Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Death and Burial Record of Józef Obidziński – 1803. Translated from the Latin, the record states:

Obidzino. On the 9th day of February, the Nobleman Józef Obidziński died, husband of Katarzyna née Niedziałkowska, at rest at about 90 years of age, provided with the Sacrament and buried in the cemetery.

In this record, the spelling of the last name has changed to Obidziński from Obidzienski, the spelling in the Baptismal Records of Józef’s children. The spelling Obidziński is the spelling in use today.

The fact that Józef is described as the husband of Katarzyna née Niedziałkowska implies that he did not marry anyone else after he married Katarzyna. The Marriage Record for Józef and Katarzyna stated that Józef was a widower at the time of that marriage. I have not yet found the record for Józef’s first marriage.

One interesting point to note about the village where the Obidzienski family lived – the village is called Obidzino. I suspect that, since the Obidzienskis were from the lesser nobility, the village was named after the family.
