Before marrying my cousin Anastasia Rita Meleski, Bernard J. Izbicki married Josephine I. Maslowski.
Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Marriage Certificate for Bernard J. Izbicki and Josephine I. Maslowski. The record states that:
- Bernard J. Izbicki was a 25 year old white man born and residing in Worcester, Massachusetts
- He was a Cold Roller, and his parents were Boleslaus Izbicki and Victoria Kruczynski
- Josephine I. Maslowski was a 22 year old white woman born and residing in Worcester, Massachusetts
- She was a Sticher and her parents were Stanislaus Maslowski and Agatha Szkutnik
- They were both single, and this was the first marriage for each of them
- The intention of marriage was entered at Worcester on 25 Jan 1936, and the certificate was issued on 30 Jan 1936 by Malcolm C. Midgley
- The wedding was solemnized on 22 Feb 1936 in St. Mary’s Church in Worcester by John F. Mieczkowski, a priest residing at 15 Richland St., Worcester, Massachusetts
- The certificate was received by the city or town clerk, Malcolm C. Midgley on 11 Mar 1936, the Registered No. was 178 and the Intention No. was 74
- The certificate also notes the page number 464 in the Volume of the Marriage Records for Worcester in 1936
Bernard Izbicki later married Anastasia Rita Meleski in the same church. Bernard was divorced and Anastasia Rita was widowed at the time. The question now is, did Bernard Izbicki and Josephine Maslowski obtain a divorce? If they did, how did Bernard and Anastasia Rita manage to be married in the Roman Catholic Church?
On my to-do list: look for the death of Josephine and look for a possible divorce of Bernard and Josephine.
