The image is a screen shot from the Latvian Archives via the raduraksti site.

The image has been translated and is linked to with a non-working link from Jewishgen. The translation shows the marriage of my great grandparents, Chaim Moshe Reichman to Sheina Sprintza Toltz in 1875. It is the 1st entry on the supplied image.

The brides maiden name is shown as RINMSKI but it should be TOLTZ. Can someone please verify this translation (either from the Russian or the Yiddish). The groom's father is shown as Hirsh. Can this be verified. Also The grooms father is shown as Khaim-Itzik, but thought it should be Abraham Isaac.

A clearer image of the Russian is shown in Viewmate ID : 95561 and a clearer image of the Yiddish is shown in Viewmate ID : 95562

Thanks very much

I don't see the bride's maiden name at all on .

The groom is Chaim Moshe son of Tzvi Hirsch Reichsman, the bride Scheina Schprintza not previously married, daughter of Avraham Yitskhak (i.e. Abraham Isaac).

There are words I can't make out, but they are not names they could be professions.

Both bride and groom come from a place called Yakobstadt

I think the bottom line may refer to a license[?] from 1874. The month could be one that ends with "ber" -- the day 26.
10/11/2021 11:25 AM To me, the name of bride's father clearly looks to be
Khaim-Itzik
(Russian: line 12, Hebrew: line 5)
10/12/2021 12:03 AM I can't read the Russian.

The Hebrew (see image 95562) is without doubt יצחק (phonetically: Yitskhak in "English" Isaac).
Itsik is one of the common claques for Yitskhak, but that is not what the document says.
