Marriage/ Banns Translation Help

Post by ffusiak »

Can you please help in providing a translation of the Marriage Records for Vito (Di) Como and Giuseppe Laferrera from Gagliano Castelferrato.

As I am trying to determine, “correct” parent and children. THANK YOU !

Marriage Record (Record 17)

Marriage Banns (Record 28)

http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.i ... ewsIndex=0


I identified the following children and translated them myself - may be I did it incorrectly and am I intertwining two families? The progression of Vito’s age and same vicinity domicile (a bigger home for more children ?) – thus I am interpreting this as the same family. Any help / comments would be greatly appreciated.

The children –

Cataldo DiComo (1872) Record 47
Cataldo was born on the 24 Feb 1872 at Strada Grazia, father Vito Como (son of Cataldo) 31 yo; mother Giuseppa Laferrera (daughter of Vincenzo)
The writing under his name states that his surname is Como, not Dicomo.

Death (1875) Record 40 – 2 Jun 1875 at Strada Grazia 15, age 2 months 15 days.

In the marriage #17
Vito is son of Cataldo [Como] and Agata Cacuzza (farmers)
Giuseppa is the daughter of Vincenzo [Laferrera] and Carmela ???? Laferrera.

Marriage Banns #28
Vito di Como is son of Cataldo [di Como] and of Agata Cacuzza, farmers
Giuseppa la Ferrera is the daughter of Vincenzo [la Ferrera] and of Carmela la Ferrera (spelled la Firrera in the record)

In each of the records, Vito has reached the age of majority (I believe that was 25 for a male) and Giuseppa is a minor, so under the age of 21.

Your translations look good, and the naming pattern agrees with the parents of the spouses...
First son - Cataldo
First daughter - Agata
Second son - Vincenzo
Second daughter - Carmela

Tessa -

Thank you.

Does the record give a street / address for the parents? All the children were born on Strada Grazia.

Frank
In the marriage and publication records, their residence is only identified as Gagliano. No address given.

FYI - while reviewing the documents I noticed that the spouses' dates of birth were given. I do not know if you already had these but thought I would pass it along...
Vito - DOB 5 September 1841 (so he was age 29 at the time of the marriage in April)
Giuseppa - DOB 14 October 1852 (this would make her age 18 in April)
