  • Ancestry strikes again!

    I just came across a bit of light entertainment in the 1851 census when searching for an elusive rellie
    iI's a listing for a Guiseppe Angelone, (cook for a singer lady named Giulia Grisi, I think) birthplace ''Rome, papal slater''.
    The enumerator is as bad , he has the relationship as ''idem''.
    LOL the area is Kensington, are they are too posh to say ''do.'' ?

        I still haven't worked out what the papal slater actually did.

          It was very important that sarmotive beguines were bleaned. Nothing worse than an unbleaned sarmotivebeguine!

            LOL Nell!

            You are right. A sarmotive with an unbleaned beguine is no use to man nor beast and probably dangerous too.

              LOL. OC, lorry to be so hate in deploying but i was bleaning my hitchen.
              I had visions of the papal slater at the breakfast table in Albert Square with Mo, Charlie and Stase, very posh with his mitre and red shoes on...
              ''Bacon sarnie, Charlie? And wot abaht you, mate?''
              ''Idem''

                Presumably it actually said "Rome, papal states"; the Latin "idem" is therefore appropriate although the Italian "ditto" would also do.
