Need help deciphering one word in marriage record.
I need help reading one word in the fifth column. It says "Johann Bath, <???> Day worker from Klein Lunow". Any ideas what that third word is? Thanks.

Early nineteenth century Mecklenburg - How accurate were people remembering all their given names?
I have an ancestor where his mother's name is Maria Christina Hanna Bath (from his baptism), which also appears on her marriage record. On my ancestor's baptism record, one of the surnames of the sponsors is Plugge. I believe I've found the right Maria's baptism record with mother's maiden name of Plugge. Age, place (small town), father's name, everything seems right except her baptism name was 'Anna Maria Friederica Bath.' Is it possible these are the same person and they just didn't remember all their given names?
