I don't know if this will help -birth Act for Domenico, son of Pietro and Catterina Mecca.

Just wanted to add that amongst the routine allegati (attachments) that you would find, were the Death Extracts of both the father and paternal grandfather of the bride.

Edit to Add:

Marriage Attachments for this marriage start here: http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... 2.jpg.html
I would use these as a guide to help you locate the originals as sometimes there is error in the transcriptions.

Thanks, Angela - I would not have figured out Tolla. Also didn't know about the allegati notes, usually I am digging through older records.

You are very welcome.

The allegati are great, also called "Processetti". They are basically the documents required in order for a marriage to take place e.g. birth records of prospective bride and groom, death records of any prior spouses where applicable, death records of respective parents where applicable, etc.

The only catch with finding the correct allegati is that often they are completely out of order, but when there is a cover page, the number on the cover page relates to the number of the Marriage Act (as can be sen on the cover page I posted here - No 93 - Marriage Act No 93).
