Groom: Francesco Giuseppe Domenico Milone, 61, farmer born in Vatolla, a hamlet of Perdifumo. Son of deceased Crescenzo [Milone] and of living Vincenza Gorgione.
Bride: Maria Antonia Francesca Cocozza, 29, farmer born in Vatolla. Daughter of deceased (both) Pasquale [Cocozza] and Angela Maria Santomauro.

Francesco Giuseppe Domenico Milone was found to be previously married and an extract of his wife's death act was presented. His previous wife, Fortunata Cocozza, died on 9 September 1862.
Maria Antnonia Francesca Cocozza was found to be previously married and presented the extract of death of her husband, Costantino Catarozzo, who died 7 January 1862.
