The Common Room / Catholic Marriage Records- de statu/de statu libero - free status - meaning?
« on: Tuesday 11 April 17 08:59 BST (UK) »
The phrase "de statu " is entered against a relative's marriage entry but no wife's name is entered. Elsewhere on the same record, the phrase "de statu libero" appears under the witnesses column but again no wife's name is entered. Google translate came up with free status. Can anyone suggest why this appears in place of his bride? Also, how can I track down his bride's name?
I've attached screenshots of relative's entry and other example mentioned.
Thanks for any help. Hope this posted in right place.
