Hi
   I know this is in 2 threads but i am hoping that some other can help ....

I have a john Valente I believe was born Giovanni Valente 22 Feb 1875 as recorded in the 1939 register where the john is crossed and Gioranni is there instead traced to 39 Cheetham Street Chorlton

I have his Marriage Certificate and this was under Johann Valente at 135 Jersey Street Ancoats in the 1911 census but his address on the marriage cert is 89 Jersey Street moving to 135 Jersey Street with a annie not Margaret

His Father is listed as Honorio is there another name they use and his father was listed as deceased by 1911 and a farmer Labour looking for any links or website to help trace this person

Incidentally, living with the Brissolaris and their four chldren (here spelled Bripalari)
Gill

So, thanks for that.

Having searched on my mother's side on Ancestry.org and learning I was related to a 'Lewis Brissalari' which has been miss-spelt in a lot of documents as brissolaris, I saw Bripalari appear and wasn't sure if it was also a miss-spelling.

Lewis, or Luigi, or Ludovici Brissolari was likely my great, great grandfather - before taking a partner in Jane Brissalari, likely Jane Maile from Huntingdonshire.

We had no information on my mother's side of the family, really. Having the DNA test and then linking to people who had these persons in their family trees and then being able to connect the dots from seeing the various miss-spellings and thanks to forum posts like these really joins the likeliness of it together.

The John Devote born 1847 in Italy who married umbrella maker Emma and had a daughter, Selena, is my 3rd great grandfather. He started off selling ice cream in Blackpool and ended up with a delicatessen in Manchester. If he is the John Devote you are looking for it would be great to connect and share information.

Hi
Am new to the site , family name Devoto from Ancoats and believe I may be a close relative to the site member under the name of Ingamdavis. My grandma was Selina Devoto. I would be very grateful for any information regarding the Devoto family especially Giovanni/ John Devoto as I’m trying to get my Italian passport. I am wondering if Inghamdavis is related to Mavis Ingam,  my aunty, she lived in Christchurch Bournemouth. I look forward to a response and hearing more about the Devoto family

Hi as I am new to this site I am not sure how to navigate my way round and to message people individually, any tips?

[Roberto13]

It would be wonderful to find long lost relatives. Do the names Lena , Elsie, Doris, Harry Helliwell and Robert and Janet mean anything to you, in relation to John/ Giovanni Devoto?
