1873 marriage record help

Post by EliseLaRocca »

came across another that has very poor hand writing and i cant seem to make everything out, any help i am very thankful for. it is for Philip Buontempo and Cologera Caronia year 1873 i beleave it states that both lived in Gibellina and that the brides mother is Carmela Ippolita everything else i cant seem to make out. please let me know what you think. this is my great great grandparents marriage record so it means alot to me to be able to extract their parents name from this record to be able to keep going back in my tree. i have added a link to several versions of the same 2 page record in case some are better for you to read then others. on one the record starts at the very bottom of the page and on the other it starts at the very top. thank you again so very much.

Livio, it looks to me like Calogera's father's name was Baldassare. What do you think?

thank you both for all the info. you have her last name in bold, are you thinking it is spelled Corona on the record and not Caronia? i get the Caronia from ship records entering into america and i beleave there was something else that had it spelled the same way. ill try to search for her bearch record now that i have her age at this year and see what i can find and which version it gives, does it happen to state a birth place or a city they resided at before Gibellina? others i have come across do list a birth place or city that was lived in before the present city in the marriage record. i guess since philip's parents where listed as unknown my next step would be to look for a birth record in Gibellina maybe for him for around 22 years before the date of this record and see if i come up with anything. maybe he was left at a church and did not know is parents. i am not sure. he seems to like to keep quiet in my tree, i also can not find a death record for him in america i just know between the 1910 census and 1912 when his wife was listed as a widow that he died, other then that i have no record of death or birth. also there seem to be no other bontempo or buontempo in gibellina in the records i have on microfilm which leads me to think he was not from gibellina, he is proving to be very hard. thank you again for the info. going to get back to work on a few other records i found today and add this information into my tree. :D

I might be wrong but I read Corona, not Caronia.
