Hello there Yvonne I realise this is a long time after your original posting -9 years in fact but I believe we are somehow related.
My great grandmother Maria Dolores Borg I have just discovered was the daughter of Rocco Borg and Paola Arena, after thinking she was the daughter of someone else and went off on a wild goose chase.
She was christened in St Dominic's church Valetta and they are named as her parents. She married in Valetta in 1875, aged 20 (so born 1855)to my great grandfather John Thomson and had two children (John and Mary) on Malta before coming to Glasgow. Their Daughter Sarah, my father's mother, was my grandmother.
So It would appear that the Giuseppe you refer to would be Maria Dolore's older brother, by three years. I checked the 1880 voters roll and there is a Giuseppe and Eduardo Borg at the same address on Strada Reale Valetta (later known as Republic St). We knew that Maria Dolores was born on Republic street.
Now that I know Rocco and Paola were her parent s I am very keen to know what they did, where they lived, if there are any more children etc etc to re do the family tree. It would appear Giuseppe is one and I wonder do you have any more information on the family? Many thanks Janet
