Unfortunately due to the water damaged 1612-1616 Church marriage volume, many records were lost. Fortunately the record of my ancestor Franceso di Licciardo to his wife Antonina is partially preserved in that we can clearly read his parent's names (Antonino & Angela) and her father's first name (Giuseppe).


Initially the bride's father was assumed to be Giovanni or Giuseppe



checking the index to this volume, you will find Giuseppe recorded as "Gioseppe"



and Giovanni recorded as Joanni



So here is what we know for sure:

September 1612
Francesco di Licciardo (son of Antonino & Angela)
married
Antonina (unknown) daughter of Giuseppe & (unknown)

I decided to check and see if I couldn't find Antonina's death in the records I have online (to 1654) but before I did, I took a look at the marriages of two of her children, to determine when she might have died. Keep in mind the living or deceased status for the parents of the groom and bride are noted (gdm if deceased, nothing if alive)

Here is the 1 September 1641 marriage of her daughter Rosalia to Francesco Gaglio. In it Rosalia's mother is said to be living.



here is the 17 Nov 1652 marriage of her son Antonino to Giulia Corpora, in it Antonino's mother is said to be deceased.



so... by these two documents we can be relatively certain Antonina (unknown) di Licciardo died between 1641 and 1652, which is well within the scope of my available burials.

I find only one Antonina di Licciardo listed (burial records for women at this time are listed under their married name).

8 October 1646



roughly it states Antonina di Licciardo, daughter of Giuseppe ......) I can't make out his last name, which is partially cut off.

Can anyone?

iT KINDA LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE ABA(TE) BUT HARD TO TELL. I COULDN'T FIND A BAPTISM FOR ANTONINA (ANTONELLA) ABATE BUT I THINK WE'D PROBABLY NEED THE BAPTISM BOOK FOR 1592-1606...

SORRY JIM,

ANG

Thanks Ang, it does kind of look like Abbate or Abate. Hm.....

(how come you aren't logged in?)

hi

I think the first letter is an A...you know how they sometimes kinda curlyque the right side of the A....?

I wanted to send response in case it helped...on duty here at the 'casa de quelle vecchia' and doorbell being overworked so just did it quickly. (also forgot to click that 'keep me logged in' thingy...LOL)

Ang

I think you are right on with that first letter being an A, Cousin Michel agrees, and believes a likely candidate for her father is Giuseppe Albano/Arbano who married 1590 Angela Covello.

It's just too bad we can't read the whole surname, darned binding!!!

I didn't try to find parents marriage

I'll keep trying though..fascinated...lol
