The date is 15 November 1625.
The other numbers are a serial number.
Den 15e November 1625
number 6
Claes Jansz plateelbacker, jongeselle, wonende in de
Cruystraet
Ariaentgen Jans, jongedochter, wonende opte beestenmarct.
This record concerns Claes Jansz (potter) and Ariaantge Jansdr and their marriage.
Partly the record says the marriage was 15 Nov? and part says 7 Dec 1625.
The register also states 'marginal note where marriage performed or where certificate issued'.
I can't see any information on the above, but I have a feeling this couple may be Catholic, hence why they're not recorded in Delft old church for marriages.
This is the URL that should lead to the right entry (No 6).
Thanks for any help unravelling this mystery.

Some additional info: the registration you referred to above, Anne, was the registration of their notice of marriage ('ondertrouw') before the magistrate. Remarkably, they also did so before the church authorities on 30 November, after which they married a week later, on 7 December, in church. See https://hdl.handle.net/21.12115/NL-DtAD20586073 and the image attached (3rd from the top). The registration does not contain any further info on the engaged apart from the info already mentioned in the earlier registration.
Sorry, 4th from top
Dear Geert and Rene
Thank you both very much for all the information.
That explains why the record said November and December for the wedding date.
Do either of you know why a couple would register their wedding both before the magistrate and also before the church? Could it be that one or both of them were not citizens of Delft?
warmest best wishes to you both.
Anne
