Translation

On 29 April [1794], after betrothal and three proclamations, Bernardus de Schacht, living at Jabbeke, and Helena Kerckhove, living in this parish, contracted marriage, both minors but with the consent of those concerned. Before me and the witnesses Petrus Kerckhove and Anselmus de Schacht, all declaring they could not write; each made his cross. So I attest, D'Hoore, parish priest of Zerkegem. Bernardus was 24, hence 'minor'; Anselmus de Schacht had been his godfather in 1769 (grade A).
