marriage record translation help

Post by poliquie »

I am having a hard time trying to read/translate this because it is not written well...

The record 264 is the marriage record for my Uncel Andrea Mazza and his wife Biondina (Bionda) Ammirato
I think it is for December 16th, 1905

I am trying to figure out the parents of the couple... I think the brides father is Crescenzo Ammirato (deceased) and the grooms father is Leonardo Mazza (deceased), does it gives the mother' names?

Thanks for any help you can give :D

Groom's Parents: yes, deceased Leonardo Mazza and Angela Balbi.

Bride's Parents: yes, Crescenzo Ammirato and Carolina Alesio

Groom was 29, bride was 24

Here's the pubblication, No 273, which is a little clearer: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=1947578

Also, marriage took place on 18 December 1905, not 16th.

That is a big help.... Thank you. It helps to clear up some info. I didnt find the publication any clearer... I am glad you could make it out. It is hard enough trying to decipher another language, but when the hand writing is really bad it makes it worse.

Yes, the script is probably the worst I've seen in a while.

Just to add, Leonardo was a negoziante e Biondina was a casalinga.

I notice that on the Publication there is another person mentioned, a Francesca Ammirato, 30 yo, but I can't quite make out her relationship to Biondina? Maybe it's her sister. Will come back to it later.

Did you mean Andrea was a negoziante? or his father Leonardo?

Yes, I meant to say that Andrea was a negoziante. My fingers typed the wrong name.

I think the word that I wasn't sure about relating to Francesca Ammirato, is mandatario, which I think means that she was there as a representative for Biondina, in the absence of her parents?

That makes sense since they were deceased...

It looks like the mother was still alive. So her surname was actually d'Alesio. It is still found in Torre Del Greco spelled that way today.
