I have to put my two cents in. A mole is a pier, dock, fortress or fortification in a harbor. Is it possible that Joseph was born on a ship, the Pomescinto, docked in the harbor of Genoa?
I don't know what the word is but I tend to exclude Pomescinto

Thanks for all the replies so far.
These are the details I know

Birthplace by census

1851 Italy, British Subject
1861, P?????? , Mole of Genoa
1871, Italy, Genoa

b abt 1815, d abt 1878

I have checked in the oveseas births on familyrelatives.com, but no trace.

Thanks for that Peter, my JJ Bush was born in 1815, but might be a link somewhere

Did you just put in for Bush surname and leave out Jospeh John? I get 1871 and 1873 using his full name. =Peter=

Hi
I have discounted that person, so it's back to trying to decipher the writing on the census.
I have emailed a couple of churches in Genoa, in case they hold the records.
