Hello,
As I explained in my other response, this is the record of one of the banns published before the marriage (hence it states “Zapowiedzi 1” in the margin).

The record is from 20 February 1825. It essentially has all the information on the bride and groom written out again.

The only difference is that near the end it claims both the bride’s parents are deceased: “w Mieście Śniadowie zmarłych szklarzy” = “glaziers deceased in the town of Śniadowo.” This is very confusing because the main marriage record, on the other page, does not mention this; and both records also list ages for the bride’s parents, which would not make sense if they were already deceased.

Comparing the two records, I strongly believe this is a clerical error. In the main record, very similar phrasing is used with regard to the bride’s parents, except that in place of “zmarłych” (deceased), “zamieszkałych” (residing) is used—that is to say, the other record says “glaziers residing in the town of Śniadowo.” That makes much more sense, so perhaps the clerk simply mixed up words in a rush.

(This record also spells the groom’s father’s name “Abraham” rather than “Abram,” but such variations are common, often even within the same document.)
