Hi Jean-Michel,

Drevenka József egy 'woben' s 'gehalt' gyermekét egyszerre temettük ...
'woben' is the key but it's not clear what it could be; the rest of the
sentence implies that two burials took place at the same time. Whether the
wife died with the child or József himself depends on the 'woben''s
meaning. Take a good look at that word again. Could it be 'waver'? If the
word(s) are written together the way you spelled it: 'wobensgehalt', it
almost implies a German expression ... possibly died in the womb??
