More horrible writing from Bohemia (German)
« on: Wednesday 02 August 23 10:51 BST (UK) »
Hello,
 Even my German penpal has given up on this one!

 Hope one of you erudite folks can help expand this bridegrooms details. I've got as far as Franz Schott son of Jakob and Katharina nee Wolf both from Beneschau (now Benesov but which one, perhaps central Czechia rather than Benešov nad Ploučnici) His job is kk something Ober something in where?

its house 37 Eulau ( Jilove) onthe left hand page May 25th 1847

Don't worry about the bride, Veronika Jackel, as I have her details. She's had a child by Franz back in 1840. Don't know why it took so long for them to get married!

I found most of it, but still unsure about the place where Franz was working.
Franz Schott
K. K. finanzwa
ch Oberaufse-
her in ...
ehelichen Sohn des
Jakob Schott
Bürgers aus
Beneschau und
dessen Ehegattin
die Katharina
geborne Wolf
aus Beneschau
Berauner
Kreises

He was Finanzwach-Oberaufseher. I'll let you find the right translation.
Regarding the place name: Berauner Kreis points to Beroun, a city about 75 km from Beneschau (central Czechia).

You are a star!

I have just found  his baptism in Benesov central region. Could the place where he was working be Arbesau, now Varvazov in Usti nad Labem ( Aussig region)? So he was an overseer in the revenue or customs department.

Many thanks.

Many thanks.

If we consider the first letter as an A, then it probably is Arbesau. I had been thinking the place started with Ot, then followed by rb... The Otrb.. sounded czech enough for me, but I didn't find a place with a name beginning with that. ;D
So well done of you!
