Antonio D'AMBROSIO born 1855 in italy. In 1881 I have him in London with who I think are his two brothers Angelo and Goivio in lodgings. I found him in 1901 with wife MINNIE in Rickergate, Carlisle. Thought this was possible as he was a street musician. I have not been able to locate him in 1891 or his marriage. Is Minnie a nickname as she too was born in Italy. Hi Margaret.....Perhaps as a street musician he traveled around to tourist areas? I found this: March Qtr. 1898 ANTONIO D'AMBROSIO & CATERINA CERVI Registered at Bath 5c 927 And as a long shot: September Qtr. 1885 ANTONIO D'AMARIO & VOLANTE MARIA GIUSEPPA Registered at Tunbridge 2a 1042 Minnie *could* be a nickname for Filomena....although, coming from a large Italian family on my Dad's side, I know that many Italian immigrants used the name "Minnie" for all sorts of foreign sounding first names when they left Italy. I have several in that side of the family. Were there any children with them in the 1901 census? That could narrow down their marriage date. Best wishes....mary lou ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Hi Mary Lou, Thankyou for your imput on my little problem. In the 1901 census Antonio and Minnie had 7 children. The oldest was Lewis aged 14 (born 1886?) down to Julia aged 15 mths. (born 1899?). After 1901 they had 3 more children. 1 being Carlo born 1907 in Leeds. Apart from Julia who was born in Carlisle all the rest are registered as born in Leeds. Carlo is my main line of interest. Thanks again. Margaret. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mlou1173@aol.com> To: <west-riding@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 8:54 PM Subject: Re: [WRY] 1891 CENSUS HELP.
