Help! with Latin Marriage Record Translation

[Lili2]

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg49 ... 1811-1.jpg

I am very confused by this marriage record. I can barely read it because of the Latin abbreviations which I dont understand. Can anyone help with the translation?

There are several photos of the same entry some of which include the above marriage entry as sometimes it helps to compare words as they seem to follow a pattern. But Im only interested in the bottom entry dated 7/10/1811.

Does the "q" before all of the parents names indicate that the parents are deceased?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Liliana

I meant to include this photo as well which should include the above entry as well.

Hi Lucap, Thanks that's fantastic! I really appreciate your help with this. Sorry the photo is the best I could do. The ink bleeding really confuses matters.
I could read only the names of Alfio Mudo`(from othe records), Vincenza Currenti and Filippo. I can only surmise the brides mother's name might be Rosaria? or Rosalia? Figuring out her surname is a big help.
Regards, Liliana

Although it's a very odd "R" the brides mother's name could be Rosaria Costa, but it's impossible (for me) to read Mudo for wath concerns Alfio's surname: I read Nodo or, forcing it, Modo.

I understand what you mean re the name Mudo` I only know it to be this name because of other records ie his death record and his daughter's marriage record...plus the marriage index etc. They seem to swap between Modo` and Mudo`.

I was just studying the entry above again and Ive noticed something odd. It says Antonia Rinella was the widow of Giovanni Costa. How strange?? So I looked up the index that I have and noted that in fact Giovanni did marry a Antonia Rinella in 1788. Then I found Giovanni Costa's death record listed in the Death index for 1811.
Is it possible that a mistake was made when the priest wrote the next entry and just copied it from above? Because there is no record of Giovanni Costa marrying anyone else.

This entry puzzles me alot...not only is it hard to read but there seem to be mistakes in the names that are written in it for example in all the other records Ive read about Alfio they record that Alfio married Vincenza Gullo not Vincenza Currenti??? He may have married twice I guess... but I've found no evidence of this. Maybe the priest was having a very bad day.

Not impossible
You can try to check the previous marriage record for Vincenza Currenti (or Gullo) and see wath's the name of her first husband: maybe it can help you to solve the puzzle.

Thanks Lucap I'll keep looking for Vincenza Currenti and Vincenza Gullo. So far I havnt found Vincenza Gullo in the Fiumefreddo records.....only as being the wife of Alfio Mudo` and the mother of Sebastiana Mudo`.
Kind Regards, Liliana
