Hello Steve,

Thank you very much for your help, no problem how long it takes, though the name you wrote was Turzi instead of Tuzi?  Just a trying error more than likely?

Again many thanks.

Hi Steve

Great thread, just read through the whole thing!

I'm posting more for some tips rather than a request for information. The reason being the only details I have for my Italian ancestor is his name and approximate age so I already know its a needle in a haystack! His name is Domenico Bonino. Bonino I'm led to believe is a Northern Italian name, especially around Piedmont. Not that, that narrows it down much!

I am just wondering do you have any tips on finding out a DOB or birth location? Or where to begin to look. On all the UK census returns it unfortunately just lists "Italy" as his birth location.

Hi,
A needle in a haystack yes.
Very little online here in Italy that is why its Archives or Town Halls.  Without a date and place of Birth I would say impossible.
Is there nothing in the UK that might mention his place of Birth?  Such as was he married in the UK?  Immigration/Passenger Lists to the UK?  Take up UK Naturalazione?  On the census if there were children were they born in the UK or Italy(Birth Town).  Is there anyone connected to him which might throw some light on where he might have born in Italy?

Sorry not much help to you, but whatever info you have or find in the UK, no matter how little, drop me a line.  Remember I am here to research and help where possible and nothing is too much trouble.

Does this sound right given you have age. If so can try and get BC.
Thank you sandiep for your input.
