I am only interested in the highlighted section of the document. I know that this is a marriage certificate between Schloime Schiffres and Beile Stenzler, and I can read the dates. What I can't read is the words after the names. If this gives the profession of Schloime, I would like to know it. If it gives his place of birth, I would like to know it very much. Also I can't read the last column at all. Thank you very much in advance

Hello,
Here is the other information relevant to you from the record.

The groom, Schloime Schiffres, was born in Sniatyn, he is a furrier (the occupation is misspelled), residing at Radautz 1680 (presumably house number); and he is the son of Hersch and Ester Malke Schiffres, tailors in Sniatyn.

The bride, Beile Stenzler, was from Radautz; and she is the daughter of Schaje and Ettel Stenzler in Radautz.

The rabbi who performed the marriage was Isak Kunstadt.

The witnesses were Eisig Brecher and Salomon Schetz[?]

The annotation in the far right column appears to be a statement from the groom naming the children born to him and Beile prior to the marriage (a common situation for Jews married only under religious ceremony) for purposes of legitimizing them. The children are Ester Malke, born in 1883[?]; Schaje Moses, born in 1887; Israel Hersch, born in 1889; Sofie, born in 1891; Taube Ruchel, born in 1894; and Sore Rifke, born in 1896.
