I've now received half the fiches for 1871 Liverpool Islington District and - needless to say - I haven't yet found my elusive Ferrie/Ferri family. Let's hope that they are in the 2nd batch when they arrive. Here are some persons of Italian birth found in the census. I'll be posting these to the Anglo-Italian Database of course. The handwriting is truly terrible on this census, so I've had to go for phonetic or 'nearest fit' wherever possible - some of these are bound to be wrong, but if they sound like the names could be close to someone you are interested in, let me know and I'll take another look. Asterisks mean that the letters are beyond transcription. To save space, I haven't entered families if not born in Italy - again, if these are 'yours' I will fill in the gaps if requested: 17 Hood St, Lorenzo ?Gobbi, 48, Hotel (worker), born Italy 17 Hood St, John B Ve*, 39, Cabinet Maker, born Italy 17 Hood St, John Gotti, 23, No Occupation, Italy 17 Hood St, Satanzia Radaelli, 45, No Occupation, Italy 6 Bryth* St (near Theatre Royal), Michelo Amorosa, 28, *onist, Pal* Sicily 43 B*port St, Fredrico Preto, 33, Occupation Indecipherable, Milan Italy 40/42 Lord Nelson Street, George E Maralsissa, 53, Passenger, Italy (this would appear to be a lodging house with passengers awaiting a ship) 6 White Mill St, Dominco Zanetta, 34, Picture Frame Maker, Italy 6 White Mill St, Antony Mitheli, 54, Figure Maker, Italy 7 Lionel St, Luis Borusy, 40, Musician, Parma, Italy 9 Lionel St, Luigi Bripalase, 48, Ice Cream Maker , Genoa, Italy 9 Lionel St, Luigi Gannini, 32, Licenced Hawker, Genoa, Italy 9 Lionel St, Castor Sasso, 31, Musician, Genoa, Italy 9 Lionel St, Nicolo Gallaio, 20, Musician, Naples, Italy 6 Lionel St, John Granall, 36, Model Moulder, Parma, Italy 12 Lionel St, Louis Backagallapi, 32, Musician, Genoa, Italy 52 Hunter St, Ignatio Gulasse, 44, Shipping Agent, Italy More to follow.
