Important record that breaks a brick wall for me! Looks to be a marriage record for 1818 from Sniadowo. A full translation is really appreciated!

Hello,
I don’t have time for a full word-for-word translation, unfortunately, because these early records are really wordy—this one doesn’t even finish on this page, in fact, although the majority looks to be included here. However, I can extract all the relevant genealogical information.

One other note: Because of the age of the record, the individuals involved do not have true surnames. All they have are patronymics (-owicz or -owna) indicating their fathers’ names.

Registration of Marriage: Śniadowo (Łomża District, Augustów Voivodeship), 28 June 1818

Groom: Leyba Mortkowicz, young man, of-age, 21 years old, a day-laborer; son of Mortko Leybowicz [son of Leyb(a)] and Marya Joszkowna [daughter of Joszek], residing and both now deceased in Śniadowo

Bride: Rochla Leyzorowna, unmarried, underage, 20 years old residing with her mother; daughter of Leyzor Leybowicz [son of Leyb(a)], a day-laborer residing and now deceased in Śniadowo; and of Leia Leybowna [daughter of Leyb(a)], a day-laborer still living in Śniadowo

Marriage Banns (Announcements): Published in Śniadowo on 21 and 25 June 1818
