    1. [Anglo-Italian] (no subject)
    2. I am very excited about this group and feel it is much needed. There is so much information and support for American Italians that us Anglo Italians often get forgotten!! I have some (hopefully useful!) information to post to the group. I was hoping to do it today but my son has a bad ear infection so it was impossible. Maybe later on this week..... I'm glad that the book "The Italian Factor" was mentioned. I found it very interesting and it was one of the things I was going to include in my posting! Does anyone know of any other books dedicated to the Anglo Italian community? For anyone who's interested the Italian Procession (Sagra) will be held on 21 July 2002. As many of you will know, this takes place in the streets surrounding the Italian Church on the corner of Clerkenwell Road and Back Hill. In addition to the procession, there is also a market selling regional foods, religious articles, etc. There is really a great atmosphere and it makes you really proud of your italian origins. I've been going since I was a child and my son (who's five) also attends every year! It is the perfect opportunity for those who would normally feel a bit conspicuous to go in to the Italian Church as there are so many people milling about you are inconspicuous!! It is growing in popularity and even attracts press and TV coverage. A couple of years ago I was interviewed at the Procession for Italy's Canale 5 (I'm sure my contribution is on an editing floor somewhere in Italy!). I was very interested to read the list of people in Great Bath Street. My great grandparents, Luigi & Marie Rapetti, were living at Little Bath Street around the same time. Does anyone have any info re this street? Regards Sarah Lucia RAPETTI researching RAPETTI and MEANI

I too possess NBI and found the entry some months ago and sought to follow up the source. Michael Gandy very kindly put me in touch with the lady researcher who transcribed the records and, for a small fee, she went to a considerable amount of trouble to try to trace my ggrandfather James Arnaboldi, thought to have been born in London around 1835. In case it is of interest to others, James went to Jamaica in the Caribbean (albeit I found a J. Arnaboldi in C1860 for Jamaica, New York as well - turned out to be a bit of a red herring). James had three opticians shops ion Kingston Jamaica but sent two of his children back to the UK with £1,000 each sometime before 1881. C1881 shows my grandfather Joseph Victor Garibaldi Arnaboldi aged 19, clerk and optician and I have his marriage cert for an RC wedding in Holborn in 1883. Sadly for me, my RC friends have yet to find any other Arnaboldi records around 1827 other than the one you found. Joseph was the only one in C1881, so I suspect the family moved on to Jamaica and other British colonies. I am in touch with RC Archbishops Office in Kingston re a possible marriage of James there, but no reply yet. I am also seeking the historic migration information of the noble Arnaboldi family, of whom there are records relating to 700AD. There are challenges with UK genealogy and even more so with overseas connections. If anyone needs an Italian researcher, please let me know as someone has offered their services to me. Thank you again for your helpful approach. More such info. is always welcome. Bye for now. Brian Symonds, Bristol, UK --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by Expert Anti-Virus.

    3. Hi Janet Thank you for offering to do look ups. I'd be grateful if you could tell me who was at 7 Eyre St Hill in 1891 census. I hope that either another relative or one or both of Anthony GHIRARDANI / GERADINE (see other known spellings below) b 1862 and Margaret WOOD may have lived there. Anthony was an asphalter. I have been unable to find most of my family on the 1881 census so there may be another spelling of our name.

    3. Again, taken from an article by Pino Maestri in Backhill magazine. He reproduced a school photo from St Peter's Italian school, which I would guess dates from the 1920s, among whom (Pino's, not mine!), many of the spellings may be approximate. I picked up on Sartori and Ghirandani from among the names that some listers are interested in, and I think Lennie Sabini may be from the same family as the notorious gangsters of that name.

    2. Elaine Collins
    3. In the Finsbury archive I cam across a number of extracts from Backhill magazine, which is published by the community around St Peter's church known as 'Little Italy'. The archive has an incomplete bound set of issues, which I haven't been though yet, but among the cuttings that were in the loose boxes, there were a number of charming pieces by Pino Maestri. Unfortunately they don't always mention the dates he's talking about, but he died in 1992, so we're probably talking about 1910-1930. From memory and in collaboration with other old timers he came up with the folowing list of people living in part of the area. I have transcribed it from the map. More than one name on a line means multiple occupancy of a building: Great Bath Street: Mariani Bonaiuto Bencivenga Tiano Carter Sullivan Mc Carthy Fusillo Johnson/Politi Santella Bulldog Barotta/CavalliPasquale Cura Bellini/Pett's Workshop mariani Massa Borolle/Carrano (Carran above?)

    1. [Anglo-Italian] Ashphalters
    2. Elaine Collins
    3. Hi Felicia, As far as I'm aware (and other may know better) the asphalters picked up the trade once they were here. I found the following piece today in Finsbury archive, on a single sheet extracted from the Finsbury Borough Council annual Report 1904-5: Ashpalt (sic) Workers and Paviours A few Englishmen are employed in this line of work, but, practically speaking, it is mostly done throughout London by Italians. They come as a rule from Piacenza, Parma, Milan and Piedmont generally. they work in gangs for special firms, paving companies, or building contractors. Usually they work by the day and not by the hour, being paid about 4s. 6d. per diem. The common hours of work are from 6 am to 6 pm, and after work is over they retire to their quarters and spend the evenings in the common rooms of the houses in which they live, smoking, singing or hanging about. The head of a well-know asphatlitng firm states that he employs thirty to forty Italians for laying asphalt, and he prefer Italians to Englishmen for two chief reasons. In the first place, they are said to be more reliable, and in the second place they can stand the heat of the hot new pavement better than English workmen. In piece about ice cream sellers 'Come ci vedevano: halfpenny ices' by Adophe Smith in Streeet-Life in London, 1876 (reprinted in Il Punto 74) Smith discusses how many of the Italians returned to Italy for the winter, having saves the money they earned doing seasonal work such as selling ice cream: "...thoise who have been less fortunate, and cannot afford to return to italy for the winter, find some sort of employment in England, many being engaged to lay the aasphate in the streets of London or of provincial towns." Occupations of the Italians in Holborn 1895 (source: GL Gomme, London in the Age of Victoria 1898, extracted in David R Green, 'Little Itlay in Victorian London, Camden History Review 21) ice cream, potatoes and chestnuts 2000 Organ grinders and makers 1060 Ice cream trade 300 Furniture etc 250 Asphalters 180 Mosaic Layers 130 Others 40 Total 3960 And it looks as though lister Daphne Dashfield's family might have employed the ancestors of a fair few of the rest of us. Terri Colpi in the Italian Factor: The Italian Community in Great Britain (Mainstream 1991) says that "by 1930s Ghirardani was the main Italian firm employing asphalters". In a list of captions in t he archive, for which we couldn't find the corresponding pictures, there was a caption mentioning 'An outing to Hastings by asphalt workers (mostly Italians) from the firm run by three Ghirandiani bros.' The caption was written by Pino Maestri, who contributed many items to Backhill magazine, and who died in 1992. He was obviously a mine of information and if anyone has any connections with the family, please let us know. It would be great to get our hands on that photo! I'll put most of this info up on the website, but if anyone has anything to add or pics we could use, please get in touch. Elaine Coordinator AIFHS

    1. [Anglo-Italian] How to find Naturalization records from PRO
    2. Ruth
    3. To be able to find your naturalization records first you need a rough idea of the year that they arrived. Then go to PRO web page and look up reference HO334 and note the reference number for the years around that time, they could not ask for naturalization until they had lived in the UK for at least 8 years so if they arrived in 1900 check from 1908. If you are unable to go to Pro I suggest that you do the same as I did and look up a volunteer or pay someone to do the search. Give them the reference numbers and a rough idea of the year and ask them to check the HO 1 index for the surname. On there they will find the full reference number and a copy of the Naturalization certificate can be asked for. With the full reference number you can then request from PRO a copy of the complete records. The ref. number used is the same as on the Naturalization certificate but instead of HO 334 at the begining request HO 144 and then the reference number. I must admit that I had a wonderful suprise when these records arrived as there was over 30 pages which included the full petition with all there personal info, including birth dates and Parents name also where they were born. House address from the time that they had arrived in the UK up until the petition, what occupations, where they had worked, even letters from the local police verifying who he was. Five witnesess are used to confirm how long the person has lived in the UK and a copy of the local newspaper with the announcment that this person is requesting naturalization. Even the minutes used by the HO are included. Best of all was a copy of a letter writen by my Grandfather requesting the return of his passport whilst waiting for the confirmation of his British Nationality. This took me a couple of months in receiving everything but was well worth the wait. Once you have the first reference number you can personally request the HO 144 directly from Pro. If you have any doubts you are welcome to contact me. Ruth

    2. Ruth
    3. Hi everybody, I,m new at this mailing list, but I think I have a lot to offer. I live in sunny Spain and as both Italian and Spanish are very similar I have no problems translating records, I have done my own for 1866 and onwards so you are welcome to send me your records to be translated. My Grandfather Giuseppe Desio came from Lake Como in Lombardy, we visited the town last summer, I went to the local council and was able to see several old records for the family called Anagrafe these give the family situation Head of family, wife and children also the year they left Como also included is the death dates of any of the family that had died before they left the area. I have also been lucky enough to obtain all my Grandfathers Naturalisation records from Pro, I have to check out exactly how I went about this before explaining this on the mailing list, but if you need any info. please get in touch. I have a mine of information on Como in the 1800's including a street map for 1766 and building plans for the houses in the old part of Como town for 1881. I am now concerntrating on seamen in Cardiff as Giuseppe was a seaman who lived and worked there. I have the street directories for Penarth from 1902 upto 1920. If anyone has any advice on this part of my research it would be welcomed. Ruth Rowlands Family names being researched Desio Arrigo Aliverti Pagani Mascielli = (Machiavello Cardiff)

    1. [Anglo-Italian] Lookups - and some good news!
    2. Here's my twopennorth. Not many Italians in this vicinity, I am afraid, but if it helps anyone (you never know!), I have the 1891 census fiches for Fleetwood and Longridge (Lancashire) likewise the Memorial Inscriptions for these two cemetaries and also for Poulton-Le-Fylde (near Blackpool, Lancs). Also the Parish Register fiches for Longridge. And now a story of hope - never ever give up. After 2 years of trying in vain to find any information at all about my Italian FERRIE family, I got an Email out of the blue 2 days ago from another of their descendants, whom I didn't even know existed. He gave me a lot of information about the family in Stafford from the turn of the century to the present day, and I was even able to find out the exact date of death of one of my 'missing' FERRIE Anglo-Italians (can't wait for the certificate!). He found me because I have my interests registered on various Gen. sites and one day, as he idly entered the name FERRIE in a search engine, my interests in Staffordshire and Liverpool came up.
