There is nothing weird about that: not the occupation is in a different
"set of lettering", but the personal names are in Latin handwriting, all
the other text is in Sütterlin letters, including the living place of
the parents and the remark about the consent. You'll find it in this way
in almost all (German) documents of that time.
You find the "Sch" again on the right hand side as Caspar Thielmanns
occupation is a Schneidermeister.
