Long name

Marriage certificate
Questura ...

My Italian Mum used a mixture of her first name and shortened first name for a variety of documents in Italy and the UK. The shortened version appears on her birth certificate and long version on my birth certificate. How do I prove they are both the same person?

The comune has suggested starting ...

When I visited the Consulate in London, they sent me away to find proof. The frustrating thing is that they didnt tell me what proof I needed, just gave me two links to British registration archives. Obviously they turned up blank.
The lady at the comune sent me away saying they couldn't go any ...

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Briefly, I took all my documents as and how requested and was told that my application was denied because my mother automatically lost her ...

Not sure tbh, I thought he was older when he died? My Mum and brother went over to America to ...
