Lanni 1891 census Walsll or Wolverhampton

[derekseanbrown]

I think I put this in the wrong county previously....

Could someone please do a lookup on 1891 census for Walsall, Family name of LANNI, Tomasso male  aged approx 51.... Francesca female maybe 40 both born Italy, Francesco son about 16. I have asked for Walsall as a daughter Petronilla was born there in 1891....other area to try may be Wolverhampton where they used to live?............spellings may alter so take care.

Thank you
Sean

They appear to have been around Walsall in 1891 but the birth in 1891 would have been before the census 

Death March atr 1890 
Lanni  Pietruccio
age 9   
Walsall    6b   501

Birth March qtr 1891 
Lanni  Petronella
Walsall    6b   721

They must have only been there for a shortwhile as I can't see them listed.

There are a lot of Italian people listed at an address in Oxfordshire listed as 'not known'

See RG12/1169/4/1

There is a newspaper report on this , they were father & son organ grinders 
OXFORD CITY POLICE COURT .
Jackson's Oxford Journal (Oxford, England), Saturday, October 1, 1892; Issue 7280

THE TROUBLES OF ITALIAN ORGANGRINDERS .
Birmingham Daily Post (Birmingham, England), Friday, July 18, 1890; Issue 10005

An article where several organ grinders were trying to get paid by the person who arranged for them to come from Italy

Yes, that was the family in 1881 in Cheltenham. also the other articles you both have found are def relevant too. Is was Petronella's birth in 1891 that really prompted me to search for her parents and siblings in Walsall in the 1891 census.

Thank you both
