Hi I can't prove but think that the is a chance my Grandfather's father was Enrico GEROSA. My grandfather was adopted but his birth mother registered him with the name Corrie Enrico Clark MARGETTS. She was Louisa MARGETTS and she had him in Sutton Surrey in October 1891. In the 1891 census she was working and living in Oxford. She lived at 10 Bradmore Road St Giles Oxford The only Enrico living in Oxfordshire at that time was Enrico Charles GEROSA and he lived within a mile of where she lived, at 35 Pembroke Street St Ebbe Oxford. Enrico is an unusual name for a country girl to give her baby, so i feel it must have some significance to her. Enrico left Oxford where he was working as a drapers assistant, and by 1896 was married in Reading, Berkshire. He was running a confectionery business at his home at 248 Kings Road Reading. Then in the 1901 census He is the manager of a carpet dept, and his wife Sophia was running the Confectionary business in her own account. They had a daughter Anita Kathleen Gerosa who was born abt 1899. They were living at 286 Kings Road. I have done a family tree as if Enrico is the father with all the information I can find about him included in it. I would love to find a descendant of these Gerosa's to see if we could get a DNA match done. I hope this makes sense. I am also going to post it to the Italian surnames list so I am sorry if you get it twice. Thank you Penny in NZ Descendants of Henry Gerosa This is just a guess and to see how our Corrie would fit in with this family Generation No. 1 1. HENRY1 GEROSA he was born abt 1820 died abt 1879. He married SUSANNA. She was born Abt. 1838 in Birmingham, Wolverhampton Stafford or London?.

Hello list Does anyone have an interest in Giovanni Dominico Bertolini of 34 St Martins Street Leicester Square? He seems to have taken over the hotel in St Martins Lane (Newtons Hotel) in about 1817 possibly from John Baptist Pagliano who certainly had it a few years before. If anyone knows anything about the hotel I would be very interested to hear from you. I know that the hotel got it's name because it had previously been the home of Isaac Newton; the site is now occupied by a Westminster library.
