12th January 1749
(Marriage banns made as requested by laws) first being 15th December 1748, second being 26th of the same month, third being on 29th of same month: no impediment detected. I, Archangel Debono, parish priest, interviewed Lawrence Sammut legal and natural son of John Mary Sammut and Maria (Cini ?) his wife from the town of Mosta and Anna Debono legitimate and natural daughter of Lawrence Debono and Rosa his wife from the town of Attard: who verbally gave their mutual consent for this wedding in front of Reverend Don John Vassallo, Lawrence Debono. At the end of the mass celebration held in the Church of Santa Maria, Rev Anthony Griscti gave his blessings, by my authority.

Commentary: the bride's mother's maiden surname is 99% Cini - the only doubt is the difference in calligraphy when writing the C, as compared to other capital Cs in the script (such as that of Casali and Coniug) which have no leading line into the C.

Once again a branch takes us away from the town of Attard, into that of Mosta, but the research continued up the bride's ancestors, thus remaining in Attard.

Research Checkpoint

At this point, it merits to recapitulate our progress so far.


One path has trailed off to Zebbug, the other path opened another trail into Qormi, whilst further up it split between Rabat and Attard.
In the figure above, the yellow path shows the records of the family in Attard.
So next in line is the marriage of Lawrence Sammut and his wife Anna Debono in Attard.
