Coletto - Russia
« on: Friday 03 February 12 18:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Iam wondering if anybody can help with the history of this family.

Aaron (Aron) Coletto first appears in England on the 1891 census, by which point he was living in Normanby, Yorkshire, with his wife, Mary, who had also been born in Russia.
Aaron had been born around 1867 and Mary, around 1870.
They have a son, Peter, born in South Bank, Yorkshire in 1890.
By 1901, the family had relocated to Birkenhead, and the family now included children, Mary, John and Agnes, all born in Liverpool and Aron, born in Tranmere. Aaron (Aron), and Mary's place of birth is now given as Poland.
By 1911, their place of birth is given as Lithuania. Now living in West Derby, a further two children were born; Helena and Josephena, both born in Tranmere.
The couple confirm that they have been married for 24 years, indicating that they had probably married in Lithuania around 1887.
Aaron's occupation was, and had been since the 1901 census, a cabinet maker.

Mary died in 1915 and Aaron died in 1929.

Does anybody know what port they may have sailed into on arrival in England or have access to any shipping lists.
Or any information on the family themselves?

Thanks

Sue
