Marubbi - Italy
« on: Friday 21 January 22 15:26 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find evidence of Aldo (born c1885) and his brother Armando (born c1882) Marubbi from Italy (Bardi?).  The Marubbi family moved over to the Wrexham area of North Wales c1900. 

Any help in tracing some information would be appreciated please.

What do you already have? He is in the 1911 census with his brother, birthplace Bardi, and he is in the 1939 register which gives his birthday as Jan 20 1884.

Here is Armando Marubbi attending a funeral in 1907. The Shrewsbury Rail Accident of 1907 has its own Wikipedia page.

There are lots of names here for anyone interested in the Italian ice cream trade in Edwardian England.

THE WELLINGTON JOURNAL AND SHREWSBURY NEWS, OCTOBER 19, 1907
Funeral of Another Shrewsbury Victim
The funeral also took place yesterday afternoon of Antonio Colombotti of Princess Street, Shrewsbury, another victim of the disaster. Colombotti was a partner in the firm Peeny Bros, and Co., ice merchants, of Shrewsbury, Wrexham, and Blackpool. He was a native of Bardi, Italy, and had been in England about five years. He married a sister of his partner, Dominico Peeny, and his widow, who is now living with the deceased's father in Italy, is left with three young children. Colombotti was manager of the Shrewsbury branch of the firm, and was returning from a business visit to Blackpool when met his death. He contemplated visiting Italy in November, to spend the Christmas holidays with his wife and family. He was of genial, kindly disposition, and was highly esteemed by his neighbours, who sent a magnificent floral tribute. The funeral procession comprised the hearse and six mourning coaches, and the mournful ceremony was largely attended by Roman Catholics, Colombotti being an earnest adherent of the Roman Catholic Church. The Rev. Dr. A. Moriarty officiated, and the mourners included:– Dominico Peeny (head of the firm), Dominico Peeny, senr., Ernest Moruzzi, Marubbi, Armando, Ferrari, Giuseppe, Bertorelli Frank, Joseph Paccitto, Antonio Pinazzi, Messrs. W. Davies (Wrexham), J. Jones (Rhos), W. Holland, J. T. Smaje. W. L. Booth, Weston, Davies, F. Ward, V. Campion, J. Grady, McKenna, Davies, and the Catholic Y.M.S. was well represented. Among the sympathising friends who sent wreaths were Mrs. Seddon and others.

Had a quick look in the Italian Archives for birth certificates but unfortunately the records don't seem to have been digitised for that area yet.
