The Marriage

The Pozden church register holds the record of the 10 Nov 1748 marriage of Jan WOLF, son of Jan WOLF (no location given but record location is Lisky), with Dorothea, daughter of Pavel KLEIN of Hresice:

This marriage would have legalized the birth of their originally illegitimate son Jan WOLF, born 28 May 1745 at Hresice and baptized the following day. The record shows the the child's father as being from Lisky at the time of the baptism:

So we know the Jan WOLF who married Dorota KLEIN was the son of another Jan WOLF and that at the time of the 1745 baptism and 1748 marrige, he was living in Lisky. And it is likely that he was born about 1720-1725.

Candidate Baptisms in the Pozden Register

So, who were the Jan WOLFs baptized in the church at Pozden in the early and mid 1820's?

I have gone through all of the baptims, legitimate and illegitimate, from 1718 to 1755 at Pozden, and there are only these Jan WOLFs in this period.

1720-08-01 at Hresice

Jan Vaclav WOLF, son of Jan WOLF and Katerina- https://ebadatelna.soapraha.cz/d/12926/13

1725-09-02 at Pozden

Jan Michael WOLF, son of Jan Fridrich WOLF and Anna Maria SVOBODA - https://ebadatelna.soapraha.cz/d/12926/28

1725-09-16 at Hresice

Jan Vaclav WOLF, son of Jan WOLF and Rozalia - https://ebadatelna.soapraha.cz/d/12926/28

1726-05-30 at Hresice

Jan WOLF, son of Jakub WOLF and Anna - https://ebadatelna.soapraha.cz/d/12926/30

The 1726 candidate has the wrong father, eliminating his candidacy.

The three towns are very close. Driving from Lisky through Pozden to Hresice is only 2.4 miles. Mapy.cz ( https://en.mapy.cz/zakladni?planovani-trasy&x=13.9204918&y=50.2424896&z=15&rc=9feTZxY799hQOk7y&rs=ward&rs=muni&ri=3315&ri=3705&mrp=%7B%22c%22%3A132%7D&rt=&rt=&xc=%5B%5D ) shows a walking rout from Lisky to Hresice that is just under 2 miles. So the fact that the Jan who married Dorota (from Hresice) was from Lisky at the time of their child and marriage does not lend weight geographically to either the Pozden or Hresice candidates.
