New Zealand Birth Antonelli - Quirk

[mckha489]

Have you approached Sacred Heart to see if they have a record of his previous school?

(I don’t see him on the NZSG school record data base - finally got in)

Not helping with Lawrence's birth, however there is this mention of a Ferdinand ANTONIA, a servant of Professor Martin  SWALLOW in 1880. A possible connection?

However there is this mention of the "mysterious Signor Antonelli" with Professor Martin SWALLOW in 1882

This review of the concert in 1882 implies that ANTONELLI was his valet, so probably Ferdinand?

Interesting character - Professor Martin SWALLOW.
eg this description (which also mentions ANTONELLI)

Ferdinand Antonelli is buried in the Old Te Kuiti Cemetery, aged 79.

Naturalised in 1913. Alien Records in 1917 give his birthplace as Italy, been in NZ 42 years, which is a bit out.

There is a marriage in 1869 for a Ferdinand ANTONELLI and a Emily BENNETT, which I guess is him and parents of Emily Frances who became Norma Maria.
