Mother was Elizabeth Emily Chamberlain who married Giovanni Cimelli in 1882....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeppoSapone Posted 27 August , 2004 Share Posted 27 August , 2004 I believe his full, correct name was: Cimelli, Francesco Zenone C There are lots of Cimelli children being born, all in the Holborn (was Essex, then Middlesex) and West Ham areas. Mother was Elizabeth Emily Chamberlain who married Giovanni Cimelli in 1882....? There was also a Rifleman Alfred Cimelli, 21st KRRC, who was killed in September 1917 at 3rd Ypres. He is on Tyne Cot Memorial. Cimelli seems to be a fairly uncommon name from northern Italy, the name is found in just 20 "Comuni". A common name like Rossi is found in 4541! If interested, go here: http://gens.labo.net/en/cognomi/genera.html Put "Cimelli" into the box beneath the word "Cognome" and press enter. You will see where Cimelli's live now, based upon the Italian phone directory. You might also try "Rossi" for the contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
