Marriage in 1778.

This pair are the Great Grandparents of Anton of Affing.  Indeed, the latter is named after his grandfather. In truth, I am not sure that the record below is a betrothal or a marriage record.  I did not understand the distinction when I was copying the records.  Either way, the essential information is available.

On the 2d of June, 1778, Frani. Antonius Gnugesser, son of Joannis Georg Gnugesser (colonus in Burg Magerbein) and Maria Anna his wife; marries the honorable Maria Ursula who is the daughter of Joannis Michael Würth.  Johann Michael is a colonus in Burg Magerbein and a widower (Vidua).  Witnesses are Mathias Rauch and several others.

A date is given of 5 Feb 1753 which I interpret to be the birth date of the groom.  This would make him 25 at the marriage.  Hopefully this can be confirmed by further review of the records.

Comments:
We see still another variation in the writing of the name Francis. I remain unclear how the name Johann looks like when it is Latinized. Is it a different abbreviation than would be used for Johannes?   In the records I have looked at so far, there is at least as much variation for Latin Johann as for Francis. I am unable to interpret the added comment on the left with the date 1772.  The date of the record is preceeded by the astrological sign for Mars.

Of course, the great treasure here is the names of the Great-great Grandparents of Anton of Affing.  With continuing luck, I will be able to track them down further.
