Marriage of Jan Pilachowski and Elzbieta Banachowska (1815)

Hello,

This is my translation of the Polish language marriage record of Jan Pilachowski and Ełżbieta Banachowska, from the Broniewo Parish. Any errors are completely my own.

Płowki, 1815

This happened on November 25th, 1815. Before Us, the undersigned Registrar of Vital Records of the District of Broniewo, Radziejów County, Bydgoszcz Department:

Jan Pilachowski, aged 27, single, a peasant villager residing in Płowki, according to a certificate excerpted from the books of the Broniewo Parish.

Ełżbieta Banachowska, aged 17, single, previously residing with her father Władysław Banachowski, in the village of Płowki, according to a certificate excerpted from the books of the Broniewo 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 5th of November, and the second on the 12th of November, 1815, at 12 p.m. 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 Jan and Ełżbieta are joined in the bonds of matrimony.

Of which we recorded this record in the presence of: Szymon Koltarz, aged 42; Józef Krewczak, aged 55; and Jan Kośmider, aged 34; peasant villagers residing in Płowki. 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. Bartłomiej Bożychowicz, Pastor of the Broniewo Parish and Civil Registrar.
