was wondering about church for Giuiseppe Cornetta and Emmanuele Pepe. They married 10 March 1891 in Altavilla Silentina. On marriage document I have just say married by mayor but no mention of church.I will try to look and see if I can find.

Thanks.

I put wrong year as was 1889. But see that site you gave went to 1865 so guess won't help.

Donna, the records for your town on that site cover the years 1809-1945 inclusive. You are so fortunate because often they only go to 1910.

1809-1815 incl here:

1866-1945 incl here: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/search- ... 0Silentina

You already have 1816-1865 inclusive but I'll post again to keep them altogether: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/search- ... 0Silentina (Click on espandi to view the types of records and relative years)

A lot of people have been having problems with the antenati site so you might not be able to access any records at the moment. I haven't rechecked.

All the best.

Thanks to mmogno. I was trying to find if church mentioned. Angela wrote that sometimes they were. The site won't let me in. Says an error.

[mmogno]

Between 1870 and 1929, the Kingdom of Italy did not recognise church weddings. Consequently, if a couple wanted to be married by both the Italian state and the Church, they had to hold two separate weddings. As civil and religious marriages were distinct, the marriage certificate contained no information regarding the religious ceremony.

Donna I have never seen a church marriage recorded on a marriage record for the time period you have been looking for. I’m really sorry that I confused you or gave you false hope with how I phrased my remark.

FYI Tessa had already located the ”1889” Marriage record pertaining to Giuseppe Cornetta and Emmanuele Pepe, and also extracted the vital information. She is very thorough and I know she would’ve noted any extra annotations or details.

Hopefully the antenati site will be up and running soon. You have some really fantastic records there. Best to you with your future searches.

Angela Thanks for additional information. From what my Grandmother told me her parents were very religious. All the children were baptized. I have the baptism records for US. All the children except the one was born here in America.

I didn't know about the church not being allowed on records during those years.

Donna, it is mmogno that you should be thanking for the "additional information" not me. See below:

mmogno Thanks for all the information. I didn't know about Church records. As I posted you all have helped me a lot.
