Hello Tia,

could it be that your Franz Lange was the oldest son in this family?
In this case this could be his parents:

marriage on 5.Sept.1820 in Damme:
- Franz Lange to Catharina Maria Kemphues,
lived and worked by farmer Lange in Damme-Dümmerlohausen (close to Rüschendorf)
Wittnesses: Christopher Lange and Carl Westendorf

Maybe Father David have more information, if not I can check more.

Sincerely,
Werner Honkomp
