Do all of these records refer to the same person?

Post by Edward Keeports »

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=2046915

On the upper left is the March 16, 1739 death of Emmanuele Pirozzo, son of Ludovico and Rosa Pirozzo, both deceased, of Monreale. He was about 70, which makes his birth year c. 1668-69

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=2046915

On the upper left is the October 4, 1682 marriage of Emmanuele Natale Pirozzo, son of Ludovico and Rosalia Pirozzo, both deceased, of Monreale.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=2046915

Second down on the right is the December 23, 1659 birth of Natale Emmanuele Pirozzo, son of Antonio and Rosalia.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=2046915

Here is the same birth listed in the index.

Are these the same person? If they are, he was 79 at death and not 70 as the death record claims.

The fact that the baptism has virtually the same name as the other two records as well as the same mother's name makes me think it is him, but the different father's names confuses me.

Can someone please help me understand what's going on here?

I think the father's name in the baptism record is Ludovico. The third letter is definitely the letter "d." Also in the next entry, you see the name Antonino. Look at how different the letter A is formed from how the initial letter is formed in the name Ludovico. I think that the name Ludovico was misread when the index was added. and that the records are for the same person.

Thank you Erudita!

Although the other records say Ludovico was married to Rosalia, the only Ludovico Pirozzo marriage I could find in Monreale was to Margherita Cavaleri.

Do you think this is a mistake made by the record-keeper as well?

I honestly don't think that marriage record belongs to your Ludovico. I see the earliest baptism record for children of your Ludovico and Rosalia Pirozzo was Benedetta born Dec 26, 1651. While the record does read that the parents were husband and wife of Monreale, the godparents appear to be from Palermo. The godfather was Onofrio Adornetto, son of dec Pasquale and Rosalia Adornetto. The godmother was Rosalia, Onofrio's wife, daughter of dec Antonino and ? Aguanno of Palermo. So possibly the surnames of the godparents could be a clue for you somehow, and the fact that they were from Palermo. I don't see the Adornetto surname in the marriage indices in Monreale.

I've solved the mystery. The marriage for the Ludovico Pirozzo to Margherita Cavaleri you found IS yours, as he was a widower when he married Rosalia in 1651. I need to take a break because it's complicated to explain how I found Rosalia's maiden name which led me to their marriage record. His surname for the marriage to Rosalia is also misspelled in the index. I'll be back later with the specifics. I need a break and a cup of coffee!

UPPER RIGHT

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=2046915

January 18, 1628 (I think)

Death of Alessandro Pirozzo, age c. 60, son of deceased (record is too damaged to read) of Monreale

Looking closer at his marriage record, it appears his mother was named Eleonora, although I can't decipher the other 3 parental names in the record. The end of the mother's name in the death record seems to read "no_a", which makes me think this is the right person.

Margarita was the daughter of deceased Pietro and living Brigida Caminiti of Monreale. Alessandro was the son of ? (possibly an abbreviation for Salvatore, but I have to give this more thought) and deceased Leonora Pirozzo of the land of Carini.*

* for you info, there is online a website called The Carini Exchange. There are some early extracted church records there, but not for your Pirozzo. However, there is a Pilozzo listed in one of the databases, and also on this website, there is info that Pilozzo was changed to Pirrozzo and also that there were variants such as Pilozo, Pirozio, and Pirozzu.

You have the date correct. Both parents were deceased but the names can't be read on this record. He was about age 60 and the spouse of Vincenza Viola. I believe there is an abbreviation after her name for Palermo.

Ludovico Danzello was the son of dec Paolo and dec Lauria Danzello. Candia was the daughter of Angelo and Francesca Galvano in the city of ? (the Latin abbreviation looks like Mozle to me. I have no idea what that is. I only see a city called Moselle in France).

Here's the link to the index for Paolo Danzello and Laura Siragusa's marriage record dated April 25, 1566.

the marriage record from April 25, 1566; no. 3 right page

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=2046915

Laura Siragusa was the daughter of Andrea and ? Siragusa (I can't read her mother's name).

Paolo, the son of ? I can't read his parents' names at all.
