No problem! The other names are most likely a witness registering the death not an actual witness to the death itself although sometimes it was the same person who found their relative dead who then reported it.

I had definitely considered 'this commune' before, but was thrown off by them including a street name. Now rereading it, the street name is his current address in Orsogna so you're probably correct. Maybe they just didn't know where he was born so simplified it by saying 'this commune'. Thanks so much! I think i just needed a second opinion :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Italian Town Name?

Can anyone make out this town name? This family has consistently been from Orsogna so it was surprising to see anything else in a record. #100 Niccolo d'Angelo, son of Domenico and Cecilia.

I'm not much help with the first part, sorry, but the second part says:
July 31, 1892. 7:30 PM.
Margaret, aged 47, resident of Gavinana.
Born Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales to Hewelling (which is probably Llewellyn) Jones and Mary Owen.
The rest of the page is just witness names/ages/addresses.

Hopefully someone who is better with cursive sees this and helps out  ;D

Europe / Re: Poland: Legitimate Reason For Multiple Illegitimate Children?
« on: Thursday 23 March 23 19:38 GMT (UK)  »
While the records for marriages and deaths say 1808-1925, there are large gaps so no luck on the burials for any of the children. Likewise, no marriage for Rozalia. I noticed that with Elzbieta as well, but i thought maybe it's a different person in a different town with the same name? If it's her having multiple baby daddies, why would the fathers' claim her on a register? Wouldn't it continue to say 'illegitimate'. My theory is she had this relationship with Jan until his wife died and then they made it legit, but with the lack of burial or marriage records, i can't corroborate that. It's an interesting discussion though.

Europe / Poland: Legitimate Reason For Multiple Illegitimate Children?
« on: Thursday 23 March 23 16:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hiya! I've been looking into a relative named Rozalia Kostecka. She was from Spieszyn, Poland. She was married to Grzegorz Wiszniewski then died in 1919. Her death certificate doesn't list any parents and i've been unable to find a marriage record yet. Just a few years ago, Spieszyn had no records online so i'm ecstatic for what is available now. Looking into the Kostecki families in Rudka revealed just one having children around the time of Rozalia's birth in 1855. Jan Kostecki and Elzbieta Wasilewska. I thought this was promising since they only had two children born 1859 and 1861, until i looked into Elzbieta on her own. She had many illegitimate children before having the two with Jan, none of them being a daughter named Rozalia. So while i no longer believe this is Rozalia's family, unless her husband was wrong about her birth date and she came after 1862 when the records end, i am very much interested in Elzbieta's reasoning for having so many illegitimate children. Could Jan have been the father of all her children? Could they have not been allowed to marry for some reason? Different religions maybe? There are a lot of records missing so it will probably have to wait a few more years, but curious if anyone has a guess? Also, Elzbieta herself was illegitimate as there is a Katarzyna Wasilewska having multiple illegitimate children as well.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Does anyone know what this note on the burial register is referencing?
« on: Thursday 09 February 23 14:43 GMT (UK)  »
I think it says "referred to by WLW 1866 7 Oct" but i have no idea what that means? Anyone know what this is referencing?

Yep it's sussex. Annoyingly when i updated the name on Ancestry, they gave me another marriage record with the 'Lidgater' name. Don't know why it didn't come up when i was searching using the husband's name. I'm usually really thorough, but this one just eluded me.

There aren't any Ridgates in the area, but there are substantial Ludgaters so i think you solved it! Thank you so much!
