Diamanti/Guarnera/Criscoli

[KGarrad]

I start with FreeBMD, simply because I am more used to it than GRO.  For this search I made the assumption that events were in Lancashire, then I used just a fuzzy search for a forename (Rosa, Rosina) or surname (Guaneri, Guarni, Crisco, Criscoli etc) with a spread of a few years, copied and pasted the whole lot into Excel, then sorted the results by surname (or forename) and scrolled through until I found a possibility.  I find this a lot easier than scrolling through FreeBMD which sorts by quarter then surname - it's quicker and I'm less likely to miss an entry.

Did you know that there is a "Download" button on FreeBMD?!
It will download your search results into a text file (.txt).
Not difficult to paste this into Excel

Keelan, I can't reply to your pm but I am happy to share what I have tho since my divorce I have passed on most of my chriscoli stuff. They haven't had anything to do with my children so it's not wanted by them.
My inlaws still live on school brow where rose lived
I know a fair bit of her character as well as dates and I don't think you will find a marriage record!

Do you use social media?
I do

Keelan, I can't reply to your pm . . . . .

You need to have made 3 posts (which you now have!) in order to get the PM system to open up to you.
It's to stop casual visitors stealing identities, posting spam, etc.

Rosina was born 1872 in Manchester, to an Italian family
She married at 16, I have a copy of the cert
She had it tough, her husband Gesuele, which is Gesuele, Jesus, was prosecuted by the NSpCC for abuse and neglect of his older sons
He was living in Rhyl at the time, with another woman while rose was living with other kids and another man

Other Guarneri s were in Yorkshire, Anthony and Angelo s families
I found some on social media. Seems to be just two Guarneri/ Guinari families in England
I couldn't find them on one of the census records and rumour has it that they were in Dublin for a while so it could have been then

Rose had a son Vincent who was rather deformed
I can't find a birth record or baptism for him but on 1911 census it says he was born in Italy
Did they go back?
Vincent lived on school brow, owned the house his mother lived in and the one next door
Chriscoli's still there
Angie s family lived across the road, wife Ethel still having children when her grandchildren were being born
Lots of fighting and arguing, a very aggressive family

Vincent had a daughter Rita who is now 85
Her real name is Laura Rose after both grandmothers but rose had said it should be rose Laura as they were living under her roof
Vincent's wife jessie(Gesanella Ballarini) said that the child wouldn't be called after either and from then on would be known as Rita
In this way, Jessie was able to call the child after her own mum in a different way cos even tho her name was Laura her name was Lauretta pronounced lau rita

One of roses daughters with Ferdinand/ Fortunato Diamanti. Was Teresa, she had a child Gloria, when single,
She married someone else who wouldn't take the child and as she was only six months younger than Rita, Jessie brought them up together
All the family were very small, I have a couple of photos of Lawrence, Vincent, Philly, chrissy
