    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).

    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...

    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.

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    I have a few more interesting bits of info - about some of your grandfather's Salmon cousins and a Myers cousin - but I'll hold off for a bit.

    Iommi family

    If they were married in 1869 seems probable that there may have been other children than the ones we know. Though the may have died young. May have found a possible birth record for Felice, though with the name variations can't be sure. And it's just a transcript with no scan unfortunately to...

    Ratchford, Harry

    As they didn't marry until 1893, it is possible that Harry was the illegitimate son of Emily. There is a birth for a Henry Daley reg. 1892 Aston.

    Can't remember if it's been mentioned or has already been seen but there appears to be a Will/Probate for Isaac Myers on Ancestry - Diocese of Lichfield & Coventry 1848.

    Driving must have been a joy 'back in the day'. I enjoy driving but at times it is frustrating to say the least.

    Iommi family

    Hopefully Felice's father's name will be Giovanni. As Janice said not all the alien arrival records are online, so there still may be something but again it may be a case of having to wait.
