Margharita SALA mother of Lorenzo DELLALA, Gassino, Piedmonte, Torino, It to Aus
My grandfather Lorenzo DELLALA came to Victoria, Australia from Piedmonte, Italy when he was about 17, leaving his family behind him. He was naturalised Australian on 16th October 1908. He and my grandmother Henrietta NIXON nee JOHNSTON had about 13 children. They lived in Moe, Beaconsfield/Berwick, Abbotsford in Victoria, Australia. Lorenzo's mother's name was Margherita SALA.
His father, Fiorenzo, was a chemist. His uncle or brother Angelo was a priest in a monastery in or near Gassino, Italy. (My mother visited the monastery and an old priest there remembered Fr. DELLALA).
His sister or aunt was a nun killed in the war. He had a fish and chip shop in Errol Street, North Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Anyone have any connection or information?
