Marriage record for Krutula Jakub and Róża

It happened in Balwierzyszki, on August 26th, 1836, at 5 p.m.

We make it known that in the presence of witnesses, Jerzy Krutula, a farmer from Putroszany, 30 years old and Mateusz Zwyrbel, the administrator of monastic property from Putroszany, 28 years old, a religious marriage was concluded, between:

Jakub Krutula, a single man, a farmer born and living in Jachany, a son of Jan and Justyna nee Szulewska, the Krutula spouses, 21 years old

and

Róża, a miss, a daughter of Szymon and Anna, the Zwyrbel spouses, 17 years old, who was born and lives at her parents' in Putroszany.

This marriage was preceded by three banns of marriage, announced on: August 10th, 17th and 24th of the current year in the parishes of Balwierzyszki and Udryń.

The newlyweds' parents, who were present at drafting this marriage Act, gave their permission for this marriage to be concluded.

There were no objections for this marriage.

This Act was read to the newlyweds and witnesses, all of whom were illiterate.

Hi Marcel,

Could you look at it one more time? It is indexed as 1833, not 1836. You can see the index here (go to skan 79):

https://www.epaveldas.lt/preview?id=1041%2F1%2F1

The marriage record itself is on skan 78.

Best regards,
Sophia

Thanks for pointing that out; I’ve already corrected my mistake.

Thanks Sophia. Unfortunately I don't know whether it is a parish church list or a residence list. Your information has been really helpful.

Thanks for the column headers, Blue.

For Anna, I now read it this way: "Anna urodz Nowak"

I'm not used to seeing maiden names written that way, but that is what I see.

For the column "stan zawód" I am seeing żona... (I actually can't read the ending, but I think it might say żonaty). If you are able to look at other women on this page or other pages, you should be able to see this same word in multiple places, if its purpose is to indicate that she is the wife of the head of household.

Is this a list of people who belonged to a church? Or is it a residence list for a town? If it's for a church, then I would agree with your interpretation that a cross-out means she left this parish. If it's for a town, I would see it slightly differently.

For Jadwiga, I agree with Barb's reading of her occupation as "służąca".

Can someone please help me to read these extracts of a residence list?

I read them as:

6. [ditto] Anna, ____
_____, 3 June 1893, ____, Kepno [?]
I am also guessing that since there is a line through her name, it means she moved to a different parish?

5. Płonka Jadwiga 18 October 1906, _____, Teklin [?]

Hi,
It would be nice to see the entire page, especially the heading.

6. uxor – wife, Nowak, Łośnica, Kępno

5. "służąca" - domestic servant / maid / housemaid

Sophia, do you interpret it the same way I do?

Regards,
-Barb

Hi Barb,

I agree with you 100% that we need to see column headings.
Since this is a residence list, I am not expecting it to have Latin words, so I am cautious about agreeing with the word "uxor."
However, on the same line as Nowak, is the next word "zona" ? So we are left with the same interpretation, wife.
