Hi, I know this one is a long shot but wonder if any one could help me, my grandfather Antonio Marrazza came across from Settefrati late 1800's early 1900's. He arrived in Scarborough where he met my Grandmother Alice Grey later coming to Hull where he married her at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Spring Street, Hull. They had five children Philomena, Joseph, Mary, Ann and Peter (my father) all of whom are now deceased. I know many Italians came from Settefrati and I wondered if anyone had heard the name before or could give me information on where to perhaps look records up for my grandfather.(ie birth records, ship passenger lists).
Many thanks Lynn Marrazza

Dear Tony,

I am emailing you in the hope that you can help me locate information relating to my mother's side of the family.

Her Grand-father Celeste Coniola lived in Ancoat's little Italy and you actually have a picture of him on your website (on the Ice Cream Families page). We know Celeste's father was called Dominic, but are not sure of his mother's name. We don't know where they are from either.

We believe Celeste came over to the UK in April 1883 from Pontari Genova, but we have not been able to locate any other information than this. My parents have been to Pontari but have not been able to trace any records for Celeste or any of his family.

Do you have any information on the Coniola family or could you please point me in the right direction to find out more information. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Michael Tansella
