Title: baptisms St. Peter's / St. David's
Post by: mazzie74 on Thursday 31 May 12 18:52 BST (UK)
Hi,

Is anybody able to check the baptism transcriptions for Catholics in Cardiff St. Peter's and Cardiff St. David's?

I know they have been transcribed up to 1915.

If so, can anybody verify the dates of baptisms of the following:-

1). Mary Catherine Svombo - dau of Lazarus and Anastasia (Annie) Mazzei - born 12th August 1876 (according to birth certificate);

2). Frederick Rocco Bernardi - son of Rocco Bernardi and Mary Mazzei - born 21st May 1878 (according to birth certificate);

3). Annie Maria O'Keefe - dau of Timothy O'keefe and Florinda Mazzei - (I have received a transcription which states she was baptised on 15th Feb 1897 - but as she was born in January 1891, I was wondering if this was a typo and the baptism year was 1891, or if she was baptised late).

4). Bernard O'Keefe - son of Anastasia Ellen O'Keefe - (born early 1911 out of wedlock, but his mother died during childbirth - I was hoping the grandparents still had him baptised).

Thanks,

Darin.

Hi Darin,

I'm hoping to go to the Glam archives office sometime this week - I've only been down there twice before but spent several hours looking up my family baptisms in St Peter's and St David's so know where to look! 

If no-one has replied before then, I'll see what I can find for you.

Hi Deidre,

That would be fantastic.

Thank you very much,

Darin.

Hi again Deidre,

Whilst looking for the above, could you let me know if you come across any:-

Monaghan baptisms (children of Robert Joseph Monaghan and Rosina Mazzei from 1903-1914);
 
or:

Carney baptisms (children of Patrick Carney and Elizabeth Mazzei (from 1906-1914)?

The former lived in Roath, so I am hoping they were baptised at St. Peter's, but the latter lived at Canton so I am doubtful, but it would save me having to re-post a request at a later date.

Thanks again,

Darin.

Hi Darin,

1). Mary Catherine Svombo - dau of Lazarus and Anastasia (Annie) Mazzei - born 12th August 1876 (according to birth certificate); Couldn't find this one sorry

2). Frederick Rocco Bernardi - son of Rocco Bernardi and Mary Mazzei - born 21st May 1878 (according to birth certificate); Couldn't find this one sorry - but did find .. 11/7/1880: Felix Peter Paul BERNARDI s/o Rocco Bernardi and Maria Mazzi of Ivor Street. (St David’s)  

3). Annie Maria O'Keefe - dau of Timothy O'keefe and Florinda Mazzei - (I have received a transcription which states she was baptised on 15th Feb 1897 - but as she was born in January 1891, I was wondering if this was a typo and the baptism year was 1891, or if she was baptised late). See below

4). Bernard O'Keefe - son of Anastasia Ellen O'Keefe - (born early 1911 out of wedlock, but his mother died during childbirth - I was hoping the grandparents still had him baptised). Couldn't find this one either sorry

Looking for O'Keefe and Mazzei I found:
4/1/1882: Frederick O’KEEFE s/o Edward O’Keefe and Florinda Mazzi of 51 Diamond Street (St Peter’s)

Then, by accident, I found these at St Peter’s:
22/5/1872: Florinda Mary KEEFFE d/o Timothy Keeffe and Florinda Mazzei of 17 Ivor Street
5/10/1879: John KEEFFE s/o Timothy Keeffe and Florinda Mazzi of 51 Diamond Street
19/12/1883: Thomas KEEFFE s/o Timothy Keeffe and Florinda Mazzi of 33 Emerald Street
15/2/1891: Ann Mary KEEFFE d/o Edward Keeffe and Flora Mazzi of 10 Ruby Street

and these at St David’s:
18/9/1870: Mary Catherine KEEFFE d/o Timothy Keeffe and Florinda Mazzei of 17 Tredegar Street
29/11/1874: Timothy KEEFFE s/o Timothy Keeffe and Florida Mazzi of 17 Ivor Street
12/8/1877: Mary Ellen KEEFE d/o Timothy Keefe and Florence Mazzei of 17 Ivor Street

And a marriage at St Peter’s:
20/12/1869: Timothy O’KEEFFE and Florinda Mazzei (fathers Jeremiah O’Keeffe and Frederick Mazzei).

All above included in case you haven’t already got them.

MONAGHANS (Robert or Robert Joseph Monaghan and Rosina Mazzei):
1/4/03: Lilian Frances, 51 Diamond Street (mum Rosina Mazzea)
8/5/04: Austen James, 50 Topaz Street (listed as Monnaghan, mum as Rosa Mazzi)
27/5/05: Rosina, 50 Topaz Street
10/11/06: Catherine, 56 Topaz Street
15/2/09: Mary Irene, 56 Topaz Street
25/11/10: Mary, 56 Topaz Street
19/6/12: Mary Elizabeth, 56 Topaz Street

Didn't find any Carney/Mazzei baptisms in either church.

Hope this helps,

Deirdre

Hi Deidre,

Thank you very much for your help,

That is brilliant.

Timothy and Edward O'Keefe are the same person (he is called Timothy on some records and Edward on others that I have also).

Thanks again,

Darin.

I did wonder about Timothy and Edward, esp if you put the children in date order.  :) 

Pleased that no 3 (Annie Maria O'Keefe) is sorted.
