Michael Bourke m Giuseppina Lanfranchi...Post completed, please close

My sister-in law's family

A few posts in one but you have to start somewhere 

Is it possible to tell me when & where these events took place?

Q1...Giuseppina (anglosised to Josephine) Lafranchi, who married Michael Bourke.... when/where

Q2...Her mother was Marghertia Filippini married to Andrea Giovanni Lafranchi. when/where

Q3...Andrea Giovanni Lafranchi b.01DEC1838 Coglio, Switzerland, d.15JUN1897 in Australia where in Australia did he die?

Q4...Margherita (Filippini) Lafranchi b.02SEP1852 in Cevio, Switzerland, arrived in Australia from Switzerland on 27th July 1872 on the Somersetshire, disembarking at Melbourne, and applied for Australian citizenship on 2nd June 1909, and was granted citizenship on 16th June 1909.  I don't know whether she was married or not when she arrived in Australia, so could have arrived as either Filippini or Lafranchi.  Her application for Naturalization states that she has 9 children (7 girls, two boys) and she is a widow and they all reside at Mount Prospect.
Does she appear in a census with her children and was she married when she arrived in Australia?


Andrea Lafranchi's parents were Giovanni Giacomo Lafranchi and Maria Domenica Adami. 

I think Giovanni's parents were (Giovanni) Giacomo Lafranchi b.12MAR1759 and Giacomina Piezzi who died 1808.

(Giovanni) Giacomo Lafranchi's parents were Giuseppe Antonio Lafranchi and Domenica Fassora (?).  The Lafranchi's all seem to come from Coglio, Switzerland.

Thanks

If you put Lafranchi into the following search engine, you'll find some arrivals in Victoria.
