Dear Eunice I am having a similar problem with my Gt Grandparents. I have a copy of their marriage certificate in 1907 Newark, Notts. but have been unable to find out where in Italy they came from. There appear to be no naturalisation records, the record of marrriage does not appear to have been forwarded to their home village/town, they are not on a voters register (that was a long shot), the alien register for 1914 has been lost/destroyed. All attempts to find them via boards have come up with nothing. I have written and phoned many people in different countries with the same surname to no avail. So I believe they were Martians!! In all seriously I am hoping the 1901 may have a clue, if they were in this country at the time. Good luck Simone Searching for Francesco Vermiglio(Veremiglio/Vermillio) and Antonia/Antionetta Fiorese.

Dear Simone Thanks for that encouragement as well ! It is really frustrating isn't it, and as mine are only the grand parents, you would think I could track that down wouldn't you. I am still waiting to hear about the Aliens Register in Hammersmith, but do not really hold out any hope for this, after all, its not far off 100 years old, and I cannot believe the police station would still have records - probably destroyed in WWII I would imagine, but you have try don't you. Good luck with yours - I take it you have tried the Nottsgen mailing list as well?
