Hello

Attached is a section of the marriage record of Otylia Krüger from 1901. I assume the word in front of her name indicates her status or profession and would appreciate a translation.

Best regards

Michael

Michael,
It is a profession. And by comparing the letters to the other in the text, I think it is 'krawcowa' = dress maker, here presented in a declensioned form 'krawchym". (First letter is a K, compared to K in 'dokumenty'; the second is a R, compared to R in Ernestiny; and no doubt a W in between).

Gilberto, Michael,

It is "krawczyni" so the dialect/archaic word for krawcowa.
