Hi Steve


I see you are helping with Italian research, I have located a marriage record for my 3rd great grandfather Domenico Salzillo in Santa Maria Oliveto. I am having problems translating it.Is it possible for you to translate it for me if I  attach a copy?

Hi Jim,
See what you mean about trying to read the document.  Handwriting is like a doctors!!
Will read through it and may have a word with an old friend of mine who is probally used to this style of writing.
Leave it with me and as soon as will let you know.

JimGat  -  Jim, sorry not got back to you yet.  Been in hospital (nothing serious).  Get back onto it in next few days.  My apologies.

Refelctor  -  Know the feeling I searched for a few years for my g.mother and then suddenly out of the blue up it popped.  Maybe another pair of eyes might help.  Let me know who and I will  try even though I am in Italy I can access UK records.  No promises.

Regards to both of you

Steve

Mixedupmob,

Just got a reply from Tirano for the marriages:-

De Campo, Martino  born in Tirano and aged 33
De Campo, Marta Lucia born in Tirano aged 23
29/03/1904 in Tirano

Testini, Stefano born in Montagna aged 26
De Campo, Marta Lucia born in Tirano aged 34
14/03/1915 in Tirano

Maganetti, Giuseppe Pietro born in Tirano aged 22
De Campo, Marta Lucia born in Tirano aged 41
25/06/1922

They are marriages after the unification of Italy and so are in what we call modern form and do not show who the parents unfortuntely.

They are self explantary to read and so translation not needed.  Send me by PM your e-mail and I will send them to you.

Steve,
 bit of a long shot here, but I am trying to trace great great grandfather Antonio Bertolini - born in the Lucca region of Tuscany around 1805/1806. As a young man he became a plaster figure maker and took off to England - probably in the 1820's. He was in Hull, Norwich, where he got married and then in Holborn in London, where he lived to the grand old age of 80, passing away in 1885. I have all the England information - it's just the Italian part that I'm missing. There's some background information to be found here - https://www.npg.org.uk/research/programmes/plaster-figure-makers-history.php . Grateful if you can shed some light on this but it's looking like a needle in a haystack to me. Thanks!
