90. Kębłów

This happened in the [town?] of Piaski wielkie on the seventh (nineteenth) of August in the year one-thousand eight-hundred seventy at the hour of two I the afternoon. There appeared Wojciech [Kacpersia?], thirty years of age, and Franciszek [Gaika?], forty years of age, laborers from the village of Kębłów, and he stated that on the fourth (sixteenth) day of August in the same year, at the hour of eight in the afternoon, Tekla Dańko, the one-year-old daughter of Jan Dańko, laborer in Kębłów and his wife Salomea née Ciesielka, died in the village of Kębłów, having been born in the village of Łańcuchów, residing in the village of Kębłów after birth. After eyewitness testimony on the death of Tekla Dańko, this document was read aloud to those present who were illiterate, and was signed only by Us.

I had not previously found a birth and baptismal record for Tekla Dańko in the Piaski records. The reason I didn’t find a birth and baptismal record in the parish of Piaski was because Tekla was born in Łańcuchnów, a village in the parish of Łańcuchnów. This provides a clue for further research in the parish of Łańcuchnów. The Family History Library has microfilmed records for Łańcuchnów for the years 1733-1890.

LUBLIN DEACONATE

This happened in the town of Piaski wielkie on the nineteenth day of May in the year one-thousand eight-hundred sixty-seven at the hour of twelve noon. We make it known that in the presence of witnesses: Stanisław [Tlenis?], thirty years of age, and Wawrzeniec [Bis?], thirty years of age, farmers in Gardzienice, on this day a religious marriage was contracted between: Jan Dańko, a farm hand, widower after Małgorzata née Korbus who died on the sixth of February in this same year, son of Wojciech Dańko and his wife Agnieszka née Smyka, a sheep farmer in Oleśniki, born in Stryjów, for three years in the service of this one, thirty years of age, and the maiden Salomea Ciesielka, daughter of Adam Ciesielka and his wife Elżbieta née Nieszporek, farmers in Gardzienice, born in Gardzienice and residing there with her parents, twenty years of age. This wedding was preceded by three readings of the banns, on the fifth, twelfth, and nineteenth of this same month and year. The newlyweds stated that they had made no prenuptial agreement between them. Oral consent for this marriage contract was given by the parents of the newlyweds who were present for the recording of the marriage. This document was read aloud to the declarants and witnesses who do not know how to write, and was signed by Us.

Earlier in the year 1867, Jan Danko’s wife Małgorzata and son Franciszek died. With this marriage, Jan wasted no time finding a new wife to take care of his house and family. This document provides two clues to the origin of this family: Jan was born in Stryjów (Tarnogóra Parish) and his parents resided in Oleśniki (Fajsławice Parish). Both of these places are just to the south of Piaski. The Tarnogóra metrical records from 1810-1910 and the Fajsławice metrical records from  1825-1910 have been microfilmed by the Family History Library.
