Title: Italy (Br. Sub) 1851
Post by: mich b on Wednesday 16 August 23 18:11 BST (UK)

Good evening,

My 3x gt grandad, came from Italy. He arrived here sometime before 1836, when he married his Irish bride in St. Nicholas' Church in Liverpool. I have not found any records for when/how he arrived.

I cannot get beyond his birth in Italy (Lucca, possibly a surrounding area) and many of the records in Lucca, around this time, have large gaps.

My current question, in a bid to find anything out about his family is:

If Giovanni BINI (John Beney 1851 census) became a Br. Sub (British Subject), what would this involve and can I get details of how he came a British subject? I'm ideally hoping to find father's name, village/town of birth and anything else?

Thanks in advance.

Michelle
