Help with marriage record

[jml1991]

Another difficult one for me. After much puzzling, this is what I read, but any help filling in the blanks would be much appreciated:

Marriage record dated 8 Feb 1673 for Domenico lo Bartolo, son of deceased Giacomo and Pasqua (living?) lo Bartolo, and widower of the deceased ___________(Cecilia? la Iacono? to Ippolita _______, daughter of the deceased Stefano and Sigismondo (living?) _______________?

Many thanks!

Can you post a link, please?

The bride's surname should be Renda, found in that area of Sicily

@mmogno-sorry, G. I was on the page with the record and thought I had pasted and copied the url at the top of the page where the record was. The only thing I did was sign out so that my username and password were not visible on the forum. I agree though that posters should be posting the links to their records, if the records are online. If church records, we may even need to consult previous pages to get a date for a particular record. I'll have to search for the record again.

G-the link works if I'm signed into family search and goes directly to the record, which is on the page on the left. I am signing out of familysearch now though.

Just seeing the responses now. Thanks so much for the info on the bride's surname; just when I think I must know every surname from that town, a new one comes up. This is my first encounter with the surname Renda. Thanks so much for posting the link. From now on, I will post the link with all requests.
Thank you!

You need to go back to image 109, top left. I realize the image is crossed out, but there are some answers to your questions there. For one thing, the name of the groom's deceased wife is clearer there. I was sure Cecilia was incorrect, as the last two letters of her name in the image you posted look like "da" and not "la," which they are if you look at image 109. You will also find her surname clearer in that image. Also in that image, the bride's surname is very clear, and is the surname I already mentioned above, and it is also clear that her father is deceased but her mother is still alive, as that the priest wrote the word for living after her mother's first name. Unfortunately the word quondam for deceased does not change form whether it is used for one individual or a couple.

So, please, in the future, copy and paste the url at the top of the page where the record is that you need translated.

Thanks

Thank you very much, Erudita. I really do appreciate your help. I did not even see the crossed out record. In the future I will look for one if the other is illegible. I am still unable to understand the name of the deceased wife: Catabe la Iaguina? I haven't seen a first name like that, and I've searched through indexes on many church files for a similar last name with no results. Although the surname looks like it starts with a capital I, that wouldn't make sense as the "la" would then be l'. I will continue to look (am hoping to find her death record), but if you read it differently, please let me know.

I will be sure to post links from now on, with the link for the above record below. Once again, many thanks for all your help.

FYI, Just found the death record for Domenico's widow, and it looks like her first name was Catalda (hard to read), which I have seen as a surname, but never, before this, as a given name. The record does not include, that I can see, her surname. Adding the link below, for your interest. Thanks again for your help!

Looks like Catalda was only about age 20 when she died. Her surname in the crossed out record was " la Iaquina"-the letter "eye" before before "aquina.". There was a saint named Cataldo - her first name is the female version of that saint's name. He certainly didn't waste any time remarrying!

[jml1991]

Hah, no he didn't. And get this: Catalda died on 2 Jan 1673, and Domenico (my 7th great-grand) married his second wife, Ippolita, on 8 Feb 1673. Ippolita died several months later on 13 Oct 1673, and he married Caterina (my 7th great-grand) just 3 months later on 7 Jan 1674. Life was tough in those days: kids to feed, work to be done, long periods of mourning a luxury few could afford. Gotta love this stuff for the snapshot of life in rural Sicily in the 1600s.
Thanks much for all your help!
