Help determining facts including names on certificates.

Post by taxi55 »

Hello. Appreciate any assistance in translating some of the names/facts on the below two records. Looking to at least confirm the name of person who died; parents and husband’s name (and if alive or deceased.) (I can make out some but not all and not sure of the spelling.) Thanks so much!

1817 Record 146 (Teresa D’Avanzo)

1816 Record 63 (Orsola Gaglione)

She was 55, a spinner, and widow of Romano d'Anna

Orsola Gaglione died 24 May 1816
Daughter of deceased (both) Saverio [Gaglione] and Grazia Panciullo(?)
She was 75, and the widow of Pietro Napolitano

Thanks so much T! I had never heard of or seen the name “Tecla” in any of my records research, so thanks for clarifying about the name. (I had “Florio” for the last name - so many issues trying to read the letters!)

Grazia’s last name was another issue for me. I was close to your interpretation. (I had “Paniciallo”.)
