The spelling of her surname jumps around a bit.

BTW: When you are requesting a translations, could you please write the type of record you want translated i.e Marriage, Birth etc and the name of the person/s that the record belongs to e.g. Death Record: Stefano Camposeo. This way we can see clearly whether the record has been duplicated, whether you have found a record you have been looking for etc. Thanks Julie.

Just out of curiosity, in your experience with these records, was it common to marry at 16 in the 1800s?

Yes, it was, and sometimes even younger. Sometimes young girls (children really) would marry men more than twice their age. (I was totally shocked, and saddened, when I first saw this.) No doubt it happened all over Europe and elsewhere, sadly it's still happening today in some countries.

I hadn't realised it was so recent.

I was 17 when I got married and needed my parents' consent. It didn't last long.

My current partner and love of my life is 14 years older than I am. It doesn't bother me at all, but it does bother him a bit.

I guess the big difference here is that they may not have consented.

One thing that surprises me is the duration of all of these marriages. I hope they were happy.
