What the archive knows

The only person of this exact surname in the England and Wales death index, 1837–2007. «Laura Defranceschi, female, birth year 1848, age 83, death quarter 4, death year 1931, district Croydon, county Surrey, volume 2A, page 520». Born about 1848, which is before any emigration this archive has documented, and nothing links her to the Cardiff household but the surname. Emerico married Marietta Cosulich at Roath in 1876; whether Laura is of that family, of the Italian community in London, or of neither, is untested. The GRO certificate would say — it carries the exact age, the address and the informant. (doc for the index; the identification is open — inf at best, and this archive is not making it.)

No family is drawn for this name, and no record stands behind it. This archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry for it — the name reached this project through a chart, a narrative source or the family tree, and everything it does hold is below. The Register is where a record would appear if one turned up.
Identity here is by name, not by resolved individual. Where two people of one name appear in this archive they share this page, and it is for the reader to keep them apart — the surrounding text usually makes it obvious. Nothing here is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.

…— the Huguenot name), Scotland is one probate row and not ours, and England and Wales on the exact spelling gives five, of which one is Emerico's known 1876 Cardiff marriage, three are living people named here without detail, and one is new: Laura Defranceschi, born about 1848, died Q4 1931 at Croydon aged 83, GRO 2A/520 — the only person of this surname in the whole England and Wales death index. What remains on this item is the UK Electoral Registers, which hold living people and can be counted but…

A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual: where two people share a name they share a dossier, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
