Not sure where to begin!

Thanks

Hi Ellie,
My father in laws mother Nilva Pinardi who was from Torino in Italy. I know she was born around 1929 and she married Fred Peel in Bradford UK in the 50s I think but unsure when she moved. I can't find her on the 1939 British census.

Yes that's them, I'm wanting to trace Nilva's life before she moved.

You said they married in the 50's so I was just confirming the date for you.

Did she ever take up British nationality? If she did the papers may tell you something of her background.

Thank you.

Honestly, I don't know. My father in law hasn't spoken to his mum in a very long time they don't have a great relationship.
Do you know how I would find this out?

I'm sorry but I've no idea. I have looked on the National Archives but nothing is showing up.

It might be worth Googling Italian Baptisms. There are bound to be some sites which may point you in the right direction as to where to look. You could try looking for a Record Office/Archives in Turin and contacting them. I've never had to look overseas for an ancestor so I'm as much in the dark as you are. Sorry.

No problem!
I know I was so blasé thinking its such an unusual name I'm sure itll be easy to find her.. And it wasn't !

Thank you anyway!

It's probably the Italian equivalent of Brown, Jones or Smith!

Do you have her marriage cert? I was just wondering if it might have her father's name and occupation on it. Wondering also if having that information might help to track her in Italy.
