In The Times 17.2.1939 the engagement was announced between Nico Vincenzo, youngest son of Colonel M Moederle and Countess Alberti Moederle of Gardone, Riviera, Italy and Mary Hammond, only daughter of Mr & Mrs E.J.Colthup of Howletts, Chilham, Canterbury. The marriage took place in Italy on 24.2.1940.
The London Gazette 18.2.1949 list of Naturalisations includes Moederle, Mary Hammond; Italy; Via Cornella 106 Gardone Riviera, Lago di Garda, Italy. 18.10.1948 http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issu...s/876/page.pdf
As far as I can see all the other naturalisations have a UK address as one would expect. Why is Mary applying for naturalisation when she was born British? Did UK nationals living in Italy during WWII have to surrender their British citizenship? How is she doing this when she still lives in Italy?
Any ideas?
