Bortolo Calsaferri and descendants
Introduction
Bortolo CALSAFERRI (c 1860-1946) married Elizabeth RITCH (-1927), although it appears their marriage certificate in 1891 has her down as Elizabeth SYKES (perhaps she had married previously)
1)
Elizabeth RITCH was daughter of Mary BRAWN and William Daniel RITCH, and died in Essendon in 1927
2)
It seems Bortolo and Elizabeth started their family in Foster, Gippsland, Victoria then bought a farm in Hotspur in western Victoria and later moved to Moonee Ponds / Essendon some time before 1927.
Fred GLARE saved the lives of the CALSAFERRI family when a bushfire threatened their farm in Hotspur and Fred rescued them from their dam where they had taken refuge
Bortolo CALSAFERRI / FERRI died in 1946 in Moonee Ponds at age 86yrs.
