Please help me with the translation of this Hungarian marriage record.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9R7S-W6Y?i=223&cc=1554443 It is the first record on the left page. This is what I think I know about this record:

The groom is Janos Szanyiszlo, the date is 7 Feb 1831, and the village is Nagyida/ Velka Ida.

I would like to know the name of the bride and the parents, age of the bride and groom and any other pertinent information that mat be contained in the record.

Thank You

Lewis Klapka

    I'm sorry that I can't convey the wonderful "flavor" of the period language.

    Line number 2. Day of the wedding and issuance of the certificate: on Feb. 7th.

    Names of those pairing off, their parents, and those present at the wedding: local resident young man János Szanyiszló engaged for himself as his future spouse the maiden daughter [inserted above: Anna] of former local resident the late István Csáji, with whom, as his betrothed bride, they were announced on three different Sundays, and were married before the following honest men, that is, in the presence of Péter Fürjész, András Kusnyír[?], and Mihály Szanyiszló the younger.

    Name of the officiant and issuer of the certificate: by István Halmy preacher.

    Julia, Thank you for your quick response. I am suprised that the record does not mention the name of the groom's parents or at least the name of his father.

    Thank you for your effort

    Well, given that the entry very nearly forgot to identify the bride, I'm not surprised that the groom's parents were omitted. It's another manifestation of the same thought process that results in photographs labeled "my dear mother": it's obvious to the writer at the time, therefore it will remain obvious for all people for all time.

    (Somewhere among my mom's dad's ancestors, I found a marriage record that actually did omit the bride.)

    Oh well, I will have to try to find Janos' birth record to determine who his parents were.

    Thanks again for your help
