This one is a bit tricky. This may or may not be a marriage record of a pair of great-great-grandparents. I'm trying to put some pieces together and so really need a full translation of this, please, so that I can uncover as many clues as possible.

For those interested in why I think these may be my g-g-grandparents:

If I'm right, then my great-grandmother was their daughter, and I know almost nothing about her family, and her birth and marriage records seem to have been destroyed along with other Dlugosiodlo-area Jewish records, so I'm unable to get her parents' names that way. But her Cleveland headstone shows her father's Hebrew name has Tzvi Chayim, and her son's--my grandfather's--marriage certificate says that her maiden name had been Kowadlow. So that seems to fit with this groom's name, and I had estimated my great-grandmother's birth as being this particular year. (Now, the marriage certificate of another of her son's identifies her maiden name as Kordoval! Ugh.)

Groom: Hersh Chaim Kowadlow, bachelor, 19
Groom's parents: Szlama (deceased) and ? from Kalushin

Bride: Chava Zeleniec, maiden, 19
Bride's parents: Eli and Sura Ickavli (probably her patriarchal name - her father was Icek/Izak).

I also just wanted to say that Kowadlow is really Kowad. OW is a suffix. Most phonetic records for Kowad are from Grodno, then Sieldce, which were close to each other.

Chawa Zeleniec was born in 1849 to Eli and Sura in Papki, near Wegrow. Eli's father was Lajzer and Sura's father was Icek.
