Janet,

I wish I could tell you it was 30 something but it is definitely 3.

The only 'saving' grace is that this is a cholera death.
The cholera deaths are a totally different item.  They are NOT documents but are only an index of the deaths that were reported.  Because there were over 1800 of these deaths in about a 7 week time frame, they were only listed as an index.  As we don't know who reported the birth, there is a possibility that the age was a mistake.  There is also a possibility that the clerk recorded the death incorrectly.

I will add the following to the entry in the database (which will show up on the next update)
'Age 3.  [There is a possibility that his age should be 30 something based on other children born of this same couple.]

I have found two other children for Giuseppe LaSita and Giuseppa Donese: Marina LaSita, born ca 1793; and Giuseppe LaSita, born ca 1805. Over forty years between the births of Marina and Agostino would be quite incredible!
