1827, Getaufte eheliche
47. eodem (August 19)
Friedrich Hager, Registerschreiber auf dem hiesigen Königlichem Amte, mit Louise,
geborene Rohlfs ehelichen erzeugte Sohn Christian August Heinrich getauft der den 9ten dieses Monats Morgens
4 Uhr geboren. Gevatter Christian August Heinrich Hager, zu Hannover, Frau Amtsvögtin
Rohlfs und Anna Rohlfs.
Christian August Heinrich, legitimate son of Friedrich Hager, registrar at the local royal office & Louise, née Rohlfs, was born on the 9th of August 1827 at 4 a.m., and baptized on the 19th of August 1827.
Godparents were Christian August Heinrich Hager from Hanover, Madam bailiff Rohlfs and Anna Rohlfs.
I'm not 100% sure how to translate Amtsvögtin. I've chosen bailiff, but a more suitable alternative might be possible.

thank you for replying - now I need to search again because my Christian August Heinrich Hager who was born c1828 (calculated from his marriage certificate (in 1854 in Victoria, Australia and his death certificate in the same place - when he married he gave his father's name as Heinrich (with no mother named ) perhaps she had died (both parents were named for his wife)
-
forgot to say he was born in Flehe, Hanover (from his marriage certifcate)
-
Bear in mind they may not have used their full names, so Friedrich may possibly be Friedrich Heinrich for example. I have just been looking at some baptisms where I know the father was christened Franz Anton, but on his children's baptisms he is just referred to as Anton.

Thank you again to those who have replied with translations and hints. I have now found another similar record (possibly of a sibling of our Christian August Heinrich Hager) Would really appreiciate a translation if possible.

Recently had the attached sent to me in regard to Christian August Heinrich Hager's family who stayed in Germany. Can I impose again please to have them translated when someone had time.

Thank you I did find that entry and have had it translated. When Christian married in 1856 in Australia, he gave his father's name as Heinrich and no name was recorded for his mother, so I have had to widen my search to try and verify his parents. It has been suggested through Rootchat that Friedrich Hager may indeed be Heinrich Hager so I am looking in that direction. It seems that parents names were variously recorded (not always the full name and a different first name for different occasions. Our Christian August Heinrich Hager was commonly known by everyone in Australia as Henry.
