Sicilian Death Record

Post by CaterinaT »

Hello,

I am not sure who this death record is for, or what information it contains? Any help would be appreciated!

The second attachment may be a second page for this document, or the marriage bann or baptism announcement I posted earlier???

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide,

Caterina

The bottom page is the death record of Maria Friscia. The top page does not belong with this document. It shows witnesses produced by a person with the surname Caruso.

The death of Maria Friscia took place on Oct 3, 1855. She was age 76 and the widow of Vito Triolo. She had been born in Menfi and was an artisan by occupation who was living in Menfi on via Orfani.
She was the daughter of deceased Francesco (Friscia) and also Rosa (no surname given for her). I cannot determine from the record if Rosa was deceased as well. She could possibly have been in her 90s and still alive when her daughter died.
