What I'm understanding is that, at the time of the marriage in 1820, Vincenzo, the bride Francesca's father, has been deceased for about 20 years and died in Vicaria (a district) of Naples. Of course, the estimation may be off, as the bride was 16 when she married in 1820, but her baptism record has the year written out as 1801 but numerically it says 1804. So, he was probably still alive in the early part of whichever year Francesca was born, since she wasn’t born until the middle of Sept. What has me puzzled though is that the record seems to also state that, at the time of his death, he was married to a deceased Nicola Antonese (sp??) but then it mentions his wife, Maria Palombo, mother of Francesca. Since Maria Palombo was alive in 1820, when Francesca married, if Vincenzo did have another wife, it would have been prior to his marriage to Maria Palombo.

Hopefully, someone else will get a better read on the latter part of this record.

Io capirei così: Maria Palumbo, madre di Francesca, quando sposò Nicola Antonazzi (in seconde nozze), dovè esibire la fede di morte del primo marito (Vincenzo Paliotta figlio del fu Martino e padre di Francesca) che era deceduto a Vicaria in Napoli. Per questo il curato di Santa Maria Maggiore può dichiarare con certa scienza che Vincenzo è effettivamente morto.

Thanks G. Your transcription makes perfect sense. I could see that Nicola was masculine which had me even more confused. Always happy you are around to correct my mistakes.
