That's so great thank you so much. I though that was how old he was but thought it was a large age gap!

Names on documents - which way round?

Is there a set way to read names on documents in terms of which names come first? I know usually the surname is first but then if there are a number of names which one is usually the first name? I keep coming across a lot of my family using what I would think is a middle name rather than the first ...

Marriage Record help

Could any kind soul help me with translations on of these marriage documents. I'm struggling to work out any date of births. Also I can see the professions listed on one of the documents but can't quite work out what they are. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Advice on getting records from Domaso in Como

I think I'm at the point where I need to try and get records from my families home town but I'm not sure of the best place to start. I know they lived in Domaso but other than that I know very little. Any advice on the best place to start would be gratefully received.

Re: How to find people who may have gone back to Italy

Thank you Carmine that's brilliant. I've not come across that site before. I have mainly been using Ancestry so far which is good but I'm sure I should be trying elsewhere too.

Yes that Giovanni is definitely Camilla's husband which is why I am a bit perplexed as he is buried in London in the same ...

Re: How to find people who may have gone back to Italy

Thank you Ann that's a good idea. Do you know if I would be able to find death records for people who may have died in the 1930's in Italy or will those records not be available to view yet?

How to find people who may have gone back to Italy

Once again I am hoping someone can help me. I have a few relatives who came to London that seem to disapear once I get to the mid 30's. I am wondering if they went back to Italy and died there. I can find their spouses and other family members buried here in one cemetery but not them.

I am looking ...

Re: Marriage at 15 years old allowed?

Thank you Erudita that's really helpful. She must have had her parents consent in that case. I'm not sure I would be too happy letting my daughter marry at 15 but he seems to have been a famous stage artist so maybe they though he was rich :D

Marriage at 15 years old allowed?

I have a relative who was married in London and then again shortly afterwards in a church in Italy however according to the year of birth I have on the English marriage certificate she would have only been 15. Would this have been allowed in Italy?

I wouldn't have thought it was allowed in England ...

Re: How do I find siblings of great grandparents

Would it be very unusual to marry at 15 in Italy? I have Ugo and Maria marrying in London first when she was 15 years old and then again in Italy shortly afterwards. 15 seems awfully young so I'm wondering if that dates are wrong. Is there anything helpful on here?

Thank you so much

Re: How do I find siblings of great grandparents

Thanks Paola I was just looking at her too. So hard as so many of the names are the same to work out which ones belong to your tree!
