Lived around Loch and Korumburra. (From electoral records)

Side Note:  On April 1, 1922 (Act No. 13) he married Siciliano Annunziata, daughter of Alfonzo and Macri Giovanna, born on April 17, 1900 (Act No. 58).

Thank you!!

Kez.  Forgot to add that Giovanni was baptized on May 2 at Santa Maria di Merola Church.

Also, I don't know if you're familiar with the National Archives of Australia but here is the link with a little bit of info  on Francesco Domenico Ringeri and a Teresa Ringeri/Raco who comes (in 1949) from Molochio also.  Hope this helps your search.
