In 19th-century German church records:

Individuals were often identified by village and house number associated with the head of household — usually the father.
This applied to both deceased and living fathers, and often included professions (like "Leibzüchter") or inheritance status (like "Anerbe").
Even if the son or daughter still lived at that house, the address is still formally associated with the father in these records.

What was a Taglöhner?

A Taglöhner was an agricultural laborer who was paid on a daily basis, who likely worked under a contract.

This was a very common status in rural German territories like Schaumburg-Lippe, especially during population growth in the early 1800s, when there were too many people and too little land to go around.
