Help needed with deciphering C19 German script

[piker]

I have just obtained the images of several of my family's baptism, marriage and burial records from a Lutheran Church in Germany in the 19th century.  And they are full of crucial information!  I'm OK with translating German text to English, when I know the words (!), but the old handwriting is hard to read and I have only managed to identify a few names, dates and other words.  Is anyone willing to have an initial look at one of the images (eg. by e-mail, or attachment here, or ..?) and see if they can decipher the script for me?

Thanks in advance .....

You can post them here as attachments - some members are very good at reading old German script, and others of us have learned bits here and there.

But please bear in mind that we're all volunteers and don't like to feel overwhelmed. If you post them all at once we might feel it's too much and pass on to the next message, or do the easy ones and overlook the others. A little at a time and everyone should be happy.

Thank you for your sound advice, Arthur.

I'm attaching just one (baptism) image for now.  I'm particularly keen to know the "descriptions" of the father (col 5) and each of the six godparents (col 7).  German words needed, translation suggestions optional but gratefully received!

For the father, I think it gives his occupation as Stubenmaler (house painter) and something else.

[residence] am Roßmarkt allhier - at Roßmarkt in this place

gebürtig aus Zeitz - native of Zeitz

For the rest, over to others I'm afraid.

One useful new insight for me there, Arthur - thank you!

Let's see what others can suggest.

Dave, that's absolutely fantastic - thank you!!

Only one uncertainty for me in your translations:  the father (FDK) was already known from a later British record to have been a "painter", and as Arthur noted in an earlier post, a Stubenmaler is a house painter. So does your your rendering "Lodger, Dayworker" apply to the second word, which you have read as Einwohner (= inhabitant?)?

Many thanks again.

Thats right
Einwohner someone who lived in = lodger

Thank you, Dave.  I plan to add further images here soon, one by one, and if you are willing to have a bash at any of those too, I shall continue to be extremely grateful!
