In searching for my great-grandmothers sister - Antoniette Del Lungo, I've found a tree on ancestry where the owner says that Antoniette Del Lango married the subject Edward William Welsh born 1852. On that tree they have her as being born in New South Wales. They both appear in England 1891 and 1901 censuses in Lancashire.
I don't know if this is the Antoniette I'm looking for as the tree owner might be getting mixed up, as in the 1891 census she's listed as born in Manchester, Lancashire and in the 1901 census it says born in New South Wales.
The Antoniette I'm looking for was born in Italy in 1867 and came to Australia with the family in 1877. She married here in Sydney in 1883 and had two daughters but I can't find a trace of her after the birth of the second one. I think her husband may have passed away but there is a lot of confusion with his surname. She may well have married and gone to England.
If someone could look at the Edward William Welsh and his wife Antonietta for birth, marriage, deaths etc I'd be very thankful. I can't find anything else on them apart from the two census I mentioned and would like to know what became of Antonietta if she is the one I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance,
Phil

Thanks everyone for looking - in hindsight I maybe should have posted this to the Lancashire board - can it be moved or do I have to make a new post?
Thanks

I've been doing quite a bit more searching, but still don't know what happened to Edward and Antoniette Welsh.
There are 3 births I've found for them:
Harold Welsh B. 17 Sep 1889, Lancashire.
Edith Antonietta Welsh B. 1891 and baptised 28 April 1891
Florence Hilda Welsh B. 15 June 1896, Breck Road, Anfield. The tree I mentioned on ancestry has her marrying a Thomas Gibbons.
I don't know where they've gotten to, especially the parents. :(

Harold Welsh christened 3rd November 1889 at St Peter, Liverpool
Edith Antoinetta Welsh christened 28th April 1891 at St Peter,Liverpool
parents Edward and Antionetta
can`t find Florence Hilda Welsh christening in Liverpool..

Are you sure about Florence HILDA Welsh ???
1896 WELSH Florence E West Derby Liverpool WDM/89/29
This looks like your Florence (West Derby -1896 ) but it doesn`t look like her middle name is Hilda ...could it be Edna and not Hilda ?

Thank you,
I found Florence Hilda Welsh born 15 June 1896 and baptised 1 July 1896 at Everton St John The Evangelist.
Source: Liverpool Record Office, Ref No: 283 BRE/2/1
Found the above on ancestry.
I recall seeing her name as Florence K Welsh also.

Edward W Welsh appears as Edmond/Edmund in 1861 and 1871 but is missing in 1881. That may have some significance.
There is also a child William Henry born abt 1889 Manchester

Thanks for taking the time to look for me - I've been in touch with the grandaughter of Florence Hilda
and she has informed me that there is another child - Doris Ida Welsh born in 1905 with Edward and Antonietta
as parents. She informs me also that Doris Ida is on the 1911 census but Antonietta is not.
Haven't checked myself yet but will do so. This Antonietta could be the one I'm searching for, I'll have to correlate
everything to see what I come up with to try and make sense of it all.
Thanks again

possible marriage
Edith A Welsh

Lancashire bmd has the marriage,
registrar attended or West Derby register office,
-
Thank you and everyone for looking for me - seems like Antoniette disappeared from view altogether or maybe went to
another country.
I'll keep searching but don't hold out too much hope. I'll try to find any living family who may be able to help.
Cheers

The person I mentioned who has a tree on ancestry kindly gave me info from the 1991 England census.
It has Edward William Welsh as a boarder in a house with Caroline R Hobart as the head, address 123 Rawson Road, Seaforth, Lancashire.
Antoniette is not listed, but he has 3 daughters with him - Edith aged 20, Hilda (Florence) aged 15 and Doris Ida aged 6, all born in Liverpool.
Antoniette has disappeared and I can find no more on the fate of Edward.
Thanks everyone,
Phil
