How to read this page

Sex is as recorded in the family tree. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown and may be a range or an approximation. It is left out when a date is missing or is only a “before”, “after” or “between” date, when the research has found a date Unconfirmed, when the two dates conflict, or when they would mean an age over 110.

What the labels mean

Life events

Bornbetween 1844 and 1854, Pescolanciano, Campobasso, Italy
Likely evidence: show why

Why: The records disagree. Aged 30 at his marriage in September 1875 implies about 1844-45; 33 in January 1879, 36 in April 1881 and 42 in January 1887 (his daughters' births) imply about 1844-46. These overlap in 1845. Aged 40 at Lucia's birth in April 1894 implies about 1853-54. The earlier ages agree with each other, but that does not resolve the 1894 age or show that all the records are the same man.

Also recorded asOnofrio Antonio Stefano Mancini
MarriageAddolorata Pellegrino; he was 30, a farm laborer, 16 Sep 1875, Pescolanciano, Campobasso, Italy
Likely evidence: show why

Why: Marriage act 7 of 1875, Pescolanciano: Onofrio Antonio Stefano Mancini, farm laborer, 30, married Dolorosa Pellegrino, 19. Lucia's 1894 birth act names her parents Onofrio Mancini and his lawful wife Addolorata Pellegrino; Dolorosa is taken to be a form of Addolorata. No other marriage of an Onofrio Mancini was found in the Pescolanciano marriage registers searched (1875-1893; four 1880 acts are missing from the scan). The identification is Likely, not Confirmed: his age here (30, so born about 1844-45) does not agree with the 40 given in 1894 (born about 1853-54). A witness of the same name and occupation, Gioacchino Del Matto, town servant, appears in Lucia's birth act; that is weak evidence, since a town servant witnessed many acts.

Likely evidence: show why

Why: Her 1887 birth act names her parents Onofrio Mancini, son of the late Pasquale, and his wife Addolorata Pellegrino, as Lucia's 1894 birth act does, at the same town; his age of 42 fits his other records of 1875-1881. Likely rather than Confirmed. The act calls the mother 'fu Domenico', where the 1875 marriage act names her father Antonio, living; this page is a 1959 copy.
