I am confused because in a previous marriage record her parents are listed as Vincenzo Miceli and Febronia Di Giorgio and was born in Montagnareale. However, this record of her death in Patti states she was born in Patti and
her parents were the late Giuseppe Miceli and and I cannot understand the writing for her mother ( Signora il nome ?????).
I know this is the correct death record because it lists her as widower of Giuseppe Crifo.
What should I do as far as these conflicting records?
The link to her marriage record is in one of the above parts to this post. Here is the link to her death record.

I found a birth record for Giuseppa Miceli in Montagnareale March 25, 1821. Lists a Vincenzo Miceli and a different mother - Febronia Blanco ?
Can anyone make any sense of all this?
Thank you.
The death record you have posted reads daughter of ..."d'ignota il nome e cognome" meaning the first name and surname of mother is unknown. Could just be that the persons declaring the death did not know her mother's name
At the least there seems to be some confusion over her mother's name...
EDIT TO ADD:
I found in interesting listing in the ten-year index for deaths in Montagnareale

There is a listing for an
Antonia Blanco Di Giorgio - maybe Febronia also had these
two surnames (which is not that uncommon) - and that is where the confusion originates!?
Here is the link to the index for the "D" - second line in the second column
Record is listed as #9 in 1886, but I was not able to locate it...
