What is the mother's name in Record 61?

Filomena Morra, daughter of Raffaele.

Morra appears in the birth town.

Thanks.

In another document in the U.S. it was transcribed as Maura and I thought that might be wrong.

Yes, it is definitely Morra. I could understand it being wrongly mistaken for Mossa, but definitely not Mauro.

I agree. I think the error was made in America when a relative acted as informant for a death record. The informant either didn't know the actual name or it was misunderstood by the recording clerk.

In other words, the error was likely made verbally by someone, not made by transcribing from the actual birth record I posted.
