.

Some remarks:
Herr = honourable official person (in this case lieutenant),
Altsimmern = Simmern/Hunsrück (before 1700 completely destroyed by French troops, so the town was in a process of reconstruction and a new part got built, so here`s the reference to Old Simmern),
ChurPfaltz = part of the country that got reigned by the Palatine Prince Elector in Heidelberg and Mannheim,
Venningen = knights from Baden who had formed a regiment for Kurpfalz,
Jungfrau = virgin, maiden,
Hr. = Herr, N = first name not known,
Nassau = several principalities, mostly in Hassia; Nassau-Weilburg owned a part of Wöllstein (otherwise part of Kurpfalz), so the prince needed a chief tax collector and village mayor (Oberschultheiß) there to get his share,
Verlöbnüß = Verlobung, means they were formally engaged before their marriage,
Pfarrhaus, honette Versammlung = the marriage didn`t took place in the church but in the vicarage with an honourable assembly,

I think the rest should be clear,
Rainer
