Thank again Marty that's so helpful. I think I may have found another daughter they had too. He must have got married again very quickly after his first wife died as he has a daughter with my GG grandmother just two years later!

That would make sense in terms of some of the Ancestry entries. I will see if I can track down when she died. Do you know if it would have been usual for the children to stay with the father and new wife?

Another daughter of Battista Brenta and Maria (I read Iustoni too, a very unusual surname)
Marta Maria
Marries Giovanni Battista Riva (son of Giuseppe and Maria Bonacina, residing in Rancio) 27 Apr 1881. She was aged 26, so born about 1855

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!

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

Kate

The Pubblicazioni for the marriage of Battista and Vittoria Teresa Meneghini, at the Comune of Sondrio, residence of the bride, confirm that Battista's first wife was indeed Maria Iustoni, and that she died 27 Aug 1864
Vittoria Teresa was born in Sondrio 3 Jun 1840
Battista was born in Domaso 2 Oct 1836
