There are three other people researching him on this site-Jackie, Maureen and George.

In fact if you google his name there are lots of results. His work seemed to have been/still is prized. This may then be a way to find out about him through his work.

Dominic Luvate is a distant relative through the family name of Preston. I have a family tree if you would like one. Dominic's son also Dominic married Elizabeth Jane Preston.
The 1861 census shows Dominic senior was born "in Milan"
Would be grateful for any info about the family
