I am an Englishman called David Bishop who is descended from the Northam family from Devon, UK, and before that, various Lombardinis....
I am trying to find out more about these people:
Tomaso Lombardini (? - ?) moved to North Devon UK from North Italy (Lombardia?) probably between 1810 and 1840. I understand that he may have tried to avoid military conscription in Italy by emigrating from Italy to the UK.
He had 2 children Francesco Lombardini (? - ?) and Georgio Lombardini (1820 -1912)
Tomaso and Georgio, I think, became shoemakers in Devon in the 1800s...
Georgio (or George) had the following children:
Margaret Lily Lombardini born 1868, William Parsons Lombardini born 1865 died 1913, Alfred Garibaldi Lombardini born 1860, Susan Emma Lombardini born 1860, Bertha Ann Lombardini born 1859, Mary Jane Lombardini born 1856, Francis Peter Lombardini born 1855 died 1900, George Thomas Lombardini born 1852.
