Help with birth record w/o mother

Daughter Maria Migliaccio. FS indexing says Father is Giocomo, but I read the annotations well enough to understand. Hoping to get an age or an address or some other collaborating information to see if matches another Giacomo.

Rosalia vs Lillian

I've noticed a few ancestors from Sicily were born Rosalia but used Lillian or Lillie as their name, especially after arriving in the US.

Is that a common name change/substitution? Obviously not probably as normal Giuseppa->Josephine.

Need help reconciling two death records

I haven't come across many Parte II records and these both appear to be for the same person (Anna Tripoli), on the same year (1913) with the same parents (Francesco Tripoli/Girolama Agnello) and husband (Ignazio Tripoli), but different dates. Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Re: Looking for an ~1866 Birth Record from Bagheria

Thank you!

I should have been more clear - Rosalia was age 24, born in Bagheria when was married Domenico in Santo Stefano Quisquina. Domenico was born in Santo Stefano Quisquina.

Do you think it's likely the records are lost or just not available online?

Handwritten death record

Lower left - looking for Salvatore Corso, son of Domenico and Maria Angela Cagnina - did I find the right one?

If so, other details appreciated!

Two surnames?

I've seen several Sicilian names appear to have two different surnames

For example: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/GGF6-58B

Has "Massaro Cenere" listed as the surname in some source, and just Massaro in others.

Another example: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/G6N5 ...
