Like many others I am trying to trace details of my family history but unsure as to where to start. My great grandparents were Domenic and Dominica Salvatore. They had 3 daughters - Josephine (my grandmother), Victoria and Connie. They had links with the ice cream business and my grandmother met my grandfather whilst selling the ice cream in Albert Park, Salford. Rudi Mancini who is featured on your website was my grandmothers cousin - I remember many a musical night at "The Queens". Would be grateful for any help however small. Best Regards To All

Our Dad, William 'Bill' Bailey son of Nana and Dada Bailey of the Lock House in Ancoats sadly passed away on Wednesday 15th November 2006. Our dad was very well known in the Italian Community in Ancoats. He was born in the Lock House on Pott Street, Ancoats on 2nd July 1926 and was one of two sons born to James and Sarah Bailey. William married Eileen Molloy in St Michael\'s Church in 1940 and they both lived with their four children in Anita Street, Ancoats until 1976. We really miss our dear and kind dad and would like to inform all of his Italian friends that we will be holding a requiem mass at St Cuthberts Church on Palatine Road in Withington at 9.30am on Monday 27th November. Dad will then be buried in Southern Cemetary at 10.30am. You are very welcome to come and pay your respects. God rest his soul. We love you dad.

I came upon this fascinating site when researching the Politi arm of my family. The line appears to begin in 1800 with Celestino Politi who came from Italy some time before 1820. The name appears regularly from then until the present day, with some changes in spelling such as Polite, Pollite, etc. The Politis did not seem to marry into other Italian families. I swould gladly share my research with anyone interested. Best wishes David McNamara

Hi I checked out your list of surnames and was surprised that my grand fathers name was on it 'sinacola'. Are there are more decendants of sinacola out there and as anybody got any information regarding my grand father or even my great grand father. I do know that he came from montecassino in italy and then lived in blackley manchester.
