Thanks, DetEcTive.

I've had one reply by private message so far, and it more or less agreed with another attempt from a different site.

Just to be clear, what I meant to write initially is that the translation is from latin of a baptism record made in Germany in 1776. (It is not a special 'german latin'.) :-D

The issue is now, does the added notation mean that the man who 'confessed' (Nicholaus Schütz) was already married, or did he confess and then marry the girl. (No marriage is found, before or after.)

If no one volunteers, you could contact your nearest Archive. Even though they may not have a German/Latin into English specialist, they may know someone who can help.

Have you shown it to someone who can read Church latin? There may be enough similarities for them to work it out.
