Marriage for Orlsolina found! Giovanna is not described as deceased so may have died after 1905!
St Augustin, North Shields
Entry 410
Francis Spence & Orlsolina Battista
June 3rd 1905
His age: 25
Her age: 21
Bachelor and Spinster
He was a Miner
Residence for both: 69 Linskill Street
Fathers: Francis Spence - Master (Mariner?) & John Battista - Tailor
By Banns
Witnesses: John (D or S?) Douglass & Susan Joyce.
All signed.
Also as a note, I have read over the marriage record for Giovanna and Anastasia for yesterday and it should read that one of the witnesses was William Bell. Sorry, I got distracted by trying to get the RC spelling right I accidentally missed off his surname. The other was 'Maria Joanna Battista'.
Battista, I didn't mean specifically you when I asked for more workhouse information I am just throwing this open to any RootsChatters who may be able to help. I think I will be able to find the admittance records eventually, though perhaps not today. May have to wait a week or two. But I think this was a good idea of Jomot to have raised this again as the records may hold clues.
