I know Lorraine's not asking about Michael, and I'm sure she's seen the Ancestry trees, which only "know" the same small amount about Caroline -
but just for interest -

Michael's parents' marriage:

Elizabetta Lemarro
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1837-1915
Name: Elizabetta Lemarro
Registration Year: 1889
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration District: Holborn
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1b
Page: 1239
Records on Page:
Name
Casimiro De Paolo
Elizabetta Lemarro


DE PAOLO, MICHAEL mmn LEMARRO
GRO Reference: 1890 J Quarter in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 970


Seven trees on Ancestry says that Casimiro de Paolo was born 21 Feb 1852 in Atina, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy - but give no proof other than the 1911 census which only says Italy.
Father: Pietratonio Clemente Di Paolo
Mother: Anna Tortolani
The tree says his wife was also born there, but again no proof.

Re Caroline -
some of the trees say she was born in Naples, but have no proof.
A couple say her father was Henry - but mother unknown, and no info about Henry/Henrico

Casimiro ice creams seem to be centred on Milan, Italy at present - did they start there? Although perhaps have spread around the world.

I don't do facebook so can't tell you more

If that's where the family came from you may stand more of a chance of finding Italian records

Michael death

Cashmere Michael 45 St.Olave 1d 94

Marriages Sep 1935
Boon Frederick G Cashmere Deptford 1d 2432
Cashmere Caroline Boon Deptford 1d 2432

In 1911, John Hutt Gillett and his family lived at that address.

I can't find 18 New King Street on London Electoral Rolls around 1915.
In 1912, 1913 and 1915 some numbers in New King Street are listed, but others, including No.18, are not.

In any case, only the main householder is listed - no way to know who else might have lived at any address - a lodger, for instance.

Did she remarry?

Looking for parents of Caroline Marcella Lombardi.
Earliest record is marriage in 1915 Michael Cashmere. She was 17.
Father was Harry Lombardi (deceased).
Address given 18 New King Street, Deptford, London.
Supposedly came to England as a child from Italy. No known siblings or mothers name.
Cannot find on 1911 census.
Looked for Enrico Lombardi (italian Harry, Henry)

Does anyone have access to any records that shows who lived at the address above in 1915 and the few years before. May offer a clue.

thanks
