Daughters recognition in deathbed marriage entry

LucaMilvio

I have a deathbed marriage (him being on the bed and both being elder). On the same entry, immediately after the marriage there's the recognition of the four daughters they had previously together.

Is there a correct way to record this info somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

I believe that since this is a "deathbed" marriage we will index only that portion that has a marriage event. The other information will be a surprise to all of the researchers who find this record and they will rejoice! It may not be an ideal marriage - but it is a marriage. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to index these tricky records!

Interesting question, can you please share the batch Number of the project you are indexing to be able to look into the image and give you an accurat answer.

Some projects ask you to index the primary event only such as marriages.

Once the project is finished it will be available to the public with a link to the images. The researcher will find the person by their names, will see that precious other information of a recognition of a daughter, and make their own conclusion when they see the image.

Here the batch:

The entry is the first one of the batch (n°2). It's in italian, though... I can give a rough translation of it if that can help. Even if I'm not 100% sure of the exact technical words for some things.

"Jan 29th 1886 in Genoa in the house at Chiapparella Plaza n°42, 2nd floor I, undersigned, Marquis Knight Giacomo Vivaldi Pasqua, municipal councilor etc etc [...] ...to proceed to marry one Cesare Ossessia, 57 years old, [...] to Maria Villaumè, born in Argiesàns (France), living in Genoa, 45 years old.. [...] ..the first laying in bed, who made a verbal request to me to bond them in marriage. [... witnesses and clearance...]

Immediately after, the spouses declared to me that they recognise as their legitimate daughters under the law four young ladies procreated by them, whom the first three are registered in Marseille, one in 1862 named Cesarina, another in 1865 named Amabile, the third in 1867 named Virginia, the fourth inscribed on the Church Registry of Duino, "comune" near Trieste, in 1968 named Carolina. [... more clearance and proofs and references to the law for the exceptional circumstance as the husband was in immediate risk of death...]"

My "concern" is mainly because those informations are exactly the kind of links "hidden" in documents that can greatly further a research in tricky family situations like this one...

Thanks again!
