Hello Izzy,

So excited to have found you via this thread, albeit belatedly! My grandfather, David Liddell Rossini, is a grandson of Antonio Rossini who married Isabella Bishop in 1843. He came to Canada in 1913 and settled in Winnipeg.

I got as far back as you did, to the Filippo Rossini/Martha Abercrombie marriage 1819. Was wondering if you had any luck finding out where in Italy he came from?

FYI, looking at the various census records, even with all the misspellings, Filippo and the two Antonios were all listed as wire workers/masters. The 1871 census lists Isabella's sons Antonio and Charles as birdcage makers. My mother, now 89, remembers her father telling her that his father made birdcages, popular in the Victorian era.

Thanks for any tips or suggestions,

Janet

Charle's death certificate states children as Charles 13 years, 1 female deceased while Caroline's death certificate states Margaret 65, Antonio 59, John 56 and Caroline 47 with 2 males deceased. If you would like a copy of the documents I could send you a copy.
