Here’s the marriage record of the Brimmeyer (spellings vary)-Steinmetz couple which was celebrated in Larochette (Fels)
Marriage 10 Apr 1839 Larochette
Jean Brimmeyer, linen weaver, 27 years, born in Luxembourg (-City) 27 Oct 1811, residing in Tintingen, son of Jean Theodore Brimeyer, linen weaver, and Eva Fischer, residing in Tintingen, present and consenting to the marriage
and
Elisabeth Steinmetz, aged 20 years, born in Meysembourg 8 Jan 1819, illegitimate child of Marie Steinmetz, day laborer, residing in Meysembourg, the mother present and consenting to the marriage
The record does not specify whether it is Tintange (now administratively belonging to Fauvillers, before it was municipality of its own) Belgium, or Tuntange, Canton of Mersch, Luxembourg. However, they could be located in the 1843 census of Tuntange, Luxembourg, which has always been part of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, whereas Tintange was split off as a consequence of the Belgian Revolution 1830-1839 (Treaty of London 1839):
Census 1843 Tuntange
Weaver Brimeyer Pierre b. 30 Dec 1782 Greisch
wife Eva Fischer 22 Sep 1775 Luxembourg
(first name Pierre/ Peter is a mistake, at the bottom of census form it is specified that the census was taken in the dwelling of Brimeyer Theodore)
BTW, the village of Meysembourg is no longer existant. Opressed by lawsuits, foreclosing etc...by the landlord Reuter de Heddesdorf, a vast majority of the inhabitants left Meysembourg in 1846. Most of them emigrated to the United States and settled in Seneca Couny, OH (New Riegel, Alvada)
