The story of Valentine Wiciejewski--Including his 2nd marriage on 22 Nov 1824

I am trying to mainly share stories of the direct descendants--but some of their brothers and sisters have good stories to share also. Today (November 22) is the anniversary of the second marriage of Valentine (Walenty) Wiciejewski, my 4th great uncle. At his birth on 9 Feb 1824 at 4 a.m., his father, Maciej Wiciejewski was already 54 years old and had been a renowned potter. His mother, Marianna nee Metalska was 37. Maciej was born in their house #207 in Tomaszow. The witnesses were Maciej Wyszynski, 50, a cooper and Michal Kudlicki, 45, a shoemaker. His parents had nine children--Valentine was the youngest and his sister Salomea was the oldest. Salomea married Andrzej Kaszucki, (my 3x great grandparents) the year before Valentine was born. Their first born Nikolaj was born two months after Valentine’s birth in her father’s house so there would have been two newborns living there. Valentine’s mother died when he was nine and his father died when he was 15. He likely lived with one of his older brothers or sisters. Valentine’s first marriage was to Helena Jozefko on 16 Jul 1843. He was 19 and his father was already deceased and Helena was 22. She was born in Komodow but was working in Tomaszow as household help. Her parents were farmers in Komodow. The witnesses were both shoemakers: Mateusz Rubacka, 29 and Tomasz Kaminski, 36. When Valentine married for the second time, at 3pm, his bride Miss Ewa Tarczylo was 22 years old and he was 35. He was working as a spoon maker and his parents were deceased. Her father Jan was deceased and she was living in Tomaszow Lubelski with her mother Petronella (Bukawski) Tarczylo. They were shoemakers. The witnesses were Antoni Romanowicz, 48 and Tadeusz Tyndar, 46, both shoemakers. It sounds like in his life he had various jobs. He started out as a shoemaker and became a spoon maker. He then was a peasant farmer and an innkeeper in the village of Para. When he married Ewa he was back to being a spoon maker. He died at age 50.
