Death record Clementina Catalano need translation

Post by lilbees »

This is not a very good copy of the record. Very faded and unable to really discern the appropriate information. The indices indicates father-Salvatore, mother-Angela.

Death year 1879

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Marty. The mother's name is Angela Mauro. I knew this was tough but you did much better than I.

Thank you again.

Clementina was age 44, not 54, and was the wife of Liborio Coffaro. I believe she was a cucitrice, or seamstress

Calogero's surname looks like Astuto.

The reporting of the death took place on the 6th of the month of Feb at 9 a.m. (the word minutes follows this, but there doesn't appear to any number there). The death took place on the 5th of Feb at 6 P.M. Record # 20.

The other thing is that the death took place in the town of Grotte in Agrigento Province. That is the town which communicated the information about the death. The informants were in this town as well. Clementina was living in Grotte but had been born in Lercara Friddi.
