1. FreeBMD has no record of the birth of an Agnes Podesta anywhere. The nearest match is that of Mary Agnes U Podesta born 1st Qtr 1890 in Brighton. This fits nicely with the 1891 and 1901 census records which are included in the notes for Maria Azzaro. Obviously the 3rd initial U (probably = Ursula) is typical of Emanuele's family.
2. There is no trace of her in the 1911 census, either under the names Mary or Agnes.
3. In 3rd Qtr 1915 there is the marriage of Agnes M Podesta to James B Birkhead in Basford (which is a district spanning the boundaries of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire). (Note that all 3 of her sisters appear to have been married in Knaresborough and her mother re-married in Leeds, so the whole family has evidently moved North.) They had 5 children :
George T Birkhead b. Basford 1915
Byron S Birkhead b. Shardlow 1920
Joan K Birkhead b. Shardlow 1921
Robert N Birkhead b. Shardlow 1922
Betty Birkhead b. Birmingham N. 1927
4. In the 1921 census the family are living at Long Eaton, Derbyshire with the first 3 of the children and a domestic servant. A transcript of the census record can be found at
