Johann Schochenmajer married on August 9, 1718

Hello again,

I'm still searching for the oldest Schochenmaiers throughout FamilySearch. Last month I stumbled upon a marriage certificate of the 18th century. Therefrom you may get to know that Johann Schochenmajer married to Maria Christina Dobler on the 9th August 1718.

Here it is:


As soon as I found this Johann, I remembered about the post on the second oldest Schochenmaiers where I presented one Johann Schochenmajer who had got a daughter Johanna Christina Schochenmajer. I am still thinking if these two Johanns could be the same person. 

1. Both of them have the same family name spelling. 

2. The wife's name of the first Johann is Maria Christina Dobler. The wife's name of the second Johann is Anna Maria, without any maid last name. Earlier it happened that the first triple name of Anna Maria Christina could be recorded as Maria Christina or Anna Maria. But I'm not sure about it. 

3. The year of marriage for the first couple is 1718, while Johanna Christina Schochenmajer had been born in 1716. On the one hand, these two dates are very close to each other. However, on the other hand, it means two years gap before getting married. The latter may signify that if it was the same Johann, then  he could marry for the second time. 

4. Unfortunately, there is no place-name in the marriage certificate. But, according to the birth certificate of Johanna Christina Schochenmajer, she was born in Kornwestheim - to the north by Stuttgart. Could it be valid for the first Johann? 

5. The wife's maid name of Johann Schochenmajer was Maria Christina Dobler. Her father was called as Johann Conrad Dobler. A very short research on this family name allows to affirm that such a surname was historically to be found throughout the 17th and 18th century to the east of Stuttgart (for example, in Waiblingen).  

 

Well, almost the same time and the same area. It's very possible that those two Johann are the one person only who got married twice. 

If so, we come up to the overlapping of archive documents and get more information on our ancestry.
