Lucy and Cristoforo – final chapter

Cristoforo passes away in 1904 at the age of 80.

Lucy lives another 10 years. At some point she moves out of the place at Harrington Road and moves up to Willesden, 18 Larch Road, Cricklewood where her sons are all close by. And for the first time we have a house that I assume is the same one that was there in 1915. ( although like most of the homes we will show, has been gentrified)

We believe she attended her Grandson Claud’s wedding in the summer of 1915 and that we may even have a photo of her there. ( see section on Claud and Martha for photo) Lucy passes 4 months after on December 1, 1915.

The Setacci’s were commemorated with a Monument at the Hendon Cemetery in North London near Willesden.

I would suggest you go visit your greats the next time you are in London, but unfortunately I don’t think that is possible. The document below indicates that their tombstones, among with many others, were moved or destroyed in 1973. It might still be worth a visit to see if we can find out why the graves were removed and where they went to. And more importantly to ensure that the removal was done properly. Otherwise, well, sometimes spirits do escape when such moves take place. And the possibility does exist that the ghosts of Cristoforo and Lucy are looking over your shoulder right now checking out their great great great great great grandchildren. At least I hope they are.

If anyone does go to the cemetery the below might help. It indicates that a non-lawn type memorial was moved or converted to lawn principle. ( whatever that means)
