1875 Pubblication No 54: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 44/wX7eD93
I was hoping this would give a bit more info about the respective parents of bride and groom like age and occupation but it doesn’t. Interesting though, because the Pubblication gives Carmela’s father’s name to be Michele Pansini not Lonardo Pansini?
Edit to Add:
I’ve located Carmela’s birth record which confirms that her parents were Michele (not Lonardo) Pansini and Giovanna Modugno. Obviously there is an error on the marriage record. Bottom right corner confirms her 1875 marriage to Sergio Cirilli/o. I looked through the indices 1855-1857 inclusive and this was the only Carmela Pansini I saw.
Birth No 194: Carmela Pansini
Registered Molfetta 18 March 1855, born the same day.

Re: Translate marriage record
You are so welcome, Candida!!! Any time. You are going great guns - you have such a volume of annual indices to go through and some of the script is quite faded - so well done you. Do ask if you ever need any help. I didn't have time earlier to translate Carmela's birth record so here it is:
Birth No 194: Carmela Pansini
Registered Molfetta on 18 March 1855
Appearing before the official was Michele Pansini, the son of Luigi (Pansini), 40 yo, a contadino, living in Strada Termite. He presented a baby girl born from Giovanna Modugno, daughter of Ignazio, his legitimate wife, 30 yo, living herein, and from himself the declarant, details as above. The baby was born on 18 March 1855 at 3 am in his own home, and was given the name of Carmela Pansini. She was baptised in the parish of San Corrado on 19 March 1855.
Bottom right marriage annotation which we already know about: On 2 April 1875, (Act) No 70, in Molfetta, Carmela Pansini, daughter of Michele, married with Sergio Cirillo/i son of Saverio.
BTW: I'm intrigued by the surname "Sgherza". As you trace back it will be interesting to see how it evolved.
Best to you.

I am also intrigued by the surname Sgherza - in my research I have come across many a name but not that one......

Re: Translate marriage record
I can't recall coming across the name Sgherza before either, but apparently it appears in Italia, mainly in the South. I'm very familiar with the word "sgherz/o" though which my parents would use some time to mean "a joke" or sometimes to mean being "light hearted" about something.Candida wrote: 13 Jun 2025, 06:47 Angela, Thank you so much for the translation of the birth record - this is fantastic!

Re: Translate marriage record
Hi,
As you can see I had this marriage record translated a while ago.
Could someone please have another look and see if it mentions the Church that they were married in.
Thank you

Re: Translate marriage record
The daughter was baptized in the Church of San Corrado in Molfetta, probably in her baptism record is stated the church where her parents got married.
Re: Translate marriage record
ok, thanks for that Danip
