As an aside, I note "Ice Cream" and "Largs" mentioned.  May I enquire if these folk were connected with the famous ice-cream parlour of "Nardini's" situated in Largs, Ayrshire, which still trades to this day?

Not that has been determined so far, but you never know. Do you know whereabouts in Italy the Nardini family came from?*

* Tuscany I believe

Yes, that is correct. Pietro Nardini, the founder, arrived in Scotland from Tuscany, in 1890, see

Actress Daniela Nardini is his grand-daughter.

I had to google her, but yes, I've seen her in a number of TV shows.  :)

It is likely that the families knew of each other, but don't know if it extended beyond that. :)

Hello I have a link with a Nardini family from Castelnuovo in Italy (I think) I'm not too sure if it's the same as you but I see in your places of interest you have Haverfordwest I too have Haverfordwest also Cardiff . My Nardini's are Maria Rosa, Luigi, and Carola Nardini. Maria Rosa married a Nicola Esposti in 1895 They sold Ice cream in Cardiff. Could this be the same family do you think?

I actually missed the original enquiry about the surname Nardini to which I apologise.

From memory (as I can't now remember who I was trying to help at the time) but I don't recall the surname Nardini being on that census record.
