Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Italy (Br. Sub) 1851
« on: Wednesday 16 August 23 18:11 BST (UK)  »
Good evening,

My 3x gt grandad, came from Italy. He arrived here sometime before 1836, when he married his Irish bride in St. Nicholas' Church in Liverpool. I have not found any records for when/how he arrived.

I cannot get beyond his birth in Italy (Lucca, possibly a surrounding area) and many of the records in Lucca, around this time, have large gaps.

My current question, in a bid to find anything out about his family is:

If Giovanni BINI (John Beney 1851 census) became a Br. Sub (British Subject), what would this involve and can I get details of how he came a British subject? I'm ideally hoping to find father's name, village/town of birth and anything else?

Thanks in advance.

Michelle

One of the other PINDER brothers, William, also served alongside Fred and Albert in the Hallamshire Battalion (1/4 York and Lancasters).

John and I have photos with both Fred and William on.

Hi

Thank you for all the information.
John Bucklow has information about AG PINDER. Yes, he was Fred BINI's cousin. Sophia PINDER (nee BINI), was Fred's Dad's sister.

Albert George PINDER died of Pneumonia in the 3rd Northern Base Hospital, Ecclesall Rd, Sheffield. He is buried in grave 666 Christ Church (Anglican), Fulwood.

Headstone reads: 39 SERGEANT, A.G.PINDER, YORK & LANCASTER REGT., 14.2.1915.

I know that Fred BINI (my great grandfather) was Anglican and although his parents were baptised and married as RCs it appears they fell out with the church at some point.

Hi Dinah and John,

I also felt the Albert Lucas Pinder was a File Cutter, but only from deciphering records/censuses etc. I'm happy to discover more, or that he followed a different profession.

WRT Giovanni BINI, I have only found evidence to support him being a plaster figure manufacturer, despite terrazzo tiling etc being a common profession among the Italian artisans. As far as I am aware Austin (Giovanni's youngest son) was a marble mason, but he did take over Giovanni's Sheffield business after he died, running it down according to anecdotal evidence.

My grandmother told me my Italian 3 x great grandfather did some of the marble carving on Sheffield town hall, but dates prove this could not be the case, so its more likely to have been Austin.

Hi Dinah,

Wow this gets better and better, so we have another cousin!

I have photos of Fred BINI and William PINDER (born BINI), they would be your great grandfather's first cousin and eldest brother. I also have a copy of the obituary of Fred BINI, he served in the Hallamshire Rifles battalion, 1/4 York and Lancaster Regiment. I have Fred's medals from his service in S.Africa and WW1.

I'd love to share photos and stories.

Michelle :)

P.S. Fred was indeed service no. 7076 One of his SA medals states:
