marriage act help please

Post by dmt1955 »

i cannot give the URL, because antenati site seems to be down.

this is marriage act #98 1906 Ariano irpino

i believe the writing on the bottom has something to do with the groom being mute - unable to speak and cannot read and that his brother angelo is in some way a 'translator' between groom and officials.

I would appreciate confirmation and anything i may have missed.

many thanks,
donna

Confirmed
"Si nota però che le notizie relative alla persona dello sposo e dei suoi genitori, nonché la richiesta suddetta, e così pure la intenzione di voler prendere in moglie Costanzo Concetta, mi sono state, dietro mie domande, comunicate dalla sposo, sordo-muto, che non sa leggere né scrivere, a mezzo di interprete che gli ho deputato nella persona di Lambiase Angelo, suo fratello, di anni ventisei, bracciante, qui residente, al quale ho fatto prima prestare il relativo giuramento a forma di legge."
