Biography

On 4 November 1832, Filippo Demma, age 22 (b. 1810), son of Giuseppe Demma and Giuseppa Battaglia, marries Rosalia Bova, age 19 (b. 1813), daughter of Giuseppe Bova and Angela di Mercurio, in Termini Imerese. ^[1]

Filippo and Rosalia have twelve known children, all born in Termini Imerese: four daughters named Giuseppa (1833, 1836, 1838, and 1843), Agostino (1841), Salvadore (1844), Lorenzo (1846), Luigi (1848), Francesco (1850), Maria Carmela (1852), Angela (1854), and Mariano (1857).

The first daughter named Giuseppa is born 10 December 1833 and baptized the next day.^[2] She is named after her paternal grandmother, as is traditional for the first born daughter. She is presumed to have died before her sister is born in 1836.

The fourth Giuseppa is born 7 May 1843^[6] and baptized the next day.^[7] Because her younger sisters are given other names than Giuseppa, this girl is presumed to have survived.

On 27 January 1850, Angela Mercurio in Bova, age 60 (b. 1790), reports the birth of a boy to Rosalia Bova, her daughter, age 30 (b. 1820), and Filippo Demma, age 40 (b. 1810), shopkeeper, in their home in Termini Imerese on 26 January 1850. The boy is named Francesco Demma.^[11]
