Leonardo Francesco was baptized on January 9 1721. He was born the same day and was the son of Giuseppe and Innocenza Schifano.

Innocenza was baptized on November 30 1745. She was born the same day and was the daughter of Leonardo and Maria Schifano (I don't see the surname Ragusa).

Thank you, I appreciate that. Her parents full names are on her marriage record. I recently found out Innocenza was born in Chuisa Sclafani, She married Caetani Cutrera and she went to his town of Corleone, Where their children were born.

The correct name, in Italian, is Gaetano

I thought Innocenza Schifano parents were Mariano and Maria Schifano on her death record

According to a Translater It is Leonardo Mariano Schifano & Maria Ragusa. I found a the birth record for Leonardo 1721 and his Mother is also Named Innocenza, So I am guessing that the Innocenza I was searching was named after her Fathers Mother, Does this make sense. I Have all the records If you want to check it out.

Here is Innocenza marriage record to Geatani Cutrera, the marriage record does not give the name of the priest; indeed it is not a typical marrige record; it just states that the marriage bans were done in the parish church of the groom (San Martino in Corleone) but the marriage itself was celebrated elsewhere ( does not specify where)

Italy, Palermo, Diocesi di Monreale, Catholic Church Records, 1531-1998 Image Italy, Palermo,...
Innocenza's parents were the late Leonardo Schifano and the living Maria Ragusa, the wedding was celebrated on the 14th of October 1764 in Chiusa [Sclafani] by the reverend Gioacchino Schifano, the witnesses were Joseph Geraci and the Reverend Rocco Ragusa. The marriage contract is among the deeds of notary Pietro Tortorici

Just to be picky, in Italian the name is Gaetano. The surname is Cultrera.

Did you find another death record for Innocenza Schifano with Leonardo Schifano and Maria Ragusa instead of Mariano and Maria Schifano

No I think it is the right one with the husband being Gaetano Cutrera
