Tomasz Nyzio & Zofia Kawecka Marriage Record

The translation, which is an easy DIY project, follows>

C.1: (Year)1873
C1a: Series = number in order: 7
C1b: Dies et Mensis = Day & Month: July 8
C1c: Numerus Domus = House Number: Blank
C2: Sponsus = The Groom
C2a: Nomen = Name: Tomasz Nyzio, son of the late Wojciech and Anna Nyzio from Sędziszów
C2b: Religio = Religion: Catholic
C2c: Aetas = Age: 56
C2d: Coelebs = Bachelor: Blank
C2e: Viduus = Widower: Checked

C3b: Religio = Religion: Catholic

C3d: Coelebs = Maiden: Blank
C3e: Vidua = Widow: Checked
C4 Testes et eorum conditio: Witnesses: Wojciech Kania(?) and (Wicenty (entered in Polish not Latin & surname is illegible to me)

Notation at bottom (deals with insignificant legalities):
After the 3 banns had been announced on the 3rd, 4th & 5th Sundays after Pentecost and since no impediment* had been discovered Pawel K??siak, the assistant pastor blessed the marriage.

Note: * certain impediments were so grave that no dispensation could be granted (e.g. an existing valid marriage or the intention never to be faithful to the spouse—deals with intention which is completely different from an instance/instances of infidelity. The intention goes against one of the goods/expectations essential to marriage whereas instances of infidelity are lapses due to human frailty which fall short of how a spouse should act.
During the 19th Century the impediments which were liable to be discovered usually were due to consanguinity or affinity from which a dispensation would be required before the wedding could take place. The expectation was that someone in the parish would be aware of the connection and let the priest know so that he could obtain the required dispensation. The most well known dispensation from affinity involves Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon. Catherine was betrothed to Henry’s older brother who died before the marriage was consummated but according to the laws at the time Henry & Catherine were related by affinity from which the Pope granted a dispensation. Everything was just fine until after Catherine was past child bearing age and Henry wanted a male heir and not just the daughter they had together. Henry wanted an annulment but didn’t get one which resulted in Henry declaring himself head of the Church in England by which he ended up with his six wives. In short dispensations were meant to make marriages legal and thus eliminate grounds for annulments in the future.

All this kind of knowledge and a dime would get you a transfer on any bus or El in Chi-town in the 60s when transfers were free.

Hello David,

I came across an unusual birth record from Dzodowice (Galicia) where the godparents are both described as Pauper de Xenodochio Mirynicay Martini
The three other children born before Kaspar had godparents of similar upper social status. Why would people in a poor house be chosen as there must have been some financial obligation to being a godparent? It would seem an unfair burden to put on them.
Also, is there any significance to the "x" after the godparents names?

On the death record:
Gasparus,
Generoso??? Andreas Krupinski oeconomi et Victoria de patre Josepho Piskorski
nata C.l. filius

What is the ending of "Generoso"?
The meaning of "C.l."? Could it be "Catholica" and "Legitimi"?
Is cause of death "Tussis"?

Thank you
Chris
