Help with 1730 German Baptism

[Jack-a-Lyn]

Hi Rootchatters,

I have a 1730 German baptism which I have tried to translate to see if it relates to my family, however there are a few words that I need help with.

The first image are the words that come after the father's name.
Going by past documents I think it may be the father's profession and religion.  I thought the first word may have been "Engloherr" (Englishman?) but this doesn't seem right as the surname is German - perhaps he was an English man from German decent? The next two words in brackets I cannot work out.

The second image is the mother's maiden name which I cannot read.  The first word in the brackets looks like it may be "Lutherian''. The third word is the same as the second word in the brackets in the first image.

The third image gives the name of the witness/godparent.  It looks like his first name is Peter but I can't work out his surname.  His profession is a soldier if that may help with the profession of the father.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hello,

Taglöhner (Päbstl[iche] Relig[ion]) = day labourer (Catholic)

Day labourer is Tagelöhner in modern German. Päbstliche would normally be spelled Päpstliche. Papst being the Pope.

I can’t be sure of the maiden name either. It would be help to see more, or all, of the text to compare the letters. Your are correct in deciphering Lutherische Religion. In later records, you will see Protestants referred to as evangelisch. The full description being evangelisch-lutherische Religion or Kirche.

Peter’s surname was Strauß.

Thanks heaps Justin.

Unfortunately I was only sent the said baptism which is only 4 lines in length and nothing else so I don't have other records on the page to compare writing with.

I have attached the record which may help.

Regards

For the mother's maiden name, my vote would be for Limpin.

Steve beat me to it.

I can't say that I have come across the surname before, but it does appear to be Limpin.

Thanks Steve and Justin.
