Need a little help with this marriage record I know that it took place in 1808 but what day and month is it December? 3? Parents are Antonio Geluso and Theresa (?) and salvatore & Rosa (?) Ferranti. does it say how old they were? where they were born? Sorry for all the questions trying to learn to read these older ones, a lot harder then the forms of the newer ones

You've linked to an index again.

Without looking at the record, I can say that ages would not be indicated nor where they were born (although where they were residing would be). The names would be in Latin but the Italian equivalents would be Vincenzo Geluso (Geloso) and Filippa Ferranti (or Ferrante); Antonio Geluso and Teresa; and Salvatore (or Salvadore) Ferranti and Rosa.

OK, now I can see it. The marriage date was 14 Feb 1808. One correction to the parents' names: Vincenzo's father was Antonino, not Antonio (you can see "Ant" with a superscript "ni" - the "n" in the superscript is how you can distinguish Antonino from Antonio, and similarly for Antonina vs. Antonia).
