Just a few words on a marriage document

[TerryM]

Please help with the words I marked on this document. Thank you so much!

I'm seeing:

Alfonsina Teresa. Occupation is filatrice.

Elia's occupation I first thought was contadino but on a second look I don't think that's correct.
Mother's first name is Maddelena; last name Sfratta.

Alfonsina Teresa Marasco

Not sure about the occupation.

Thank you Biff and Erudita! Makes sense that his mother was Maddelena since he has a daughter of the same name. In fact I found the daughter on this next attachment but there is an odd notation on her entry and on 4 other entries on the page. It is only on female passengers and looks like "96a". Any ideas as to what it means? Thank you!

It's "Ma", short for Maria

[TerryM]

Thank you Livio! Is the underlined "a" between "Madd" and "Chiella" an initial for an additional name? Are there birth records for Postiglione on Familysearch or Ancestry? I can't find any there.

Hi Terry

No, it isn't. It is an abbreviation for the name Maddalena. (Just like "M" little raised "a" is an abbreviation for Maria.) I notice that there is also a middle name "Ant" (No 455) which would be an abbreviation for Antonia, I would suggest.
