Hi I am researching the life of my great grandad Edoardo Ruggia (mis spelt Eduardo Ruggea on marriage certificate )
he came from Italy circa 1907 and went to live in beighton which at the time was derbyshire on his marriage certificate he is living with a mr Carlin at Allen road
on his marriage certificate 1908 and first child’s birth certificate 1909 he is working as a lobourer on the coke ovens and I was wondering if any body would have a clue as to which colliery he may have worked at
he left beighton in about 1910 to live with other Italian relatives in Ashton under lyne
We only have very patchy history for him and I am trying to piece together his life
he did not appear to be living with or working with other Italians in these early years
any information would be really welcome
thankyou linda
