Can't read the town and country
« on: Friday 07 January 22 22:44 GMT (UK) »
One of my ancestor's marriage record seems to show his town and I'm guessing country but I can't read it. I tried to use the links in the forums recommended but the words resulting made no sense.
Here is a picture of the image:

Thank you for any guesses.
Not to lead anyone on, but I believe he came from Alsace or Germany or Austria or similar.

Has it got a red line round it on the right hand page?

Is that a "breve" above the last letter in the 2nd word below "shoemaker"?

I'd say the first word definitely starts with 'Ein..' but can't make out the rest. That word might end in 'gf' which is odd.
