    Iommi family

It also crossed my mind that his father left and he didn't have a relationship and maybe he didn't want that name. They found...

    I was actually watching about king Richard III they found under a car park and they done exactly that, extracted his dna and traced down 16 lines to present day to identify him. Its a head scratcher why he took the Foster name, im guessing his father wasn't present and he took his moms...

    Just a quick one about Elizabeth nee (smith) who became a pechio, had three kids, then married a foster & then a barker. The son Alfred Henry foster who joined the army and used the surname foster and he wasn’t a foster. Do we know for sure that he was definitely a pechio (perca)

    Iommi family

    When Giuseppe done the article in the paper he was 70 then and in the uk, but I guess if there’s no mention of him here he must of gone back. Shall I put the above record down as his brother for now, as the parents are the same, bar the dad’s name. Like u say I can’t see the mother marrying...

    There are three mysteries still that I would like to figure out. The second Giuseppe we found who was an artists model. His wife Maria died young, there is absolutely no record of his death.
