Amondestados

Question

We are trying to translate an old family marriage record (from 1818) and this is the only word we can't figure out. The handwriting is very hard to read so the spelling may not be 100% correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I neglected to thank motley in my last message as I didn't notice the name on that reply. If anyone is interested in taking a look at the whole passage from the marriage book, here is the original, as well as we could read it. I am also including the translation which, thanks to reading the wikipedia article about marriage banns, actually makes sense. Let me know if anyone sees any glaring errors. Thanks again to you all for your kind assistance. By the way, we believe this is the marriage of our great, great, grandfather.

In this Holy Church of the Presidio of Pitic on March 29, 1818: I,

Father Patricio Guezada Capellan Castrence of said Presidio having

completed the necessary diligence which is ordered and prescribed by the Holy

Council of Trent, published the banns on three Sundays

and twenty-four hours after the last proclamation has passed, not having

discovered any impediment, marry

Francisco Oruna being witnesses, and so that it be evident, sign it.

Answer 2

Thanks DoDro & James. A friend at work suggested 'admonish' but that didn't make sense in the context of a marriage record. When you added the "banns" it all made sense. Here is a link to the Wikipedia definition of banns.
