Firstly, My name is Vincent Cashinella and I went to school with Dominic Rea at St Patricks school. At one time, my family lived in the Ancoats area as they were in the 1908 census. I believe my father went to St Michael's school & I believe they lived on Cotton St. My Fathers name was Vincent Fenton Cashinella. I am his only son Vincent Cashinella and I have a sister, Mary Cashinella. I also had a sister who was killed in a Road Traffic Accident when she was young in the 1930's (around aged 6). I have recently lost an aunty (Teresa Cashinella - maiden name). I would be interested to know any information you have on my family or friends around that time.

Thank you.

Dear Tony,

I've just stumbled across your website whilst researching my family history and thought what a very good site it was, well laid out, very informative and interesting to see the photo's of the region as I believe my family CITRONE (CEDRONE) and ALONZI also come from Arpino and Sora regions.

I have a Rea that has popped up in my family tree: Vincenzo Rea married to Colomba Citrone and they had a son called Domenico born cira 1897 - died 3/6/1976. I believe they lived in Bishop Auckland UK. I have no other details.

I've just been informed of another Rea who may be connected to our family - Camilla Rea who married Domenico Citrone. Domenico is my great grandfathers father who we have not been able to find any info on as he probably remained in Italy whilst some of his children came to the UK in the 1890's.

Is there by any chance a connection to your family? I'm hoping to go out to Italy next year to see the towns where our ancestors came from. In order to make the most of that trip I need to do some research into the Italian records because so far I've concentrated on the UK side of things because that has been much easier to find info on.

Kind regards
Linda Citrone

My G G Grandfather John Ambrose, was a Confectioner and Ice Cream vendor for many years, he was known as "Daddy Ambrose" He had this business in the years 1851 onwards, and his son John Henry Ambrose conducted the business as well. I read a short message that one family member lived next door to the Ambrose family who made ice creams. Maybe someone can assist me to find out more information on our Ambrose family, Jan

Subject: Ancoats, Little Italy - Ambrose family
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 08:50:18

Hi,

My name is Jan Saunders and I am a descendant of Henry Ambrose b. 1778 Ormskirk, Lancashire.

I've been in contact with some other descendants who claim that the Ambrose family settled at Ancoats, Little Italy, and were all ice cream men, that they originated from Italy.

Are you able to assist me at all? Having looked at the website, it is interesting to see that there is a D'Ambrosio surname on your list, was wondering if this is where we originated from.

I do know that his son John Ambrose b. 1823 was definitely a Confectioner in Manchester, but I did not know about the Ice Cream vendors as also being connected.

Was wondering if you could let me know further please

We live in Australia, and it is difficult to go and visit the town of Manchester, well we hope to one day soon, but in the meantime would greatly appreciate any assistance you can give me.

Regards
Jan Saunders

I am looking ino my husband's family tree. His g g grandfather, Siegfridio Delsoldato was a farmer in Chiavari, Liguria and married into the Gaspirini family who were quite wealthy Basil farmers in the same region. I know there was a daughter Tina and her descendents are called Peruzzi, still in Italy. My husband's g gfather Luigi came over to Manchester in the early 1900s and another brother, possibly Guiseppe went to America. If anyone has anything they can help me with or point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Grazie
