2/4/2026 10:02 PM The last *row* is untranslatable, it is the bride's father's surname.
A transcription of it reads: Klor.
2/4/2026 10:05 PM I should add that this is a transcription of the Hebrew.
2/5/2026 10:22 AM Record no. 43, translated from Hebrew:

The groom previously unmarried from the community of Vabilnik Eli' son of R' Shlomo Sh--- with the maiden Freida Reiza daughter of Tzvi Klor.

[Comments]
Eli' means his name was something like Eliya or Eliyahu and they didn't want to write letters that are part of the Lord's name.
The word / name after Shlomo definitely starts with Sha. I can't make out the rest of it, it seems to have been overwritten.
