Marriage of Vito Mirabella & Paula Giaimo 1761

[sacesta]

This record is very legible, so I'm going to try to decipher this as best as I can. I'm just looking for some verification. Thanks for taking the time to verify this.

This appears to be the marriage record of Vito Mirabella and Paula Giaimo, married on the 12th of April, 1761.

Wedding banns were on the 25th and 29th of March and on the 5th of April with no legitimate impediments.

The reverend Paul Bortiglio performed the ceremony.

Vito's parents are Jacobi (Giacomo? Giacobbe? Jacopo?) and Caterina Rumo? once joined here?

Paula's parents are Eugenio? and Francesca Sottili? once joined here?

I'm guessing that all of the parents were alive at the time of the wedding? I'm not sure what the "h.c. et P" after "olim coniug" means. Once joined (at this parish?)

Witnesses: Vito ?? son of Antonio and Francesca Simone once joined here?

Natale Macaddino? son/daughter? of Lorenzo and Reg (Regina?) Vivona once joined here?

The abbreviation h.c. et p. is huius civitatis et parochia (this town and parish)

The abbreviation for the Latin word for “spouses” can take various forms of the words coniugibus, jugales, jugalibus, jugalium. Often you will see the word “olim” used with this abbreviation. It means “formerly, at one time, or, in other words, when one or both of the spouses was alive.

Paula's father was Gregorio.

The surname of Caterina and the witness Vito is Pumo.

The witness Lorenzo's wife, Rea Vivona

Grazie mille Erudita!

Does that mean that all four parents were deceased at the time of this wedding?

In this record, the fathers of the groom and bride were both deceased but the mothers were not. The priest wrote a small letter "q" in front of the fathers' first names but not in front of the mothers' names. If you go up two records on the page, for the bride Rosa Chiappone, the priest wrote a small letter q in front of both of her parents' first names, so both were deceased. It's just the method this particular priest used to write his records. It may not be like that in different years, or if a different priest or clerk wrote the records in the same year as this document.
