Supplimental Marriage Record

[michaeldi]

Greetings,

I found this record in the supplimental section of a marriage register. It mentions the previous spouses as both were widows. I can understand bits and pieces. Can anyone help me understand the purpose of this record? Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

Michael

Hi Michael,

I just saw these. I'm not fluent in Italian but I can attempt to have a look for you when I get back from work today.

Meanwhile, you may want to have a look at this site. It helps with translations of the acts..

Hi Suanj,

This is really interesting! What situation would a person use imminent danger as a reason to marry? Just curious.

Thanks
