Agnieszka (née Szcześnicka) Wiśniowska died
Agnieszka (née Szcześnicka) Wiśniowska died on 20 May 1823, 198 years ago. She was 49 years old. In some of the records her first name was Jagniewska. She died in Tomaszów Lubelski in house # 347 at 6:00 in the evening. It would require a detailed map from that time period to determine where that was--the one posted is from 1907 --quite a bit later and not detailed enough to include house numbers.
Her husband Blazej, 55 was a grave digger and farmer. He had previously been a foreman at a faience (ceramic) factory. The other witness reporting her death was her older brother Bartlomiej who was 53 years old and was a manufacturer of faience.
Blazer and Agnieszka had five children, three boys and two girls. The three oldest children were between ages 9 and 13 when she died. The two youngest had died as infants. Blazej later would become engaged to a woman and then later marry another one within the year of his wife’s death, likely wanting a mother for his children. The oldest Ewa would later become my 3x great grandmother after marrying Josef Kurkiewicz.
We know from her brother Bartlomiej’ wedding record (1820) that their father was a judge
("jurydyczanie" [singular: "jurydyczanin" legal authority)
