I have a dna match to a lady, who thinks that our connection is through Antoni Chilla, but she has him married to Marianna Polea, and we wonder if Antoni married more than once.
Faustyna was born in 1851 in Rynkowka, Pomerania, Poland. She died on 14 December 1891, in Bakowo, Plochicin, Pomorze, Poland.
I haven’t received any feedback regarding the scan for Anton junior’s birth yet, but maybe I’ll review some of your data first.
Faustyna’s age is indeed 40 when she dies in 1891 (i.e. born abt 1851), but it is 20 when she marries on 12 Oct 1873 (i.e. born abt 1853):

N.B. It looks as if both the bride and the groom might have been from the current hamlet “Cisowy” a stone’s throw from Rynkówka.
The only possibility for her birth seems to be a Julianne Faustine CHYLA born 15 Feb 1
854 (NOT 1851) in Rynkówka, daughter of Anton CHYLA and Maryanna
POLEY (NOT POLEA):

Faustina seems to have had at least abt half a dozen siblings (there are various parish books missing!). It is interesting that when a possible sister is born in 1843, the mum has her name in a Polish version just like the family from Milewo in 1843.
It is abt a 90 minute walk from Milewo to Rynkówka/ Cisowy (and faster by horse), so “your” Anton could have had 2 families parallel to each other, but it would be more likely that there were 2 separate Antons who might have been related …
