Hi Tina,

I am interested in the Dewsbury information. In 1891 from the information I
have, my Grandfather would have been 24 and my Great-Grandfather 53. I am
now almost certain the name was Gentile, apart from one reference to
Gentili all the marriage and birth certificates he has been involved in
confirm this. Any information is worth looking at when you are running out
of ideas. I am trying to get back to his birth place, any ideas as to what I
might try next, I have done all the well known things, apart from getting a
researcher to look at the naturalization files at the National Archives.

Best wishes

George

>> Dear Julie,

>> My great Grandfather Antonio Gentile and my Grandfather Girolomo Gentile

>> Yorkshire in 1892 through Chester 1901 (Census), to Shrewsbury 1910,
>> Oswestry 1913 and back to Chester in 1929 where he died. Recently to my

>> died in Oswestry in 1917, until then, apart from knowing his first name
>> there had been no indication he was in the UK. In the 1901 census my
>> Grandfather said he was born in Italy and was a British subject, but I
>> have found no information to prove or disprove this. I had people look at
>> the 1881 and the 1891 census, but they couldn't find anything under
>> Gentile. He must have been here in 1891, because his partner registered
>> their eldest daughter in 1892 and she named my Grandfather as the father
>> with the name John Gentile Taylor which was her maiden name.!
>> I haven't the 1891 Yorkshire census to interrogate myself and I now seem
>> to have come to a full stop. I asked someone to look at the National
>> Archive Files for me but the never came back, although I have searched
>> the Archives on line (not too sure if I am accessing the right Archive
>> information, that's why I wanted someone to do it for me who knows how) I
>> have searched many more sites nothing is showing up. Have you any ideas
>> where I might go from here?
