I know little about Giuseppe Darmenia because few records exist.

He is my 5 x great-grandfather.

He was born in Malta after 1748, son of Giorgio Darmenia and Margherita Gherarda1.

Family

On 28 January 1776 Giuseppe Darmenia married Margherita Gatt in Vittoriosa, Malta1. Margherita was the daughter of Nicola and Maria Cristina2.

They had several children (the list is not exhaustive):

  • Michele Darmenia, born on 25 August 17803.
  • Teresia Laurentia Alexandra Diana, born on 19 September 1784

On 08 January 1806 he married Maddalena Bugailas in Vittoriosa, Malta4.

Notable events

A photo of the fortifications in Birgu, Malta. Giuseppe Darmenia would not have seen them this way, because they exploded later in his life.

Death

I don’t know when he died, where, why or where they buried him.
