Sophia Walz and Peter Michel
Sophia Walz and Peter Michel married in Freinsheim 19 Dec 1839. She was the daughter of Catharina Wernz and Franz Walz christened in Freinsheim 19 Apr 1818. He was the son of Catharina Hohl and Michael Michel. I can't find a birth record for him, but he'd only have to be three years older than Sophia to have been born during the records gap. They had six children christened in Freinsheim, but three died young:
Sophia died and was buried in Freinsheim 14 Jan 1862.
I don't have any further information on Peter or on Jacob born 1854.
Elisabetha married Georg Ridthaler in Freinsheim 08 May 1869. He was the son of Susanna Margaretha Bayer and Georg Lorenz Ridthaler christened in Freinsheim 15 Jul 1840. I have no further information on this couple.
Franz may or may not be the Franz Michel who married Elisabetha Reibold. Their son Ludwig was born 04 Sep 1872 and christened in Freinsheim 20 Oct 1872.
