I also thought the age of the child was 1 year, but the clerk changed "anno" to "anni" so I'm guessing it's more than 1 year... :-)
Closest guess might be "nove" or 9 years old. I guess you'll have to look for a birth record in two different years :?

Thanks for the tip, Tessa! I have her birth year as 1848, but that was info from a cousin so its possible it's 9 yrs old. I'll find her birth record to confirm :-)

I believe that it is the other way round and the clerk changed "anni" to "anno". The typed word is "anni" and there's no need to change it since "di anni uno" is correct in Italian.
