Hi Michel

I have one Domenico Lanni on my tree. I don't know his wife's name but his parents were Giovanni Lanni and Maria Christina Marcantonio. I think he lived in England Could this be your man?

Hello Marisa,

By writing on the forum about Domenico LANNI, I was almost certain that it would be you who would answer!

In fact the parents of Domenico LANNI are Lorenzo LANNI born the 03/06/1856 in Picinisco and Maria Cristina ANTONELLI born the 27/01/1863 in Picinisco.

I make research for Maria Cristina PELOSI who lives Picinisco and which is the girl of Angela Rosa LANNI born the 25/11/1906 and Luigi Martino PELOSI. Angela Rosa LANNI is the sister of Domenico LANNI.

Maria Cristina PELOSI would like to have contacts with the descendants of Domenico and Elisabeth.

Can you help me?

Thank you in advance.

Michel

Hi Michel

That is a pity. I know the descendants of Giovanni Lanni and Maria Christina Marcantonio. They are living in England. I also know the descendants of Francesco Lanni and Rosa Arcari who were from around the same time. Their descendants are in Scotland and England. Unfortunately I do not know those of Lorenzo. I hope one of the English forum members can help!

I have checked all of my Scottish census data (I have a list of all Italian born people on every available Scottish census - I need to get a life!! ), and they are not mentioned there - so I don't think they ventured up here.

Ah well - good luck in your search. If I find anything I will post it.

There was a Lorenzo Lanni living in Glasgow in 1890 married to a woman called Margaret. Could this be a relative - perhaps a brother, son or nephew of the other Lorenzo? I do not know the descendants of this man - but there is an interesting story attached to him.

Hello again

I believe the interesting story is about the court case in 03/11/1890 which includes the following names, Palombo, Marcantonio, Luciano, Gizzi, Lanni, Boni, di Marco, Bellonzi, Ferri, Verrechia, Di Felice, Cascarino and Rossi. The incident took place at a wedding party in Rodney Street, Possilpark, Glasgow

I have been into the National Archives in Edinburgh and have viewed all the documents of this case which involved the above names most of whom came from the Picinisco area.

Also the outcome of the case is recorded in the "Scotsman" archives.

Also in the Scotsman archives, I have notes on many interesting articles over the passed 100 years which gives some insight into the Italian community in Edinburgh, including charitable donations to good causes, setting up businesses, and of course prosecutions, the most popular prosecution was the heinous crime of allowing their cafe to open after the strict opening times especially on a Sunday.

If you wish some more detailed information please contact me.

Thanks

Hi Stuart

You are spot on with the interesting story! The two accused are well and truly in my tree. Lorenzo Marcantonio was my g g grandfather, and Loreto Palombo (his brother-in-law) was my g g grandmother's older brother. Michael Gizzi, who was injured, is also in the family, although I think they ended up in the USA. I haven't found a family link to the victim, Andear Luciano, yet. The case notes read like a Who's Who of Comino Valley emigrants.

I would love to hear what you have read about this. I have seen most of it, but I haven't seen the larger case files. One of my sons has diabetes and comes home for lunch each day from school so I can't get a full day to go to Edinburgh. I also never seem to have enough money to get a copy of the microfilms made!

I will perhaps write this story in a separate thread so we don't hijack Michel's. My grandmother will kill me if she ever finds out!!

I have found Lorenzo Lanni on the 1881 census in London.

He was a widower born 1855 Italy, a musician & was a boarder at 13 Fleet Row Holborn Middlesex.

His neighbours were ..it looks like Guiseppe Boni, Magliecco family, Cairo family all at 13 Fleet Row, my great grandfather Antonio Crolla at 11 Fleet Row, at 12 Fleet Row there is Donato Marcontino, his wife Antonia & sons Luigi, Nicola, Giovanni.

My g-grandfather Antonio moved from 11 to 12 Fleet Row 2 months after this 1881 census was taken. 12 Fleet Row was on his June 1881 marriage certificate to Donata Marino so they obviously moved in & out of each others houses.

Anyway hope this helps...I will send the census to anyone who wants it. I too am a little sad & have also collected most census's from Manchester & Middlesex London too (all years) as my family members appear on most of them.

Kindest Regards Santina Crolla

i hope someone will be able to assist, my gr gr gr grandparents antonio valvona (b around 1830)& anna coppola (b 1834) were married in atina in 1853 and moved to edinburgh with thier children around 1870's but i have not been able to find any information in atina about antonio or most of their children, one of the children is registered in atina (3rd child) i have noticed other valvonas were from picinisco so i thought maybe antonio's family might have originated from picinisco. as far as i can make out antonio's parents were geloramo valvona & valeria pellocella anyone come across these names while doing research in picinisco.

many thanks
