Although I easily found their marriage in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire in 1930, and there are Medal Index Cards soldiers with Italian sounding names and given name of Pasquale there doesn’t appear to be any record of him serving in the British Army during WWI nor is there an entry in the 1911 census.
It’s the same for records at the National Archives of the Royal Navy, 3 sailors with Italian names, born in Italy but no Pasquale and no records at all for the Royal Naval Reserve, RNVR or RAF.
Nothing in either WWI or WWII Merchant Navy medals at the NA and no Alien (Immigrant) registration card 1918-1957.

With the Canadian WWI soldiers database again several Pasquale’s but no Tuozzo.

Using the LDS Familysearch web site https://familysearch.org/ there is one draft registration record for a Pasquale Tuozzo, he was born 27 Feb 1875, Italy, registered Fayette County no 2, Pennsylvania, USA.

He may have changed his name before or after WWII that could explain the lack of a death certificate; what occupation did he give on his marriage certificate?

I could not but help looking at this thread. One of the best and most interesting threads and one of the most thourough threads that I ever looked into was a thread dealing with the Italian Army.

It interested me; because like the Somme and many other battles that took a large number of men. The battle that took place in the Northern part of Italy in the Italian Alps with the Austrians. They had 11 or12 battles. I know eleven for sure. and Austria Hungary. Italy lost (**)157,000 and the Austro Hungarians lost (**) 75,000 men. They are still finding bodies to this day. They had been covered up in the avalanches in that area.

The avalanches claimed a lot of lives on both sides. There were a lot of Italians who went home to join the military and fight for Italy during WWI; That was what I was thinking of when I was looking at your thread.

I looked up the information that Jefff had provided and the more I looked into it. The more complicated it became. Not complicated in the way it was presented by Jeff; that is not what I am implying; but in the searching; but so many things that Intertwined around Pasquale and the name of his wife supposedly. There is a Louisa; but it is also a mans name according to one census; that is unless the enumerator wrote down the wrong information.

The names in this case was Tuozzi and if it is him and he is the same Pasquale Tuozzo that
Jeff had mention from the Draft Registration.

Pasquale evidently couldn't write. It was hard to see on the registration at the bottom; but the Registras name was under what was the signature of "Pasquale's signature" "P. Bufano or Bufono".

In the middle of Pasquale's signature between Pasquale and Tuozo is an X and underneath it the word "mark" on the top of the "X" is "bus" or something else and it has the Registrar's signature at the bottom and you can tell the Registrar signed Pasqual's name. I think that was one of his official duties. If a person could not sign there name. He probably did the honors.

I said that to say that the Enumerator or someone else probably had to fill out his name on the census. It was not uncommon for both the man and his wife not to be able to spell; but I am unsure about the wife.

I am sure it was the 1920 or 1930 census that had a Louisa Tuozzi (man's name and head of the family.) I forgot the woman's or the wife's name. The odd thing was they had a daughter Anna Tuozzi and by her name was the indication that the fathers name of Anna was Pasquale.

I looked at the 1910 census and on it was Pasquale Tozzie Head with no wife. It appeared he was raising his family. Florence 17, Nicholas 15, Margerie 12, Madeline 4. The Census showed they lived at 979 east 230th or 233rd St.
The names hold good into the forties some of them. They were still with their father.

Jeff the Pasquale that you had the one who had a WWI Draft Registration was a Pasquale who I am almost sure settled in Connecticut and was listed in a register or history book of the men who fought with the Connecticut military. He was in the National Guard in 1898 and1899 and in the Spanish American war.

It was entitled "Connecticut Men In The Army, Navy and Marine Corps Of The USA. In the Spanish American War, Phillipine Insurrection, & China Relief Expedition. He was a Pvt. in Co. M 3rd regiment Volunteer Infantry.

They had him listed the following:

1. Name-Tuozo, Pasquale
2. Residence- Torrington
3. Pl. of Birth- Salerno, Italy (This is not your man; but another Pasquale who was listed on your search from family). There were six that came up.
4.Age-26
5. Date o Enlistment into the National Guard- 22 June 1898
6. Date mustered in to U. S. Service-2 July 1898
7. Remarks-On detached service at Summerville So. Carolina as a baker at Brigade Bakeries, 15 Jan to Feb 1899.

There was another one who fits into the birthday that was given by the author of the thread1871. He was or came out of the port of Sessa Aur, Italy and Migration date was 1May1904 and he was 34 years old and that put him as being born in 1870.

There was another that had arrived at Ellis Island as they all had on I Jan 1906 (30 yrs OLD).
it would have made him born in 1876. I don't think this one fits in with the daughter who was born in 1906 and whose father was a Pasquale; but on the census his name was Tozzie (It sounds somewhat like it could have been written for Tuozo.

I like the one you found with the draft notice born in Baccino Salerno, Italy. I like this one. I know I have thoroughly mixed everyone up the way I have explained this. I hope to try and sort it all out and get some order to it.

God Bless and God Speed, Danny

Miss Bradshaw,
I suggest to you to be very careful in putting too much information out there. Identity theft is at an all time high. Your fathers name is a lot of info to give someone. That's my own personal opinion. It is very hard in dealing with the family tree and the search for relatives. What's too much info for the people who might want to misuse it. It is hard; but you have to be very careful.

That is why unlike America the UK only release a Census every one hundred years. Most of the people are dead on it. The United States is every seventy five years.

When a person is alive. They will not include any personal info on them on a family tree.

They did an injustice to a lot of people by releasing the 1940 census. Most people seventy five and older are on them. I always tell someone to not use your mothers maiden name as a clue to your credit info. That is generally the name every credit card or credit agency ask you. "What is your mothers maiden name". When they release the 1940 census. I went and changed the name to get into my credit info.

Just be careful. Don't be so trustworthy with your families information. You not only open the vault for yourself; but for everyone in your family. It's not easy. It's called trust and everybody does not abide by the rules and some times has people who talk right along with them to help in pulling info out of other people.

Just some thoughts. Danny

The above mentioned Pasquale Tuozzo who served as a Private in Co, M of the 3rd Regiment while serving with Co. C of the 32nd Infantry was convicted of murdering Private William Kirkpatrick also of Co C at Balanga, Philippines and sentenced on December 10, 1900 to a term of 99 years at Bilibid prison in Manila for the crime. Attached in a newspaper clipping regarding this Pasquale Tuozzo and his conviction.

Thank you for this information Edward. I had actually stumbled upon this myself. I ruled it out though as I couldn't see how he ended up in Wales. Anything is possible though!

Edited to ask: if he was sentenced to 99 years in 1900, is it possible he was released in 1930?

Edited again to add: interesting images and suggestion that Pasquale was moved from Bilibid to Alcatraz http://soldiersofthequeen.com/blog/2013/05/01/

I have been looking into the murder case surrounding Private Pascuale Tuozzo for some time after coming across an old photo album that was once owned by a member of Company C, 32nd U.S. Volunteer Infantry. It was filled with photos of members of Co. C while they were stationed in the Philippines along with their names, home towns, fate during the war and after. I believe the album was kept by a former member of Co. C who organized reunions up until some time in the 1930s. One of the photos shows Private Tuozzo and Private Kilpatrick together sometime prior to the later killing the former. Another photo shows Tuozzo with three other soldiers - Privates Bowen, Bucher, and Rivet. There are a couple of typed notes mentioning Tuozzo and the murder trial and court martial. I have not been able to find anything regarding Tuozzo after his incarceration at Bilibid prison in Manila although there is always a chance that me may have received a commutation of his sentence at some point. I will probably try finding Pasqule Tuozzo's military records at the National Archives to see if those may shed any light on the matter but given that he was dishonorably discharged from the army after his conviction these records may be silent as to his fate after going to prison. I should mentioned that my research into Tuozzo has nothing to do with my family history but is of a general military historical nature instead. I am attaching a scan of one of the photos from the album showing Tuozzo in uniform while in the Philippines.

Hi, he is far left on this one. On the other one, he is on the right, with the murdered man on his left.
