[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Profession "sztelman " - 1842 Polish transcribed Marriage Record

[Rose Ingram]

Gilda,

Could "sztelman" be stelmach = cart maker or wheelmaker.
Could Likory be Sikorz - about 12 Kms NW of Plock.
As for dates, I have always used the second date (Gregorian calendar date) 
if a double date is shown.   I believe the clergy were reluctant to change, 
so they included both date.
