Dear List, This is my first posting to the list. I've been searching for BRAZELLs and others in Bucks, Berks, and Oxon for a couple of years now, but I'm a newbie to Anglo/Italian geneaology, so please don't mind if my question is a bit basic! On a marriage certificate recently obtained, a relative, Molly E., was named as informant on the death of her mother, Ethel Mary BRAZELL, 27 May 1944 in Ealing. Molly's surname on the certificate is, I think, CODRI, which - to judge from the occurence of the name in the 1901 census - is of Italian origin. So I'm looking for Molly's marriage to a CODRI, which is not recorded in the GRO index. Molly was born Dec Qtr 1914, thus the marriage will have taken place between say 1930 and 1944. I have checked the consular marriages for the period (thanks to 1837online.com) and found none recorded. Are there any Italian sources I could consult - without spending a week in Rome (which I would of course love to do :) Paul Brazell Berlin, Germany

http://nils.lib.tufts.edu/4000.01/index.html - insert Italian in the search box Henry Mayhew, London Labour and the London Poor: Volume 3 Ii.-Street Musicians.: Organ Man, With Flute Harmonicon Organ I live in a room by myself with three others, and we pay 1s. each, and there is two bed. If I go to lodging-house I pay 1s. 6d. the week. In the Italian lodging-house they give you clean shirt on the Sunday for the 1s. 6d. It is my own shirt, but they clean it. This is only in Italian house. In English house it is 1s. 6d. and no shirt. I have breakfast of coffee or what I like, and we club together. We have bread and butter, sometime herring, sometime bacon, what we likes. In the day I buy a pen'orth of bread and a pen'orth of cheese, and some beer, and at night I have supper. I make maccarone--what you call it?--or rice and cabbage, or I make soup or bile some taters; with all four together it come to about 9d. or 10d. a-day for living. In the house where I live they are all Italians. They are nearly all Italians that live about Leather-lane and Saffron-hill. There is a good bit of them live there. I should say 200: I dare say there is. The house where I live is my own. I let empty room; they bring their own things, you know. It is my lease, and I pay the rent. It is only the people say that the Italian boys are badly used: they are not so, the masters are very kind to them. If he make 1s. he bring it home; if 3s. or 4s. or 6d. he bring it home. He is not commandé to bring home so much; that is what the people say. I was with the magistrate of police in Marlboroughstreet four days ago, about a little Italian boy that the policemen take for asking money. Some one ask to buy his monkey and talk with him, and then he ask for a penny, and the police take him. A gentleman ask me about the boys. I tell him it is all nonsense what the people say. There is no more boys sent here now. If a boy comes over, and he is bad boys, he goes and play in the street instead of working; then, after paying so much for his coming to England, it is a loss. It does not pay the boys. If I was a master I would not have the boys, if they come here for nothing. Suppose I have two organs, then one is in the house doing nothing. Then some one come and say, 'Lend me the organ for to-day.' Then I say, 'Yes,' and charge him, some 4d., some 6d.; or if somebody ill and he cannot go out, then he's organ doing nothing, and he lend it out for 4d. or 6d. There is two or three in London who sends out men with organs, but I don't know who has got the most of us. Then they pay the men 1l. a-month and their keep, or some 15s. Then, some goes half and keep him: then, it's more profits to the man than the master. Christmas-time is nothing like the summer-time. Sometimes they give you a Christmas-box, but it's not the time for Christmasbox now. Sometimes it's a glass of beer: 'Here's a Christmas-box for you.' Sometimes it's a glass of gin, or rum, or a piece of pud- ding: 'Here's a Christmas-box for you.' I have had 6d., but never 1s. for a Christmasbox. Sometimes on a boxing-day it is 3s., or 2s. 6d. for the day. I have never travelled in the country with my organ, only once when I was young, as far as Liverpool, but no further. Many has got his regular time out in the country. When I go out with the organ I should say it make altogether that I walk ten miles. I want two new pairs of boots every year. I start off in the morning, sometimes eight, sometimes nine or ten, whether I have far to go. I never stop out after seven o'clock at night. Some do, but I don't. I don't know music at all. I am middling fond of it. There is none of the Italians that I know that sings. The French is very fond of singing. When first you begins, it tries the wrist, turning the handle of the organ; but you soon gets accustomed to it. At first, the arm was sore with the work all day. When I am playing I turn the handle regularly. Sometimes there are people who say, 'Go a little quick,' but not often. If the silk in front of the organ is bad, I get new and put it in myself; the rain spoil it very much. It depend upon what sort of organ he is, as to the sort of silk he gets: sometimes 2s. 6d. a-yard, and he take about a yard and a half. Some like to do this once a-year; but some when he see it get a little dirty, like fresh things, you know, and then it is twice a-year. The police are very quiet to us. When anybody throw up a window and say, 'Go on,' I go. Sometime they say there is sick in the house, when there is none, but I go just the same. If I did not, then the policeman come, and I get into trouble. I have heard of the noise in the papers about the organs in the street, but we never talk of it in our quarter. They pay no attention to the subject, for they know if anybody say, 'Go,' then we must depart. That is what we do. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I was sent this interesting URL http://nils.lib.tufts.edu/4000.01/index.html Insert Italian into the search facility and it produces several fascinating write ups. - I shall forward some of these to the list then they are recorded in the archives. Henry Mayhew, London Labour and the London Poor: Volume 3 Gun-Exercise Exhibitor--One-Legged Italian. I AM an Italian, domiciled at Genoa, and I speak very little French, only just enough to ask for things--to get my life with, you know. Genoa is the most rich town of Piedmont, but it is not the most jolie. Oh no! no! no! Turin is the most beautiful, oh yes! It is a long street of palaces. You know Turin is where the King of Sardinia, with the long moustaches, lives. Has Monsieur been to Turin? No! Ah, it is a great sight! Perhaps Monsieur has seen Genoa? No! Ah you have a great pleasure to come. Genoa is very rich, but Turin is very beautiful. I prefer Turin. I was a soldier in my country. Oh, not an officer. I was in the 2nd battalion of the Bassolein, nearly the same as the Chasseurs de Vincennes in France. It is the first regiment in Piedmont. We had a green uniform with a roll collar, and a belt round one shoulder, and a short rifle. We had a feather one side of our hats, which are of felt. Ah, c'était bien joli ça! We use long bullets, Minié ones. All the army in my country are under four brothers, who are all generals, and Ferdinando Marmora is the commanderin- chief--the same that was in the Crimea. Nearly all my companions in the Bassolein regiment were from the Tyrol. Ah, they shoot well! They never miss. They always kill. Sacré Dieu! I was wounded at the bataille de Pescare, against the Austrians. We gained the battle and entered the town. The General Radetzky was against us. He is a good general, but Ferdinando Marmora beat him. Ferdinando was wounded by a ball in the cheek. It passed from left to right. He has the mark now. Ah, he is a good general. I was wounded. Pardon! I cannot say if it was a bal de canon or a bal de fusil. I was on the ground like one dead. I fell with my leg bent behind me, because they found me so. They tell me, that as I fell I cried, 'My God! my God!' but that is not in my memory. After they had finished the battle they took up the wounded. Perhaps I was on the ground twelve hours, but I do not know exactly. I was picked up with others and taken to the hospital, and then one day after my leg decomposed, and it was cut directly. All the bone was fracassé, vairy beaucoup. I was in the hospital for forty days. Ah! it was terrible. To cut the nerves was terrible. They correspond with the head. Ah, horrible! They gave me no chloroform. Rien! rien! No, nor any dormitore, as we call it in Italian, you know,--something in a glass to drink and make you sleep. Rien! rien! If I had gone into the Hôpital des Invalides, I should have had 20 sous a-day; but I would not, and now my pension is 12 sous a-day. I am paid that now; whether I am here or there, it is the same. My wife receives the 12 sous whilst I am here. I shall not stop here long. The langue is too difficult. No, I shall not learn it, because at the house where I lodge we speak Italian, and in the streets I speak to no one. I have been to France, but there the policemen were against me. They are bêtes, the policemen français. The gentlemen and ladies all all good. As I walked in the streets with my crutch, one would say, 'Here, poor fellow, are two sous;' or, 'Come with me and have some wine.' They are good hearts there. Whilst I was going to Paris I walk on my leg. I also even now and then find good occasions for mounting in a voiture. I say to them, 'Monsieur, accord me the relief of a ride?' and they say, 'Yes, come, come.' In England no police interfere with me. Here it is good. If the police say to me 'Go on, go on,' I say, 'Pardon, Monsieur,' and move --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Hi Fiona, thank you for the offer, some one has offered to, but has to wait until he has finished the film in his camera. Could I be so greedy as to take you up on your offer just in case! also if there is any doubt about which house then I could have his opinion and yours so one of them is bound to be right. thank you Penny

Hi Penny & Richard from Oxford. Do you have photos of the locations? Let me know if not, & if I can figure out the technology I'll use spouse's digital camera & send on to you. I expect Bradmore Road will still be as was. Pembroke St is probably as was but I might have difficulty figuring out which is the correct house becuase I think (from memory) that all those houses are now part of Pembroke College & the original entrances, though there, are not used.

At one point, I lived on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, Cornwall and there was a Buzza Street (my Italian grandad used to mispronounce it - much to the amusement of the locals - he used the Italian pronounciation whereas the Cornish way was like "buzzer"!!!) there. Don't know who "Buzza" was, but surely someone prominent in the area??!! Sarah Lucia RAPETTI researching RAPETTI and MEANI
