Ficarra Marriage Translation Please

Post by Lili2 »

Hi, I really need help with the translation of this Church Record please. It is the Marriage record of my fourth Great Grandparents (Giuseppe D'Agati and Rosa Pinzone) dated 1801 from the Ficarra Church which was kindly sent to me by the priest there. I can read the names OK but Im confused about some of the terms used and what this means. eg. I am wondering what the word "interrogavi" means? and "nee now"? and "olim"?
Here are two photos of the record:

I appreciate your time and interest, thanks in anticipation. Also please excuse any delays in my responses I live in Australia and therefore I dont get to read my messages until the next day.

Thank you so much Lucap, so it looks like both fathers were deceased. So Im guessing "olim" is like "fu"?
I really appreciate your time, thanks again!
