Thanks for all this Hanes.

The seaman you found, that might be another man - I think the Peter I'm looking into was born c.1853 (per the 1891 census).

Annie Fiorentino? I wonder if Cardiff Fiorentinos are all related, or whether it was just a common Maltese name and Cardiff was a busy dock, so not related? What do you think?

[hanes teulu]

If you search the Maltese data base I posted for the surname Fiorentino (or similar - your opening post mentions the variations!!) it does not produce many results. This could be that the registers of the parishes they were most populous are the ones missing since the registers are described as "non exhaustive".
But the name is few and far between wherever you search.

Annie appears to have named her daughter after her grannie Mary Catherine whom she is with in 1901. Where does Mary Catherine Snr fit in - or not?

[Mabel Bagshawe]

As posted previously, Annie is the daughter of Salvo and Mary Catherine (nee Hyde) who at various times were connected to/running the same boarding house as we find Pietro and Rose linked to. This seems to suggest a fairly close connection between the men.
