Date: Dec 12, 1790
Lucia Ricci, Giovanni Bonetti's wife when she was in life, about 30 years old, from this Parish of Ranocchio, passed away on day 10 at 5pm, and was buried today. I'm not sure about what it says next, as I don't know the customs of the time. As I understand, she was buried in the Church "just because she had just had a baby", but someone more expert can explain this.
She was confessed on Nov 28 and 30 and received the holy viaticum on the same day (30). She received the Last Rites on day 8.

Thank you Pippo. Do you think this could mean that she died in child birth? I had figured she had died early since I was only able to ever find two children in the online archives. It looks like they were only married for about 10 years before she passed.


Thanks!

That's my guess, too.
