Help with translation of Mazzei & Donato family birth and marriage documents

[real763]

I would appreciate some help in translating the following documents for my 3rd great grandparents. Any vital information you can get for them and their parents will help me fill in a few holes.

Following is the birth document for Serafino Mazzei. I believe his birth date is Feb 17, 1810. Father is Giuseppe Mazzei, age 40, shepherd?, from Carlopoli. I think his mother’s name is Rosa Musari or Mussari?? Are you familiar with this surname? I also don’t see her age noted in the document.

Next is the birth document for Elisabetta Donato. I’m having some trouble with the handwriting and not able to translate much other than the fathers name Francesco Donato and her birthdate may be Mar 5, 1814. Mother’s name Rosaria Angotto?? From Caraffa.

These next documents are from the marriage package so I believe the birth records are in there again, but there may be some death records for his parents, which I can see from the marriage document that they were deceased at the time of their marriage. Age at death would be helpful here and, again, just looking for the vitals: names, ages, occupations, etc.

I realize there’s quite a few documents here, but I thought it would be easier to translate them all together rather than posting them one at a time and since they contain some of the same information for both. I really appreciate your help.

Thank you,

They assert that they have been acquainted since they were young and testify to the death of Domenico Mazzei and to the inability to obtain the death act from the parish of the deceased. Therefore we have created the present oral record from the testimony of the future husband and of three undersigned witnesses and of Antonio Iania, who does not know how to write.

Thanks. Just followed up with a little editing and cleanup. The surname of Rosaria Angotto is one I'm not sure of. Sometimes it looks like Angotti, sometimes Augotto.

Yes, I can see that one would be a challenge. You did a fantastic job and I appreciate it.

It definitely starts "An" not "Au". Today the name is spelt Angotti in the town.
