I'm struggling with the name and place of the wife quoted towards the bottom of the document;

Mary Assunta Pirata???

Place possibly somewhere in Malta?

That looks like her name. The Assunta is a Catholic middle name. The place is Floriana, Malta.

hmmmm


I stupidly had the 1901 return where he is listed as a soldier but overlooked the entry in the WWI stuff several times. He is the mystery one in a family group, looks like the Malta link may explain why to an extent.

Thanks for the place name.

The marriage seems to be recorded in the Overseas BMDs - twice!

Maybe there was a problem with the formalities for the first ceremony.

Thanks for the extra info, looks like an e-mail to a second cousin in Italy to tell her the news. This chap is her uncle but as far as we know there seems little known about him, maybe it might ring a few bells somewhere.
