Europe / Re: ITALY name of place help please
« on: Thursday 22 September 16 17:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi Romagna

Thanks for more information. Vincenzo had a son called Guiseppe L Melandri. Guiseppe was born 1846 in Glorie ? Italy. I do not know the exact birth date. He was Vincenzo's son in Italy. I wonder if his name should have also been spelt Giuseppe , like his grandfather ( Vincenzo's father the shoemaker) ?
I have no information on Vincenzo's wife, who obviously died in Italy. Guiseppe L Melandri came to London, I do not know the date , but in 1861 he was living in London. His father Vincenzo was also in London, with his second wife. He married her in 1858. Guiseppe was my great grandmother's first husband. Are you related to the Melandri family at all?

Hi Romagna. This is amazing, and thank you so much for all this information. Your English is very good !! I suppose when he arrived in London with the other patriots he then decided to stay? I wonder what happened to his wife. Do you think that she stayed in Italy? Very exciting having so much information. Thank you again. Libbs

Sussex / Seaford East Sussex - any help please?
« on: Saturday 13 February 16 15:22 GMT (UK)  »
I have recently found my grandfather's brother Reginald Clifford GODFREY died in  a place called Seaford East Sussex. I have just found a burial inscription at St Leonard's Church in Seaford online. I wondered if anyone goes to this church at all, whether they would be willing to take a photo for me of the memorial stone? I have no idea when or why he left Cardiff to move there. If anyone was able to look at obituaries for around the time of his death I would be very grateful, just in case there was one, as it may lead me to more information about him. He died I think on 26 August 1972, and the certificate says at Brighton Royal Sussex Hospital. He was born 2 June 1896. Thanking you for any help.

Thank you so much Valda for such information - I didn't think of the Bristol side. So that will be a huge help as well. Certainly it would be easier to look at Bridgend Library as there are some family members that live near that way so that will give us some new places to look. As we have already done the Cardiff ones !!! Next the Bristol side !


Thanks very much for the help.

Ray  --yes I did a while ago look there and I had no luck there. No you are right we have no idea whether his body was recovered - my mother who is elderly now thinks he might have been - but she is not sure. We tried the various church records we thought might be of use but nothing appeared.

jc26red - thanks but he was never a coastguard he was labourer for a while and a Stevedore and then a Channel Pilot from census that I have found.

Valda - Cardiff Library have no newspaper for that time which is why I looked online at all newspapers for that time in the Cardiff area and weirdly Cardiff Library has none for the time needed - I just found one mentioned online and stating that this Library in London had it.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / British Library St Pancras
« on: Tuesday 12 July 11 11:18 BST (UK)  »
I am unable to find my g g grandfather. He was drowned in late 1850 early 1851 from what has been passed down the family. No one has been able to find a grave/ or anything on him. he was a Channel Pilot and apparently drowned in Bristol Channel. Have been trying to find a newspaper for that time incase anything was written. The only one I have tracked online is one in British Library called Cardiff and Merthyr Advertiser for 1850 -1851.

MASSIVE ASK  -- If anyone is in the Library anytime and ever feels like a look through the newspaper could they please see if anything written on John Williams aged about 25/26 from Cardiff -- Channel Pilot drowned. There was a date of 8th January 1851 - but no one knows where we got that so it might be incorrect( and found nothing on him then)  the year was definitely 1850 late or early 1851 as 1851 census shows his wife as a widow.

I realise this a huge 'ask' but just wondered incase anyone ever goes there and has some spare time hugely grateful if anyone able to help.

Thanks as don't know where else to look for him. having tried all deaths/graves etc. and no sign of him anywhere. :)
