The Soldiers Effects for Frank Spence (transcribed as Speuee ) lists Sister & Sole Legatee Mrs Georgina Birmingham.

and there is a marriage Q4 1898 Wandsworth for a James BURMINGHAM and Georgina BATTISTA which is a possible?

The parish marriage record is on ancestry and says she was 20 and her father was John Battista, a tailor.
The witnesses both had the surname BURMINGHAM

I think the photograph of the F Spence from the KOSB is perhaps a different man as he was a PoW, and F Spence of the Middx Regiment G/11713 has no other service No's listed (his medal card is under Frank Spencer)

His service record is online includes a list of relatives 

Father G Battista Deceased
Mother EAE Battista Deceased

Siblings:
P Battista 40 Royal Navy
W Battista 22 Royal Navy
J Battista 20 Northumberland Fusiliers

Sorry 

I haven't been able to add anything to this since the very early pages but have been trying to keep up - so apologies if I've missed something - but I don't think E Moralee is one I've seen before.

Looking again I think it could be EA Moralee, and although I may be going off on a completely unrelated tangent there is an Ethel Ann Moralee in Jesmond in 1911 born South Shields:

Baptism at St Hilda's, South Shields 4 Jan 1882 (born 14 Dec 1881), parents John & Annie Elizabeth

MORALEE, ETHEL ANNIE mmn MARSHALL - GRO Ref: 1882  M Quarter in OF SOUTH SHIELDS  Volume 10A  Page 662

If she's related I can't for the life of me figure out where or how!

35 pages and 310 replies, plus a few of my distant relatives popping in! When I first posted this, I never thought there'd be so much information on the Battista family or locating living descendants. Thanks to all who have contributed 

I've managed to get my hands on some original birth, marriage and death indexes from Cassino (San Germano). Unfortunately, births only go from 1809 - 1865, marriages 1809 - 1849 and deaths 1809 - 1839. While this won't be helpful for Giovanni, there are a lot of records here pertaining to Giovanni's birth, all of his siblings and potentially cousins, aunts, uncles, parents.

I've uploaded it to Google Drive, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qBngJ6K-gRv-BVUu4z0ILk7eQb2dGHfm?usp=sharing

Moralee doesn't sound familiar to me, although, this thread is very long.

Whoever Miss/Mrs Moralee is, she is listed as a full-blood sister of Frank Vincent 'Spence'.  I'm hoping someone else can shed some light, or tell me I'm misreading it, as I'm mystified!

Ethel Annie Moralee's father petitioned for divorce due to her mother's alleged adultery with a John Edwin Starling.  I can't see any Battista connection.

Wasn't there a sister called Elizabeth Ann?  There is a birth reg
Q4 1886  Tynemouth for Elizabeth Ann Battista, MMN Lawson

though I am struggling to find a marriage
