I'm looking for the parents of Bendict Eiling. Who can help?

Stephanus Benedictus (Bendict) Eiling or Eyling was born in 1757 in Leer, Horstmar, Germany.

He married [[Schücking-5|Anna Margaretha Schücking (1759-bef.1835)]] in 1780 in Leer, Horstmar.

Together they had child(ren): [[Eiling-12|Bernardus Casparus Eiling (1803-1858)]].

He passed away on September 17, 1810 in Leer, Horstmar.

I think the town is called Laer in Nordrhein-Westfalen and not Leer in Emsland.
Thank you Klaas. I've looked into that. It is indeed Leer Horstmar (Nordrhein Westfalen). And there's another Laer, close to Leer Horstmar i've looked at.

I just looked through the church books of Leer, however I couldn't find him, neither in the baptism nor the marriage books. Are you sure this was his birth place?

I did, however, find the baptism record of his son, Bernardus Casparus Eyling: baptism record Bernardus Casparus Eyling.

Thank you for your help! I'm pretty sure it was Leer, Horstmar. Eiling is a common name still in Ochtrup, close to Leer. The baptism record of Bernardus is very welcome.

Thank you.

Rob
