Grandfather's Death Record in Marriage Package

[darkerhorse]

The following paragraph comes from this website:
https://family-tree-advice.blogspot.com ... dding.html

"Third comes "Matrimoni, processetti"—my favorite! This wedding packet can contain many pages. It starts with a birth record for the bride and groom. If either is a widow, you get the deceased spouse's death record. Then there is a death record for any of their parents who have died. This, of course, can tell you the names of the bride or groom's grandparents. If the father of the bride or groom has died, and their grandfather is not alive to give his permission for the marriage, then you'll also see the grandfather's death record."

Has anyone ever seen a grandfather's death record in a marriage processetti or marriage allegati? I haven't, at least not in Sicily. Should I keep looking or forget it?

Yes, quite often.

Here are some earlier posts relating to the death act of the "avo paterno"

I have made some.very good progress with this myself!
At least in the area I research, during Napoleonic registration, it was quite common to get the death records of the parents and both grandparents. I have seen one that had the death records of the grooms parents, and both of his sets of grandmother's (although this far back the women's maiden names were omitted.)
