Marriage of Antonino Vona & Leonarda Scaturro 1726

Post by sacesta »

The records from the early 18th century at the Chiesa San Giuliano Martire are a difficult read.

I believe the attached record (bottom left) to be the marriage record of my ancestors Antonio Vona and his bride Leonarda Scaturro. But other than their names and the date of the record (12 Jan 1726?), I'm having difficulty gleaning any information from this record.

Puoi aiutarmi?

Grazie

You have the correct date, Steve, Jan 12, 1726

The banns were on the 10th, 17th, and 24th of Nov (1725) and resulted in no impediments to the marriage being detected.

The groom, Antonino Vona, was the son of Nicola (deceased) and Gaetana Vona (living). They had been spouses of this town and parish when he was alive.

The bride, Leonarda Scaturro, was the daughter of Domenico and Sebastiana/or Sebastiona Scaturro. They were spouses of this town and parish.

Witnesses were Antonino Guastella, the son of deceased ? and Vincenza (Guastella)

The other witness-also an Antonino-was the son of Diego and Brigida (I can't make out his surname; they were of this town and parish.
