Help with Latin translation of death record #226 of my 6th great grandfather, Lorenzo Negro (Negri)

Post by jrbak »

Hi,
I am in need of help with the translation of this Latin death record for Lorenzo Negro, my 6th great grandfather. On the left side it reads son of Peter Anthony, however, I can only make out a few words here and there on the document.

Would you be so kind as to translate as much as possible for me. I see May and I believe it is 1714 but I cannot make out the day. I also do not think his father was deceased at this date. Am I correct? I see fu ? Antony Negro but I do not know this correlation?

I appreciate your help so much.

Dear Mmogno,
Thank you so much for the Latin and I believe it says that Lorenzo Negro was about thirty yrs. when he died on 5th of May, 1715 and was given extreme unction. Google said "the sacred oil was strong". I was wondering if you could tell me the words in between Domino and die, please. I would like to know who the Antonio Negro was and I am not certain if it mentions a town or two? I would appreciate it so much.
Thank you so much for all of your help.

Dear Mmogno,
Thank you so very much for your translations. I posted marriage records of my 7th and 8th great grandfathers today and just found a nobilis before the 8th's name. I wonder if this man was related in other towns? We seemed to have relatives in Vercelli so maybe I can check for some towns there. It may not matter though either; more of an observation unless he was related. Thank you again.
