Furintone / Fiorintone in Cardiff

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Mrs Fiorentino, 33  and Pepino, 5 (female) are noted as coming into London on 2 Nov 1899  on a ship that started in  Calcutta and picked them up in Malta (Ancestry have the former as their embarkation point, but the image is clear they are later joiners)

Just a coincidence that Salvo was also called Fiorentino and resided at the same address in Bute St as Peter Fiorentino?

I can't find anything much on Salvo - a couple of war records maybe.

I wasn't sure about those, given Mary Catherine says she's a widow in 1901, unless they split up. They had another child Annie, b c1886, who is with Granny Hyde in 1901

This from 1897 says that boarding house was kept by Rose Foronentroso - Rosina? Looks like various family members could be running it depending on who's available: https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3267745/3267748/57/151%2BOR%2BBute%2BOR%2BStreet
