Please translate date of marriage, ages and places of birth for the bride and groom, and the occupation of groom. Also who are the parents, what are their ages and what is the occupation of the father.

Brian,

I'll take a stab at this - I do a few older ViewMate postings that didn't receive responses now and then, just to keep in practice. Keep in mind that the Polish marriage records are difficult because 1) they are quite verbose and repetitive, and 2) the names are heavily declined (different endings for different grammatical positions).

Groom - Wolf CYPES, age 21, "laborer," born & resides here, parents married couple Todrys CYPES, laborer, and Cypa [read Yiddish Tsipa] daughter of Abram MOSZKOWICZ.

Bride - maiden Sorka [diminutive of Sara or Sora?] SZEWE, age 22, born and residing in Sejne, parents married couple Mowsze SZEWE and Jankiel ABRAMOWICZ, residing in Sejne.

Marriage recorded - 17 Dec 1849
Marriage performed - 17 Dec 1849 (today)

That about covers it. Parents are not listed by age, and no occupation given for the bride's father that I can see.

Hope this helps.
