The 1861 civil
record of the
marriage promise reproduced below, for my paternal
great-grandparents Gaetano Coniglio and Maria Carmela
Calabrese, covers four pages. The form is in two columns, on the
left showing the Record of the Solemn Promise to
celebrate matrimony, while the right-hand column is
entitled 'Indication of the
subsequent canonical [church]
celebration of marriage'.
Only the left column of the record is translated below.
Essentially, the left column gives the details of the
civil promise made at the Town Hall, while the right
column simply confirms that the couple was married in
church on 25 May 1859 in the presence of witnesses
Girolamo Curatolo
and Giuseppe Sferanza,
and that the civil and church records were
cross-referenced.
This record is only the promise or
contract to
marry, but it contains much more information than the
actual marriage record made by the church. Click
on the images at left to see the original documents.
Unfortunately, the church marriage records for the years
1856 through 1865 are missing. |
