Marriage of Józef Rataj alias Jabłoński and Zuzanna Kwaśna (1821)
Hello,
This is my translation of the Polish language marriage record of Józef Rataj alias Jabłoński and Zuzanna Kwaśna, from the Bytoń Parish. Any errors are completely my own.
Dąbrówka, 1821, No. 18,
This happened on November 20th, 1821, before Us, the Administrator and Civil Registrar of Bytoń, performing the duties of the Registrar of Vital Records for the District of Bytoń, Brześć County, Mazowieckie Province:
Józef Rataj alias Jabłoński, aged 45, a widower.
Zuzanna Kwaśna, aged 25, single – according to a certificate excerpted from the books of the Bytoń Parish.
The parties who appeared request that we proceed with the celebration of the wedding they have arranged between them, the announcement of which was published before the main doors of our District Court, that is: first on the 21st of October, and the second on the 28th of October, 1821. When we were not informed of any obstacles to the aforementioned marriage, and the parents here in attendance hereby consent, acquiescing to the aforementioned request, after reading to the parties and witnesses all the aforementioned papers and Section Six of the Civil Code regarding marriage, we asked the future husband and future wife whether they wished to join with each other in marital union, and when each of them responded separately that such is their wish, we proclaim in the name of the law that Józef Rataj alias Jabłoński and Zuzanna Kwaśna are joined in the bonds of matrimony.
Of which we recorded this record in the presence of: Augustyn Pawłowski, aged 40, from Głuszyn; Andrzej Gładziński, aged 50, from Głuszyn; Stanisław Żiemkiewicz, aged 38, from Bytoń; and Jakub Czajka, aged 60, from Bytoń. This document was read aloud to the declarants and witnesses and signed by Us who can write, because those appearing and the witnesses mentioned in this document cannot write.
Rev. Melchior Goczański, Pastor of the Bytoń Parish and Civil Registrar.
