Biography

Francesca Castro is born and baptized on 9 November 1823. She is the daughter of Gaspare Castro and Anna Lucera. Her godparents are Giuseppe and Maria Meli, a married couple.

Another Francesca Castro, daughter of Leoluca, is born the previous day. Their fathers are brothers.

In 1834, Francesca Paola, 11 (b. 1823), lives near the hospital, under the arch with her parents Gaspare Cascio, 67 (b. 1767) and Anna, 45 (b. 1789), and her older siblings Paolo, 30 (b. 1804), Vincenzo, 24 (b. 1811), and Biagia, 14 (b. 1821). The family has lived her since at least 1811.

Gaspare has died by 1836, when her brother, Vincenzo, marries.

First Marriage, to Ignacio Saporito

Francesca marries twice, first to Ignacio Saporito on 2 February 1846. In this record she is called Francisca Paula.

Francesca and Ignacio have two known children, Caterina (1846) and Ignazia (1849).

Caterina is born 30 November 1846 and baptized the next day. Her godparents are Domenico Mangiameli and Francesca's sister, Gaetana Castro, a married couple.

Caterina dies on 31 October 1849, at two years and eleven months of age.

Ignacio dies at age 25 (b. 1824) on 15 November 1849. Francesca survives him.

Their last child, Ignazia is born and baptized a month and a half later, on 15 December 1849. She is named in his memory. Her godparents are Cipriano Collura and Carmela Cannella, a married couple. Ignazia dies on 18 July 1850 at eight months of age.

Francesca and her husband stand as godparents to Stephanus Palumbo on 4 July 1856.

I have found no records of this couple having any children of their own baptized in Corleone.
