  1. 1.  Johansen (John) FortinatosJohansen (John) Fortinatos was born on 17 Dec 1877 in Serifos, Greece; died in 1939 in Cardiff Rd, Glamorganshire [given age 61].

    Notes:

    John fortinatos was in the merchant navy, and there are a few records of him being on ships and various ports. Interestingly he was convicted of manslaughter in a cork court around 1910. There is a nice newspaper article about it. It seems when he was released he disembarked at Cardiff moved to Barry and started a new life, I don't believe he was involved in anything else but continued as a donkey man, and died in 1939. He was given a service medal for the great war.
