Hello,
I am revisiting this thread after posting last year. Ive recently been in touch with a cousin who has given me some extra info and Id love to hear from anyone who knows the family or even better, is family:)

Domino Bagnaro, Ice cream vendor born in Naples in 1887 and died in London 1933
Matteo and Raffaela Cavo [they are mis-enumrated on the 1901 census as Molteo and Raffoda.] Matteo had a cafe and provisions shop in Macklin St, near Covent Garden in the late 1900's. They both immigrated to England from Maiori, near Naples.
Im wondering if they were all en route to the US but decided to stop in England.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Mother and daughter possibly?

Are these two related? Could the woman in the coloured photo be the mother of the one in the black and white photo. Sorry about resolution, its the best I could do.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the info Ian. Hopefully between Youngtug and myself, we can figure out this family mystery:) One of many I might add. The only Louisa I knew about was the one who was the witness at my gtgtgt grandfathers marriage cert and she calls herself Louisa Alice Dove [youngtug and i are second cousins hence the extra grt for my generation:)
