Hmmm, nice find; so William may be son of Joseph or George?

Could be...if only we had Irish censuses

In the first quarter of the nineteenth century, the six-stringed guitar was introduced into England and one of the best maker of such guitars was Louis Panormo. His father, Vicenzo Panormo (1734-1813), originally a violin maker from Sicily, came to London via France with his four sons. The whole family was musically minded and many Panormos found work in London as instrument makers, musicians, music publishers and composers. There were to begin with Vicenzo’s four sons, Francis (1763-1843), Joseph (1768-1837), George (1776-1852) and Louis (1784-1862), but the next generation, Ferdinand (c.1795-1882), Robert (c.1803-1873), Edward (1811-1891), George Lewis (1815-1877) and Angelina (1811-1900) were also involved in the world of music.

........

When the next daughter, Mathilda, is baptised, the mother is listed as Sarah and the address is High Street, which does correspond to the guitar labels. More children were born to Louis and Sarah and when addresses are given in the baptismal records, they correspond to those on the guitar labels. Why Louis married Sarah Sutton only in 1834, many years after the children were born, remains a mystery.

This Matilda was buried aged 6 weeks in 1819 (Louis and Sarah went on to have a Sarah Matilda in 1821, bapt 1822, who emigrated to NZ).

But I am wondering whether Francis or one of his sons also had a Matilda, the one we see in Ireland, who may also be "Maud"?

Ahh, understood.

Another sighting of Matilda Panormo: she witnessed the marriage of Constantine Panormo and Sophia Crabb, St Pancras, 1836.

Another Panormo in Ireland:

Alexander Panormo and Catherine Matilda Anderson obtained a marriage licence in Dublin in 1824.

Alexander was a Dublin bookbinder, according to this old Rootschat thread:

Thanks so much for all your research.What an intriguing family,I really hope I can connect William
It sounds possible.I couldn't find him on the 1861 census either,or the 1841 on Ancestry
