Would someone please translate these two records. I know they are long. I really appreciate the help.
Not sure if there are two marriage records on the page. I am interested in the marriage of Girolamo DiGiovanna.
Thanks so much.

Re: PLease translate a marriage and death record.
Left column - Marriage promise
July 2 1821 in Sambuca
Groom: Girolamo Di Giovanna 22yo, cowherd, born in Sambuca, son of dec Calogero and of Audienza Ferraro, aged 43
Bride: Audienza (no surname given) aged 15 born in Sambuca parents unknown
Right column - Actual marriage
July 8 1821 in the parish Church
(This document looks like a transcription of the original book register and maybe the clerk who made the transcription was not able to decipher the bride's surname)

Thanks so much for the translations.
Re: PLease translate a marriage and death record.
Here is that Girolamo Di Giovanna in my tree on Ancestry. https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/pe ... 8816/facts
What's interesting about him is that his 1858 death record shows him married to Anna Maria Catalanello, and there were at least 6 children born to Girolamo Di Giovanna and Anna Maria Catalanello in Sambuca starting with Calogero in Sep 1822. They also had a daughter Audenzia in 1833, but that is Girolamo's mother's name, so we can't draw any other conclusions from that.
Either Audenzia died soon after the marriage and Girolamo remarried to Anna Maria (but there are no corresponding death or marriage civil records in Sambuca) or Audenzia and Anna Maria were the same person. The fact that she was a foundling would explain why she had no surname in her marriage record but adopted a surname later on. The difference in given name is why I have them as separate people in my tree at present. She could've changed her given name or the marriage record may have had an error, but we can't tell. Anna Maria was still alive in 1859, but I haven't looked for her death record after that.

Re: PLease translate a marriage and death record.
Thanks for the info. I actually have them as two different people but who knows. Since the son was born the following year it looks like it is the same person.
