Curcuraci Marriages 1879

[Josie07M11]

I've been attempting to sift through the Messina Villages records over on FamilySearch and I'm finding it difficult to locate the Curcuraci Marriages for 1879. I don't want to cause any time consuming work for anyone, but does anyone know or have seen the records for this town and year? The records for this time period seem a bit scrambled and I feel like I've gone through these 2000+ documents several times, so either it's not there or I'm blind.

Giuseppe Sulfaro and Giuseppa Sulfaro. I'm sure they must have been married in 1879 because their first child (as far as I can find) was born in 1880 and I've searched earlier years and found nothing. They were both born in Curcuraci too, so the possibility of 1879 is high. I could be wrong though

I feel like this is the most likely possibility because their first child Anna was born in March 1880 in Curcuraci, they then moved to Giardini where they had the rest of their children. I also found the birth record for Giuseppa who was born in Curcuraci in 1858. And her death record also notes that this is where she was from. I found a record for Giuseppe too but I'm still not entirely sure it is him yet, but if it is, he also was born in Curcuraci. I guess there is a possibility that they were married in Giardini but as Anna was born in Curcaraci it seems less likely.

This elusive record is still causing me trouble. I've done everything to try to find it. Searched high and low. Just bumping this post up to see if anybody has accessed the 1879 Curcuraci records before. Or if someone could let me know who to contact to get the record. I have tried to contact the Commune of Messina but my emails are bouncing back. (Used the emails listed on their website.)

Thanks!
