Translation help Italian

Question

I need some help with translation here. I am getting a couple Francescas mixed up. 

So far this record I have 

In Villa di Chiavenna, Francesca Tam, aged ?, farmer, resdient of Villa di Chiavenna, born in Villa di chiavena, the daugher of Guglielmo Tam, a farmer, living in Villa di Chiavenna, and Giovanna Folladori, a farmer, living in villa chiavenna was a widow of Domenico Giacomini. ^[1]

Can anyone read the age?

Answer 1

This reports the death on 29 Jan 1902 of Francesca Tam, age 65, farmer, resident in Villa di Chiabenna, born in Villa di Chaibenna; daughter of the late Guglielmo [Tam], who was a farmer and lived in Villa di Chiabenna, and the late Giovanna (or maybe Giacoma) Folladori, who was a farmer and lived in Villa di Chiabenna; widow of Domenico Giacomini.

There is a good space on WikiTree devoted to Italian record extraction: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Extracting_Information_from_Italian_Records

Also, the BYU Italian record resources are back online and available: https://script.byu.edu/Pages/the-italian-documents/the-italian-documents(english)

If you need more help with reading Italian records let me know.

Answer 2

I think “sedici”, or sixteen.

Edit (Oct 4th) ...

I looked at the wrong record ... I agree with the readings above and below.

Answer 3

65

It also indicates that she was already widowed at the time of her death.

Hope that helps!

Thank you - now that you have told me I can see it clearly.  I have a couple more where the writing is so faint I cannot read them. Would you mind helping me?

Yes, happy to take a look at them sometime over the weekend.

Answer 4

Hi
It's "sessantacinque", so she was 65 years old according to the register of death.
