The surname is Bonny, & according to the censuses, he was born in Italy. I would be grateful if someone would have a go at what the first name might be.
(Ancestry have him as Saccrdote & Sacerdole, so not much help there!)

Hi Betty
Where did the child of Sacerdote get married?
There were many Italians in the Holborn and Clerkenwell areas of London.

Isn't it a funny name? I wonder how he pronounced it? Sounds a bit like Austrian chololate cake - Sachertorte! ;D

Sacerdotus was, I think, the Latin word for a Priest.

Apparently it's sasher-doh-tay

Italian pronounciation at the bottom - beware it's quite loud

At last I've got an interesting name in my tree, it makes a nice change from Thomas & William ;D
Coombs, his daughter married my great uncle in Ramsgate. He was from Nottingham, she was from London, although in Margate for the 1891 Census.
