NSW and SA Familles - DEL LUNGO, MERLINO - COMPLETED Thanks

[phillevo]

Hi all,

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. I hope someone might be able to offer some advice on a problem I'm having in tracing these families. Hope I'm not being too confusing here...

Demetrio and Vittoria Del Lungo had three daughters, Vittoria (my GGM), Emma and Antoniette.

I'm looking at Emma Del Lungo who was born in Florence C. 1870 and arrived here in C.1877

I'm informed that she first married James D Marriott in Sydney in 1890 and the had two children, James Marriott B. 1890 and Ellena B. 1893.

I'm informed that she secondly married Bartolomeo Merlino, and that they had Frank, Robert, Harold, Olive and Grace.

I'm told that Ellena Marriott wed firstly Trygve Olsen or Ohlsen and they had three children and then secondly married William Roberts and they had three sons.

I can't find a record of Ellena Marriott marrying anyone in NSW.

I can find a record of an Elena Merlino marrying a Trygve Olsen in SA in 1915 (Reg No: 265/887). I don't know where Elena Merlino was born but am thinking that she might be Ellena Marriott - maybe she went with her mother Emma to SA when she married Bartholomew Merlino and maybe was adopted by him also.

I can't find any record of a marriage in NSW between Bartholomew and Emma, but can find two Merlino births with those as parents in 1902 and 1904 in NSW.

Sorry, hope this makes sense to you.

Kind regards

Phil

Only two children up until 1911:
NSW BDM
18769/1902    Francis MERLINO BARTHOLOMEW EMMA C at SYDNEY
28528/1904    Demetrio B MERLINO ditto at WOLLONGONG

I can't find a death for James. If Emma was Catholic it is possible no divorce, no re-marriage.

Thank you both...

Good thought about Emma being Catholic - good chance as they were Italians.
Possibly she just took Bartholomew Melino's name, do you think?

I don't know where Ellena Marriott got to and all I can think of at this time is that she took his name
also and became Elena Merlino and married Trygve Olsen.

Cheers
