You are right, the words are "campagnuolo" and "campagnuola". The use of an "u" before the "o" is common at that time, and typical of South, particularly Campania. For instance, you may find "spagnuolo" for "spagnolo", "pignuolo" for "pignolo" or "ferraiuolo" for "ferraiolo".

I have found 4 or 5 other children born to Nicola Dell'Anno but they have a different mother :(

Thank you for the confirmation, and added information, Pippo. I've seen this spelling again in the last couple of days in one of the records here on the forum.

Are you able to post one or two of the records for us to look at?

Angela-

I am so sorry I took a break in research and I am just looking at your message. Attached are 3 other records with the father listed as Nicola Dell'Anno. Maybe you can see some similarities?

Thanks!

Do you see the same name of the mother in any of the 4 documents?

I think the Nicola's in the first and third document MIGHT be the same person.
You will often find slight differences in ages and even first names.
You should look for other documents about this family/thes families to be sure.
For instance, death records of the Schettino's.

All good, Matt. It looks like Livio and Pippo have bet me to it, this time.
