His wife and young children appear on the 1881 census, he is absent, presumably at sea.
I think the US info is, as you say, purely conincidental.
I did look on Family Search for a baptism but without luck.
Where else can I look?

Europe / Help needed with Portuguese ancestor
« on: Wednesday 20 August 25 18:21 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm researching a Jose Antonis Ennes, a sailor who lived in Newport and Cardiff in Wales, but was reported to be from Lisbon originally. Ancestry have his marriage cert to Mary Ann Jenkins on which his name is written as above, in addition to the the anglicised "Joseph Ennis". The cert also gives his father as Joseph, a merchant. He was born in 1848. He died in Wales in 1897. A number of shipping records on Ancestry also list his name in the Portuguese version and his birth place as Lisbon.
I've never had to research in Portugal before, any help would be much appreciate.
thanks!

In case anyone else is interested in this family, I got the wedding cert. for Peter Fiorentino and Rose Chandler - married in registry office, 1885, fathers SALVO Fiorentione [sic] a mariner, and Henry Chandler, a mason. Ages 30 and 20, bachelor and spinster.
So if Salvo was Peter's father, it looks like Salvo (aka Samuel) Fiorentino married to Mary Cath. Hyde might have been Peter's brother, since both couples were managing the boarding house at 151 Bute St during the same period

1921 Rose Florentine a visitor in large household in Morlais Street, Cardiff. Widow, age 58 and 7 months. Maternity nurse. Born Cardiff. Could this be Rose Fiorentino do you think?

Anna Fiorintine born 1885, baptised 1886 in Roath - FindMyPast has this in their Wales Catholic Baptisms collection. Does anyone have FindMyPast to see the details please?

This from 1897 says that boarding house was kept by Rose Foronentroso - Rosina? Looks like various family members could be running it depending on who's available: https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3267745/3267748/57/151%2BOR%2BBute%2BOR%2BStreet
Sorry, I missed this before. I would say your reasoning must be correct about this. The articles about the murder at 151 Bute St place husband Peter Fiorentino at the boarding house at the same time.
