Sp. Enrico Belluomini & Maria Biancalana

He was born 10 Jan 1886, she was born 8 May 1892 in Oakland, CA.

Amadeo Passaglia died in Illinois on 15 Sept 1963, buried in River Grove. He was naturalized there in 1943.

Looks like the couple can be found living in San Francisco on the 1940 census with the name Edward & Annie Passaglia living with daughter Mary Propery, sons John and Martin "Passsaghia"

So, this is why we are stumped.
They said that his last name was corrected to Passaglia. The birthdate states May 22, 1919 but, his obituary and family members state his birthdate as April as do his draft registration cards.

It looks like the wife is Anna Stopaso

Perhaps it's an I (i) instead of an S. The handwriting seems to look like the I in Italy.

Itoposo?

Their surname is obviously not Pasagotia and it was later corrected so I wouldn't give too much thought into what is written for her surname here. The marriage records above are clear. Normally it could be the surname from a first marriage but given her age I don't expect that to be the case. I expect "Pasagotia" came from Passaglia said with a heavy accent and there was likely a mark on the L that resembled a "t" cross.

I would say the only other slight possibility is that the first Anna that he married in 1909 died between then and the birth of Martin and he married again to another Anna. I'm considering this because there is a 7 year gap between the birth of Martin and the next youngest child, however his birth record indicates that this is the third child born to the given mother. I will keep searching but I think this is only a small possibility. Additionally on the 1920 census and onward, California is given as the birthplace of Annie just like it would be if she was the same as the 1909 Anna. There's an age discrepancy on the 1920 census for her but I think this is just an error as it is approximately the correct age gap between her and her husband on other forms.
