Dear Past People of Ancoats.. We are a group of people trying to have our Church St Michaels Ancoats re-opened, the church was closed down, without consultation with the people and just a few weeks notice. We believe St Michaels, belongs to the people of Ancoats and with all the new redevelopment of the area should remain for the future. Each Sunday since the closure we have held a prayer meeting outside at 1100am please come and support us in our endevours to retain our Church... God Bless..

Congratulations on a great web site. A Pasquale D'Agostino carried a gilded cross in a religious procession in 1890 in Manchester. Does anyone have any genealogy about this man? Which part of Italy did he come from? Do D'Agostinos still live in Manchester?

Ciao, Leonard D'Agostino

Tony

I've found your website today and I found it fascinating. I hoped to find my family mentioned as they moved from Genoa to Ancoats around 1860. The family surname was Cassinelli but became Anglocised to Cashinella. I appreciate our family came to England before most of the other Italian families but I wondered if you could add the name to the surname list on your website.

Regards.

Nicola Wright

Hello Tony,

Just a note to ask whether you could add the name COPPOLA to the list of family surnames on your web site. My own research shows that there were COPPOLAs in Ancoats from 1876 to at least 1901. They lived in Pump Street for many years, next door to the Granelli family. Anybody quick referencing the family surnames page on your web site would then have an important link to the name Coppola in the Manchester area.

Thanks in anticipation

Hello Tony Rea!

My great grandfather, Giovanni Nicolajo Gonnella, born in Barga, Italy, in 1845 and married to Maria Francesca Turicchi, emigrated to Manchester in approximately 1875. He later moved on to the U.S. Unfortunately, we have lost track of his many brothers and were wondering if someone reading your message board may be a descendant of theirs. We have a picture of Giovanni taken in Manchester along with another fellow which no one in our family can identify.

Thanks a bunch.

Toni Gonnella

My Great Grandfather was an Italian Bacigalupo from the Liguria region [We think he came from the Chiavari area] He settled in Curry Rivel in Somerset and the name changed to the English version Basgallop just before WW1. I am not aware of any Manchester connection but guess it must be the same family? Does anyone have details of Bacigalupo/i,s leaving for England in 1860s

My great great grandfather was a famous circus performer known as "The Great Lorenzo". I would like to know if anyone has any info on theses names and can tell me where in Italy the name Lorenzo originates. Regards Albert

Date: 24 July 2004 21:29:19

My great-grandparents came to Northern California from the Santa Maria Del Taro region on Northen Italy, sometime around 1910. I was told my great-grandfather was a postmaster and his wife was a teacher. They came to America sometime after they retired. They had several sons and at least one daughter, with names begining with A and going to G. Some of the children's names were: Bruno, Camillo (my grandfather), Dario, Elda (daughter), Fabio, & Gino. It was interesting to find information about the Granelli people who settled in England and came from the same region as my family. My immediate and extended family is very small. As far as I know, there are no members with the Granelli surname who are directly related to our group.

My grt grandfather Anthonio Arcucci immagrated from Capri, Italy to this area where he lived and worked and eventually married Isabella Baker. In the early 1900s they moved to America and settled in Chicago where they opened an Ice-cream cone factory. Later they also opened an ice-cream shop. Finding this link has been wonderful. Thanks for helping me to figure out who grandpa Arcucci found the ice cream industry. If anyone has any information of Arcucci's I would love to hear from you. Ciao, Jerri
