Wondering if anyone can tell me best place to start researching someone’s correct surname
Individual born in Genoa circa 1888
Died in Dundee 1960
Official Census data shows he was born in Genoa
Lived jn same property for decades in Scotland even though his spouse emigrated to Canada in 1927 and listed herself as Widowed
Have possible name for Father - two different Christian names been giving and also name for his Mother but it is also the altered version for surname (Rennie)
Do not know if the parents also migrated to Scotland or stayed in Italy
Helping a parishioner of my Cousin’s church based in Canada
Anything much appreciated

I assume we are enquiring about Dora Rennie, husband of Helen Ryan & son of Agostino & Maria
