Orlando Cherry Brandy


The story behind these little pots is quite interesting.

I inherited a plate from my Grandmother with a very similar patten on it. The design was by the artist, Wattau.

So, in my search to see if there were any other similar plates I came across one of these little pots. On the back is the details of Orlando Cherry Brandy, Aidee liqueurs, Torquay. Interesting, as the name of Orlando appears in my Italian ancestry, I simply had to buy the little pot. Then I bought another, and another.....

I actually do not live too far from Torquay, so I set about to research a little about the business, that closed long ago.

Surname Profiler - 1881 & 1998

Although the web site indicates that you can build a profile for both 1881 and 1998, there is no profile for ORLANDO in 1881, and here is the reason:

"There were no results found for your selection. There needed to be at least 100 people with the name on the Electoral Register in 1998 to be in the database. We are hoping to add these missing names at a later date."

Data Sourced from the LDS Index of the 1881 Census

Further research Notes

Having located the original census image for the 1881 Census for London Amelia’s surname is actually DESLANDS.

I have looked at the 1871 Census for London RG10/0158/50 and have located Amelia living at 125 Oxford Street London, recorded with surname of DESLANDES.

Copies of the 1871 and 1881 census pages for Amelia are included in the Orlando one name study, because she is recorded as an Orlando in the LDS Index for 1881.

Baptisms - St George the Martyr Church in Prizzi, Palermo Province

Unless noted otherwise, these babies were baptized the day they were born.
