| Additional Info: |
The marriage record for Peter & Flora indicates that she was “single” at the time of this marriage.
My mother & her brother Fred remembers hearing that Flora was married before Peter Romanello, It
Wasn't talked about much & the feeling was that it was an unhappy marriage & may not have lasted long.
I eventually found this first marriage record to Anthony Savoy in Detroit Michigan. Flora Savoy was
listed as the witness to the birth of Victor (Vito) Sanseverino in Toronto, Canada on Sep 1909 & was
living at 117 Centre Ave at the time.
Flora and Peter got along well together. My mother remembers Aunt Flora telling her that she couldn’t
have any children, so they adopted a daughter. The daughter was raised from a baby up to the age of
near 20 Yrs (this info is all verbal and none of it has been proven with documents). She disappeared
and was never heard from. There is a daughter named Margarette who is enumerated with Peter & Flora
in both the 1915 N.Y. State Census & the 1920 U.S. Federal Census for N.Y.
Peter and Flora owned a candy store in Brooklyn, N.Y. They would come to Union Beach to their summer
cottage which later became their place of permanent residence when they sold the candy store and moved
out of Brooklyn.
The 1920 census lists a record for Peter Romanellia, married to Flora in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, living
at 330 Leonard St. This record lists 5 children enumerated with Peter and Flora. At present it is
assumed these children are adopted or were foster children!
Margaret age 16 (b. 1904) Born in Michigan
Millie age 14 (b. 1906) Born in Michigan
Grace age 12 (b. 1908) Born in New York
Tony age 10 (b. 1910) Born in New York
Peter age 8 (b. 1912) Born in New York
Flora registered for Social Security on Sep 25, 1940. The registration indicates she was living at
7th & Pine St. in Union Beach at the time and was working for LaParee Undergarment Co. She gave her
age as 48 and indicated she was born on Sep 25, 1892 in Detroit, Michigan. This age and birth
information obviously doesn’t agree with other documented records obtained on Flora.
A Deed showing the transfer of Peter & Flora’s holdings, dated June 10th, 1974 indicates that she and
Peter purchased two tracts of land in Union Beach. One tract identified as lot 19 was purchased from
John P. & Mary Tremel on May 18, 1932 and the second tract identified as lots 20 & 21 was purchased
from Helen Harris on January 29, 1927. |
