Marciante in Bivona

Post by gallohjc »

Vincenzo Marciante born in Bivona, Agrigento, Sicilia, 3 May 1821 to Ignazio and Rosalia Vasile. His brother Gaspare born 2 September 1823.

On 24 January 1844 Vincenzo married Antonina Scardulla from Bivona, Agrigento, daughter of Paolo and Carolina Greco. They had a child, Giuseppe, 11 April 1849. Apparently Vincenzo died and Antonina married his brother, Gaspare on 13 January 1850. Have been unable to find death record for Vincenzo. Need assistance.

Giuseppe was born 9 Apr 1849. The father was alive by this date and recorded as living in Bivona.

This couple was still having children into the 1850s.

I think we are looking at two different daughters of Paolo Scardulla; Maria Antonina married Gaspare Marciante, Antonina married Vincenzo Marciante. I will pull up the processetti to check the attached birth records for each marriage.

The one that married Gaspare was born 28 Nov 1828 and was given the name Maria Antonietta:

The one that married Vincenzo was born 10 Sept 1826 and was given the name Antonina:

Since I have them up, the rest of the info from the processetti:

1. Vincenzo Marciante was born 3 May 1821
2. Paolo Scardulla died 23 Oct 1835, age 39, son of Gaspare & Antonina Russo (both deceased)
3. Gaspare Maria Scardulla died 7 Nov 1822, age 57, husband of Antonina Russo Notaro, son of Vincenzo Scardulla & Caterina Concialdo (both deceased)
4. Gaspare Marciante was born 2 Sept 1823
