I think you've misunderstood the post. The picture in post #410 is a picture of the numbers given which can be found on the Bham Archives with another one which is of Gothic Terrace. The picture of Gothic Terrace is shown in the post linked to - post #327.

I think there's a typo for Sarah & Thomas' marriage (1888 rather than 1881?) which threw me, Is that not his death in Aston Dec qtr 1913?

When you say Sarah died when your nan was born. As she registered the birth that's not literal? Was there a marriage for Thomas Roberts and Eliza? Couldn't see anything likely. The only death for a Sarah Elizabeth Roberts of the right age I could see was in Wrexham, so very unlikely...

There are Italian censuses as well, starting 1871. Not sure if they are online anywhere, so it might be case of waiting for them to be digitised. There first 2 or 3 especially would be worth looking at.

I wonder if the witnesses to the various marriages (Elizabeth & children) would reveal anything.

I was wondering the other day why Felice and Angelina's English marriage was in the Catholic records, I'd assume that they would have a Catholic marriage. It may because that the marriage records for St Michael are not online for that time. So that's something you could look for, I am...

That would make sense if she was the one to abandon the family but it was Solomon who left and it was Elizabeth who went to court for maintenance (which we assume she never got). Also if she was worried abut someone following her why did she give the correct place of birth for herself and at...

That makes some sort of sense. She may have just assumed Bermuda was part of America or even that he was American. And I suppose he might have been, born in Bermuda to American parents.

I searched with both but with no luck. Difficult to know which one is correct. If it had been 1901 & 1911 then I'd be inclined to believe the latter but as both should've been filled in by themselves I don't know.

For every mystery solved, another one appears. I did look for Albert on the 1901 census but couldn't see him.

Just speculating but it would seem a bit random for Elizabeth to up sticks and move to the NE on her own, so she probably met Albert locally and then went up there with him. On the 1911 census that they married in 1902 and though there was no marriage at that time I wouldn't be surprised if...

She put Birmingham as her last place of residence on her emigration. Most likely candidate is an Annie Louisa Austin b1877 Aston.

Excellent find. I think she was from Birmingham.

Ooh no, I'd be living in a field. :)

I used to work across the road from a Council depot and when it closed down it was years before they built on it. The reason I heard was that they had to wait in case there was any ground pollution. I think it was the same reason that it took over 10 years for them to build on the old Smith &...

The re-registering and the name change I saw (a third cousin) were different things. Unfortunately, I can't find the latter atm, it may have been in the London Gazette, a government newspaper. Without knowing what records they hold I'm not sure. I can't really think of anything that needs...

I suppose they may be in time. Certain records have limits when they become available, as much as a hundred years for some. I don't know about deed poll. I do remember seeing the report if name change of a distant relative somewhere though. Not sure where but this happened in 1967. You can see...

Further info on Selina's children, this time for John and Alice. It appears that if John did move to the northeast, then he didn't remain there for long as he married in 1918, reg. Dudley. In 1921 they are with in-laws in Rowley Regis and in 1939 he is in Warwick. His death is possibly reg...

Not sure how long divorce proceedings took in those days but I would surmise that with the time frame involved it is probable that Solomon's second marriage was bigamous and, with Solomon in America, likely Selina's as well. As I said on different thread who was going to check. Selina's son...

From their arrival up until 1995 there appears to be 62 Iommi birth registrations (in one form or another) in England. I think I've accounted for all of them except one rogue registered in Hammersmith 1949 - Frederick J Iommi, possibly illegitimate. There doesn't seem to be any other mentions...
