    McKenna Family

    Peter Mckenna appears to be mis-transcribed on Ancestry. He's on volume 6d page 29 and it should be page 269.

    Iommi family

    I can go further if you want but if you'd rather look into yourself that's no problem.

    Iommi family

    A small diversion into your Irish ancestors. I see on your tree that you have Nora Davern's parents as Jermiah and Mary. They are Jeremiah Davern b1865 co. Tipperary, d1951 Cashel & Mary Quinn b1873 co. Tipperary, d1948 Cashel.

    Iommi family

    There are numerous records on familysearch for your wife's Occhetti and Palmarozzi ancestors. There is also a tree. 1910 census gives her Palmarozzi's grandfather's emigration date as 1890 and her (Pizzani) grandmother's as 1906, and her Occhietti grandfather's as 1901 and her (Trama)...

    When the sun is out and in the right place the aerial shots can be surprisingly clear.

    Long Acre

    I think you may have mis-labelled Thimble Mill Lane as Long Acre.

    Iommi family

    Can't say with any certainty because that appears to be the only sighting of him. But people with more than one name didn't always use their first (my nan was Sarah Ann but no one called her Sarah) and foreign names do get anglicized. Also, he was a lodger so wouldn't have filled the census in...

    Iommi family

    Yes, that's right. The Peter on the 1911 census if he's who I think he is was listed as Vincenzo Pietro Donato on his birth record. There was an elder brother also called Pietro who died young.

    Iommi family

    As long as you know that there is some doubt then I don't see any problem. It can easily be changed if new evidence comes to light. Apologies if I'm going over old ground. Taking the relationship - cousin - between the other Giuseppe and Nicola listed on the 1911 census at face value then it...

    Iommi family

    There are gaps in the Italian records so it's difficult to say. Felice could have other siblings which don't show up yet. We know that some of the Iommis returned to Italy at times somaybe Giuseppe returned and died there. The Nicola (Nicholas) that lived with the other Giuseppe may be the son...

    This is Gaetano's record. Note father's name is Giovanni and the mother's name is different but I think too similar to be anyone else...

    Pursall Reginald William

    Born 1905 Smethwick. Can't see a burial/cremation on any of the Bham cemeteries. As he appears tohave live in Great Barr maybe Perry Barr crem. What other info are you looking for? Can see him in 1911 and 1921 when he is with his widowed father and grandparents. Grandfather was a grocer and...

    No death reg. for her up to 2023. Last mention of her in Bham. Only 2 brothers - Giralamo Domenico b1851 & Pietro b1855. Nephews - Domenico, Angelo & possibly Giralamo (it's not clear) - not sure of their father (not Pietro).

    Iommi family

    There are a couple of possible births for brothers of Angelina with a marriage for one of them who subsequently emigrates to the US. His immigration records then mentions 3 nephews. The other possibly emigrates as well.

    Iommi family

    It was on familysearch. The reason I said I was hoping that Felice's father was Giovanni because the birth record for Gaetano Iommi (listed as Tommi) gives his father as Giovanni. However, on the record his mother is listed as Domenico Irpilio. It seems unlikely that there were both a Giuseppe...

    Computer help please 2025

    I broke the screen of my last laptop in a fit of temper. It was quite old/slow and that was part of the reason for my frustration but still no excuse.
