Hi there everyone.

I'm searching for my Great Grandfather which is proving very difficult as my Grandmother doesn't have much information on him at all. I've been searching the immigration records as I know he was Italian. I'd be grateful of any hints or tips, any other avenues I can explore.

The only information I have on him is on my Grandmothers marriage certificate and is as follows;

Name: What looks like 'Plomolo' or more likely 'Romolo' Gerome Weston, and I believe underneath that it reads 'deceased', so he wouldn't have been around in 1953 when my Gran was married at 17 years old.

It also says that his occupation was a coal miner. My Gran knows that he died young, possibly around the age of 35.

I would be really grateful for any help as my Gran would love to find some information on him as she doesn't really remember him and obviously doesn't know much about him.

Thanks everyone!

Something wrong here? "He is a coal miner for over 36 years" and he died at the age of 35?? Even if this is a typo and should be "He is a coal miner for over 26 years" it would mean he started in a coal mine at the age of 9 - in the 20s? - and in Milan? I do not think Milan is a coal-mining area and I do not think they had kids of 9 in the coal-mines even in Italy, even if they existed, in the 20s?
