My translation of the "Promise to Marry" on 9 March 1845:
Antonio De Sanctis, age: 36, profession: peasant farmer, born and lived in Lama, son of Pietro De Sanctis, profession: peasant farmer, lived and died in Lama,died 3 Sept.1841, wife: Rosa Di Falco, peasant farmer. How is Nicola De Sanctis related to Antonio De Sanctis?
Any help in translating the rest would be appreciated. Also, have I made errors in my translation?
