Help with translation of Marriage Lorenzo Caputo

Post by ItalianbellaSA »

Hi Everyone!

I found the marriage record of my 5xgreat grandparents, Lorenzo Caputo and Marta Pisani. So far this is what I was able to understand:

Marriage Date: Sept. 6, 1818

Groom: Lorenzo Caputo, Age 23, Fisherman, son of Maggione de Andrea Caputo, age 27, fisherman, and Chiara del Vescovo (sp?), age 43. Address: 16 Strada Catecombe, Molfetta

Bride: Marta ____? Pisani, Age 21, daughter of Maggione Michele Pisani, Age 50, fisherman, and Giovanna ______________?, Age 43. Address: 20 Strada Catecombe, Molfetta.

What does Maggione mean before the names of the fathers?

Here is the link:

Thank you in advance for any assistance and for your time.

It is hoped that the research I am doing helps to discover, preserve and celebrate my family history.

Chiara del Vescovo is correct.

Marta's middle name is Maria and is clearer in the index, although it is abbreviated there; the groom's surname is incorrect in the index

figlio maggiore d Andrea-adult son of Andrea
figlia maggiore di Michele-adult daughter of Michele

Giovanna's surname is Mezzina, much clearer in the index
