Christina Elisabetha Engel and Ludwig Fuhrmann
Christina Elisabetha Engel and Ludwig Fuhrmann appear to have married some time during the records gap. Ludwig was the son of Susanna Elisabetha Korn and Elias Fuhrmann born 25 Feb 1787 and christened in Freinsheim 27 Feb 1787. Like his father, he was a Schlosser, a locksmith or metal worker.
My best guess on Christina Elisabetha's parents and birth date is that she's the daughter of Maria Christina Heck and Johann Werner Engel born 15 Nov 1787 and christened in Freinsheim 16 Nov 1787.
Christina Elisabetha and Ludwig had six children that I know of:
Ludwig Fuhrmann, Schlosser, was one of the three men named as guardians of Jacob Engel's minor children from his first marriage after Jacob died and was buried 07 Jan 1820. Jacob Engel may have been Christina Elisabetha's brother, but he could also have been the siblings' cousin.
Christina Elisabetha Engel died and was buried in Freinsheim 19 Jun 1826. Five months later, on 17 Nov 1826, a man named Johann Ludwig Fuhrmann who married Theresia Raffel in Freinsheim. I'm guessing that this was Christina Elisabetha's widower. Theresia's husband Johann Ludwig died and was buried in Freinsheim 15 Apr 1828.
Theresia Raffel may have then remarried. There's a marriage record for a Theresia Raffel born in 1796 who married Georg Caspar I Diehl, the son of Dorothea Fritz and Johann Michael Diehl born in 1801, in Freinsheim 27 Mar 1833. Their sons Johannes and Carl were born in Erpolzheim in 1836 and 1839 respectively. Georg Caspar died in Erpolzheim 08 Nov 1856. Theresia died in Erpolzheim 04 Jun 1861.
There's also a marriage record for a Theresia Raffel who married Philipp Haass in Freinsheim 28 Dec 1836. However, in her children's christening records she's referred to as Theresia Rassel.
Myself, I suspect that Christina Elisabetha's widower was indeed the Johann Ludwig Fuhrmann who married Theresia Raffel and that after he died, she remarried 27 Mar 1833. The reason is a legal of notice of a licitation (offering for sale or bidding at an auction) published 12 Feb 1833 in the Amts- and Intelligenzblatt des Königlich Bayerischen Rheinkreises. It announces the sale of a two-storey dwelling together with a yard, barn, stable, cellars and outbuildings in front of the Eisentor on am Zwinger (a street in Freinsheim), the whole being worth 1,150 florins. The sale is to take place on 07 Mar 1833 at 1 PM in Freinsheim's community hall.
The sale is to benefit the children of a married couple formerly living in Freinsheim: Ludwig Fuhrman, Schlosser, and Christina Elisabetha née Engel. There are four children listed, all of them resident in Freinsheim:
It makes sense that after Ludwig's death in 1828, his second wife Theresia would have remained in the house to raise her stepdaughters. By 1883 the oldest two daughters were married, the younger two were 16 and 13 years old and Theresia herself was about to remarry. It was time to sell the house.
The two guardians are worth noting. Jacob Pausch was married to Susanna Catharina Fuhrmann, possibly Ludwig's sister Susanna Catharina born 1794. Valentin Fett was married to Elisabetha Engel, although I don't know her exact relationship to Chrstina Elisbetha Engel.
Christina Margaretha Fuhrmann and Peter Simon
Christina Margaretha Fuhrmann married Peter Simon, a cooper, on 07 Feb 1832. Simon wasn't a common surname in Freinsheim. In fact, there were no children christened in Freinsheim under the surname Simon from 1735 until 1817, when Justine Keck and Sebastian Simon's children first appear. Justine and Sebastian were the only couple having children christened in Freinsheim under the surname Simon until 1828, so I would guess that Peter was their son born before 1816.
Christina Margaretha and Peter had seven children born and christened in Freinsheim, of whom one died young:
Christina Margaretha died and was buried in Freinsheim 04 Jul 1863. I don't know what happened to Peter.
Susanna Catharina Fuhrmann and Heinrich III Selzer
Susanna Catharina Fuhrmann married Heinrich III Selzer some time before 1833. Heinrich was the son of Christina Elisabetha Kröther and Ludwig Selzer, apparently born during the records gap. In the 1833 legal document discussed above he's described as a landowner (Gutsbesitzer). However in the 1834 legal document which mentions Susanna Catharina as the granddaughter of Susanna Elisabetha Korn and Elias Fuhrmann, Heinrich is described as a cartwright (Wagner). Of course, there's no reason he couldn't have been both.
Susanna Catharina and Heinrich appear to have had only one daughter, Susanna, christened in Freinsheim 10 Apr 1842. Susanna Catharina died two years later and was buried in Freinsheim 20 Apr 1844. Heinrich then remarried three months later on 30 Jul 1844, his second wife being Catharina Elisabetha Oberholz, the daughter of Anna Eva Vogt and Johannes Oberholz.
Charlotta Fuhrmann and Conrad Reibold
Charlotta Fuhrmann married Conrad Reibold, the son of Margaretha Rasp and Heinrich I Reibold, in Freinsheim on 21 Jul 1840. They had ten children born and christened in Freinsheim, of whom seven died young:
Charlotta died and was buried in Freinsheim 18 Nov 1862. I don't know what happened to Conrad.
Catharina Fuhrmann and Georg Philipp Karr
Catharina Fuhrmann married Georg Philipp Karr, the son of Elisabetha Seltsam and Johannes Karr, in Freinsheim 05 Oct 1841. They had three sons whose christenings were recorded in both Freinsheim and Dackenheim:
I don't have any further information about this family.
