Help finding burial records.

Have you seen them all on the 1911 and 1921 censuses? There are some variations in the spelling of Iommi.

I do have the 1911 census, yes still to this day people spell the name wrong.
on Giuseppes death record they have spelt it yommi..

but I know sometimes its Tommi, Lommi and yommi even jommi

if the 1921 census is Giuseppe, Maria, Albert and M cevita yes

what variations do you see?

It might be worth mentioning that I found out yesterday on Giuseppes death certificate that he died of general paralysis of the insane, so he may of been in a mental hospital, and when I asked AI it said something about maybe a different burial for people in asylums?

Hi Suzanneiom, just checking that you have seen the extensive medical records for Maria Yommi (married Roman Catholic dressmaker) of 17 Duddeston Row, in the recently published records of All Saints (mental) Hospital on Ancestry. She was treated there 1912-1913 and then transferred to Rubery Hill Asylum.

Those are the main ones, Albert was listed as Yoimmi on his baptism but they may just be a transcription error.

You have to remember that they possibly didn't know how to read or write and so may not have been aware of how things were being written. Add to that their probable accents and you can see how variations can occur.

There is a death reg. in Bromsgrove 1919 for a Maria Yommi aged 33 and I wasn't sure if it was relevant and Giuseepe re-married.

oh blimey ok that's a real error isn't it... so perhaps the spelling is why no one can find them, its worth a thought..

I haven't seen the medical records, im shocked..... three sets of them lived on duddeston row, they were 22, 24 and 25 but considering the name, they must have moved. This would be Maria Guiseppes wife?

not sure about the Maria in Bromsgrove ..

does it go into any more detail about Maria the one who was treated

Giuseppe re married?? I wondered why Maria didn't register his death.... do you know who he re married and when..
sorry that's a lot of questions...

I don't know if the Maria that died in Bromsgrove district was your Giuseppe's wife. Just noticed that on the 1911 census there is another Giuseppe, listed as Yommi and his wife was also called Maria, so more likely it was her.

Ahead of you. Lol. I tried that yesterday and drew a blank.
Seems MWS did the same
Could look for different spellings though.
 
St Michael's doesn't have a graveyard as far as I know.
I have emailed a Catholic Church in Olton (records not online) which has a graveyard. I know Birmingham residents were buried there as I suddenly remembered my Great Aunt who lived in Ladywood was buried there
I thought it worth a try. Not sure who monitors the emails so we might have a wait.

Thankyou definitely worth a shot….. yes I’m doubtful I will hear back off everyone
 
Also …. I was looking at the image of fox street and duddeston row, where the men’s hostel was.

Fox street is still there in bimingham, am i right in thinking that curzon street is right near by.

But what is duddeston row. I’d like to go up to town and go on the exact road (I know non of the houses are there now. But what is there?
 
This map if rom 1902. As you can see Duddeston Row was a continuation of Curzon St and Fox St ran off it. Possibly became part of Albert St, though the alignment changed...
