battista
Had look at Familysearch to see I could get the Birth certificate, but nothing came up. Have now e-mailed Archivo di Stato Frosinone for the certificate. Sometimes people put down Birth in ...... and then .............. I have an ancestor born in Bury, Lancashire and in some documents it says Radcliffe, Lancashire. Next door to each other.
Confused here about Elizabeth Ellen Lawson. You say he married her in 1885 and in the 1881 Census there is a Lizabetta Lawson, which is probally the same person. He married after 1881 and so don't follow that track.
Wil let you know as soon as I get a reply from Frosinone and will translate if needed.

Hey Steve,
Thanks. Yea, I figured it was probably just that for the case of birthplace.
As for the marriage, I know he married an Elizabeth Ellen Lawson from England in 1885. However, in the 1881 census, he's married to a Lizabetta Battista whose birthplace is listed as Italy. Giovanni and Lizabetta are listed as being married in 1881, yet his marriage to Elizabeth is actually 4 years later. I believe Lizabetta Battista and Elizabeth Ellen Lawson are the same person.
However, my nonna, does not believe this. So, she's specifically asked me to find a marriage certificate to a Lizabetta from Italy
(which I'm sure doesn't exist).
