This is the 1857 death record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for my fourth-great-grandmother. JRI-Poland lists the following information from this record:

Deceased: Bayla GROTSZTEYN;
Date: 11 October 1857 (I assume this is the Gregorian date);
Age: 50;
Husband: Rubin GROTSZTEYN;
Witness: Jozef HERC, aged 21.

I don’t need a full translation, but, since this is a particularly important record for me, I’d be grateful if someone could:

1) Check whether all the details listed above are correct; and
2) Tell me any other details from the record, such as her parents’ names, children’s names, any other witnesses, family connections (I believe Jozef HERC is her nephew), occupations, residences, and birth places.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.
