Place of birth of Grandfather

[shaunfriend]

My wife is trying to find the place of birth of her grandfather Georges (Giorgio) Innocenzo which could be in Italy or Egypt. We believe he was born 28th December 1890 and died 3rd May 1943. My wife’s father , Emilo Laurella, an Italian citizen, was born in Cairo 20 th November and died in London on 3rd May 1943. Any help in locating her grandfather’s place of birth (or death) would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Shaun,

Even though I'm a year late on this response, I hope you are still active on the forum.

Your wife's grandfather was born 28th December 1889 in Cairo Egypt. He was named Innocenzo Maria Giorgio Laurella. His parents were Giovanni Laurella and Maria Zahra. The link below is his birth record but you'll need a free FamilySearch account to access. The side note gives another cool fact to his life - he was married in Cairo on the 9th of January 1925 to Bertha Mongal?? (not sure of spelling)

In case you are interested but this link is the marriage of Innocenzo's parents in Cairo 26th December 1888 - left page bottom - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... 6145&i=155

Enjoy.
