The only thing I can suggest is that you try and get hold of the Como Birth records at your nearest Family history center and working on his age check through them. I have been able to get quiet a lot of Family records this way. I have no FHC any where near to where I live and had to ask the help of somewone to check out the names. Unfortunatly becuase I could'nt do the search myself I am missing quiet a few but did'nt feel it was right to ask her to check any more.`i have found records for deaths outside of Como town (other villages) but it could be that they were sent to Como becuase the family originated from the town. I also found the people at the archives extremely helpful and they even gave me plans of the houses that the family lived in whilst in Como. Keep at it I,m sure something will come up.
