Can someone assist me with translating these documents?

Post by typeogirl »

This morning I found these two 1911 marriage certificates on http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/. I was excited to see that some documents from Ragusa were added.

Giovanni Augello and Carmella Augello are siblings. I want to learn how to read these documents for myself so I don't have to keep bothering people.

What is the marriage date? Are their birth dates listed-or birthplace? Are their parents listed? I think their home addresses are on there but I cannot be sure.

What is the difference between 1) Matrimoni, 2) Matrimoni, Allegati, 3) Matrimoni, pubblicazioni and 4) Matrimoni, pubblicazioni allegati. They all have the same years listed but I don't understand what the difference is between the categories.

I have attached the two documents to this post. Thank you so much everyone!

pubblicazione di matrimonio - is the marriage ban or the intention to marry. it is posted in the town to publicize teh couples' intention
the allegati is the collection of documents, such as birth and death records or their extracts
atti di matrimonio - is the actual marriage act

this link translates the boilerplate language of the pubblicazione.

It is no bother :-) That is what we do!

Here is an Instructional Guide to Italian Records... :-)

Thank you thank you thank you!

How far in advance were the the banns posted before the couple could get married?

Can someone help me translate this document? I know the couple were both widowers. This is the 2nd marriage for my g-g-grandmother. I am so excited I found this because I can find the parents names for Marianna. I also was told Nicolo was some sort of musician, not sure if this is in the document.

Does this document list the deceased spouse?

I appreciate everyone's help so much!

Banns were usually posted for 2 consecutive Sundays, and in some cases, an additional posting on Thursday. I have seen marriages which took place on the next Sunday.

The marriage document identifies:
Groom: Nicolò Giardina, a widower, age 54, and a shoemaker (calzolaio)
His parents were deceased Francesco, a sieve-maker (crivaio); and deceased Giorgia Lissandrello, both residents of Ragusa.
Bride: Marianna Iacono, widow, age 48, housewife.
Her parents were deceased Luciano, a cart-driver (carrettiere); and deceased Giorgia Guastella.

Date of marriage was 7 January 1912 at 4 PM
Banns posted on 24 and 31 December of the preceding month.

Deceased spouses not mentioned, but you might find them in the request for publication of the banns (Pubblicazione) or in the Allegati (attachments to the record)
