Żebbug born and bred, Calcedonia was the daughter of a Filippo and married another Filippo. You can’t be more Żebbugija than that.

She is one of my maternal 3 x great-grandmothers.

She was born on Friday 11 November 1831¹ in Żebbug, Malta¹. She was the daughter of Filippo Aquilina¹ and Grazia Abela². She was baptised in the parish church of Żebbug¹ on the same day as Giovanna Calcedonia Rosa Filippa¹.

Family

On Tuesday 21 November 1848² she married Filippo Balzan^{2 3} in the parish church of Żebbug².

Together they had 1 child I know of:

• Grazia

Notable events

She must have lived in Zebbug because this is where her daughter was born³.

As was customary those days, she didn’t work and her family described her as a housewife³.

Death

She was still alive in 1884 when her daughter married³. I have no other information about where, when or how she died.
