Hi Josyanne,
Do you have access to marriage records for Zebbug c. 1800-1805 please?
I have recently discovered my GGG GF's brother Alexandre CALLUS was exiled to Corsica with his family, Therese Callus ep Secondini and their daughter Catherine (Marie Catherine Jerome)at the end of the Valletta Blockade in 1800 but I am not sure exactly how soon after the end of the blockade they got out. I had previously supposed Alexandre married Therese in Corsica c. 1804 and Catherine was born after this. However their names have appeared in the list of refugees from the Valletta siege so this means he must have married earlier in Malta.
Alexandre was bapt Phillip Alexandre Augustus Callus on 7 July 1779 in Zebbug so he would have been 19 years old in 1798 when Napoleon first landed. His father was Andrea Callus, mother Catherina Cauchi of Zebbug.
I have found only one Therese Secondini in Geneanum and she was baptised in Valletta 1791 so would only have been 9 years old in 1800, far too young to have been married or capable of having a child. There must be another person of the same name.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
