Yes, I think this is what I am looking for. I did have the name of Michael as husband of Marie Santa.

According to my husband's aunt, (one of Giuseppa's children by second marriage) Michelangelo died young by drowing-Guiseppa was only about 8 months old.

I looked on the death index for the death record of Michelangelo didnt see it
Caltanissetta > Marianopoli > Indice Annuale Morti > 1885 on ancestry.com they have alot of records of Marianopoli with a subscription
