Girolomo Gentili

Post by Woodworth »

I am looking for information on how to find out where my grandfather was born in Italy. He came to the UK about the 1880's as far as I can gather he was born in Italy about 1865 and lived in Yorkshire, Chester and Shropshire. I can find him on the 1901 UK census when he says he was born in Italy, but there is no reference to his place of birth. all my older family are dead, my sisters know nothing about him. He died in Chester in 1929. There must be some information in the UK which documents him, but I am at a loss where to look. I asked my Grandmother where he was born and she said Pigeonisco we have tried Picinisco in the Frosinone area but no luck> PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

Her father was Giroloramo Gentile*, and his wife was Annie. She had several sisters, some where born in Dewsbury like her, and others in Chester, Cheshire.
