Furintone / Fiorintone in Cardiff

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Annie remarries in 1919 and in 1921 she and her new husband are running a boarding house full of Maltese men at 161 Bute St

so let me check I've understood all this:

"Grandmother" Catherine Hyde (b.1838) > daughter Mary Catherine Hyde (b.1870) -- present together on 1881 and 1891 census.

In 1891 "grandmother" Catherine Hyde is living in the upper flt at 13 Crwys Road in Cardif, along with her other daughter Annie Samson and Annie's husband James Samson (a Maltese man). In the lower flat at 13 Crwys Road is Samuel Furinitine (spelled 'Fantin' on Ancestry), age 28, a Maltese fireman, wife Mary C. age 21 (bc. 1870 - so this must be Catherine Hyde's daughter Mary Catherine) plus their daughter Annie C., born 1885.

I think therefore that Samuel Furintine must be Salvo.

In 1901 "grandmother" Catherine aged 63 (b.1838) and grand-daughter Annie Furentine (age 15, bc.1886) are at Hodge Court along with Catherine's daughter Annie Sampson and granddaughter Annie Sampson (age 10).

Salvo and wife Mary Catherine also have a daughter Mary Melita who appears with mother Mary Catherine (married, not a widow) in 1901 at 151 Bute Street. Mary Melita marries a Maltese man named Williams in 1906, then a second marriage to a Maltese man named Depasquale in 1931. She has three children with Williams - Joseph Fred. , Mary Catherine and Frances Mary Williams.

Mary Catherine Fiorentino (Salvo's wife) remarries to Lawrence Mellia in 1905.


Have I understood this correctly?

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

Sorry, I missed this before. I would say your reasoning must be correct about this. The articles about the murder at 151 Bute St place husband Peter Fiorentino at the boarding house at the same time.

There's a note in Latin added which quotes a date of 23 Oct 1919 - difficult to make out the words.

Added - note probably related to 1919 Dec Qtr marriage.
