1829 Atti di Morte - Vincenzo Mulé

[malsbury]

I've attached a scan of Record No. 60 from the 1829 Villalba death records for what I believe to be for Vincenzo Mule', husband of Anna Biondolillo.

Any assistance with the translations of the details would be greatly appreciated. Of specific interest is his age at death, place of birth, parents names and confirmation of marriage to Anna Biondolillo.

Sorry for the image quality. These records were archived two pages to a frame on 16mm films.

Tessa -

Thank you for the quick translation. That looks like the Vincenzo I was looking for.

Just to add to T's translation, Vincenzo was a campiere-fieldworker.

Thomas, Erudita,
"campiere" was not stricly a fieldworker, as I understand this English word.
He rather was a guardian, a man of confidence of the owner, who watched over someone else's properties to prevent damages, thefts, fires:

Thanks, Pippo. I thought it odd that his father was a member of the middle class and that he was a lowly fieldworker. I didn't realize there was a different meaning for this word. Your definition makes more sense in this instance.

Pippo & Erudita-

Thank you both for the addition information and then further clarification. Interestingly, the occupation "campiere" was also recorded for the son (Placido Mule') and grandson (also a Vincenzo Mule') of this Vincenzo Mule'.

This may help explain some of the other skilled non-agricultural jobs the Mule' family held such as seamstresses, properties owners, and "crivellatore", which Erudita had explained was a maker of fine mesh sieves or strainers. These other family occupations make a lot more sense if the family was from the middle class and not a "fieldworker / peasant" family as "campiere" had been previously translated.

Thanks again for all the details you are helping me draw out of my family tree.
