Can Anyone Identify the Town, Village, or City in this Old German text?

[Stever32]

Can anyone please assist me in identifying the town, village, or city in the following clip from an Old German document? I suspect it is in the Saxony region of Old Germany. Thanks for any assistance you might provide.

Bit of a shot in the dark, but could it be Meißen?

It could be an Esszet in the middle...

Hi Karen,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure as to the place. The document from which this is from is a marriage record from Wienhausen Lower Saxony. Baptismal records for this union's first two offspring show a slightly different iteration (I think) of the same place (see below), but I can't identify it either.

Hi

i read Moiß (Mois).

He could have been born in Mois and then married in Wienhausen

Thanks for this Dave. That's certainly a possibility. It looks to me that there is another letter present after the "ss" or, "z" in the case of the other two words. Worth a check though.

Lower Saxony is where I live.  And it's a long way away from Saxony.  And even further away from Poland. 

Wienhausen is about an hour away from us. Lovely place with a beautiful monastery where they hold craft fairs. It is (now) part of the district of Celle. I can't find anything in that area with a name which looks remotely like the one in your scan. I'm a bit tired, though - I'll have another look tomorrow.

Next try.

Could it be Moide

Moide is 60 Km from Wienhausen.

Hi Dave,

I don't see a "D" in the word. The only other clue I can offer is an attempt to show the place where this person's wife came from on the off chance that they are from the same general area, wherever that is. I had to cut and paste the word prior to scanning it as it started at the end of one line and ended at the start of another line in the original document. (I apologize for the quality of the image. My computer skills are VERY limited.)

I think the word in post #2 fairly clearly reads Meize, which I would guess is the archaic spelling of Meitze (about 35 km west of Wienhausen).

I have often seen the letter 't' slip in to and out of spellings.
