Or do you mean that Anna Orlando was his first wife, who had died before he had those 4 children with Pasqua? It's remotely possible, but not likely. What was Pasqua's birth name? Have you seen her marriage record?
carubia wrote:The record for the amendment makes no mention of the mother's given name. I wonder what it is on the birth records of their first 3 children. So far we know:
She married in 1873 as Pasqua Filarmonica.
On birth record of child Cesare born in 1874, she is __ Armenia, with unknown (to us) given name.
On birth record of child Giuseppe born in 1878, she is __ Orlando, with unknown (to us) given name.
On birth record of child Vincenza born in 1881, she is __ Orlando, with unknown (to us) given name.
On birth record of child Providenza born in 1889, she is Anna Orlando.
On death record of child Giovanna (age 5) from 1889, she is Pasqua Orlando.
It's funny that Pasqua's name was not amended on Giovanna's 1884 birth record. Maybe it was already correct there.
So you can look at the mother's name on Cesare's, Vincenza's, Giuseppe's, and Giovanna's birth records. So far I see Anna only on Providenza's birth record.
As for the 1890 death record for Giovann Sgroi, age 70, maybe there was an older couple Giacomo Sgroi and Anna Orlando who lived in the early 19th c. That Giacomo Sgroi might even have been the grandfather of the Giacomo Sgro' who married Pasqua Filarmonica. Could Pasqua's name have appeared as Anna on at least one record because somene was confusing her with her husband's grandmother? That seems farfetched.
