Iommi family

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.

Francesco iommi who is a cousin of the family (Tony Iommi’s grandad) who married a Maria musticone (but she was already an Iommi)…. who is his father???

Last one. Nicholas Iommi. You guys found his citizenship record (I think that’s what it’s called. He was married to a marionette. They’re both on a census record and I’m sure lived with Giuseppe above for a while. Who are his parents.

I’m still searching for these .
 
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 of Gaetano, there is a birth record of about the right time.

You can easily find out Francesco's father, but it would mean spending money, by buying his marriage certificate.
 
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 the brother before or afterwards lol.

Yes with Francesco as he isn’t my direct line at this stage I won’t spend any money. But I’m going to look at his grave at some point in Witton. :)

He was down on the 1911 census as being felices cousin. But felice was in his 60 and Francesco was 17 so must of been his kids cousins?! But then wouldn’t that make him his nephew… ahhh it’s so confusing!
 
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 would imply that Gaetano & Felice had at least one other brother. Assuming that Nicola is Gaetano's son.

Also on the 1911 census there is a Peter Jommi. He could also be Gaetano's son as there is a possible birth listed for him.

I think that makes good sense!
 
yes ill put that down for now and see if any hints come up also.

I have two Peters on the tree, one born 1925 is the son of Maria and Francesco and then Peter also called his son Peter and he was born 1958. if im right.
 
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.

Did he take his middle name and change it to Peter?
 
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 himself.
