Capaldi Cafe & milk bar on Smithdown rd?

**Capo** · 07-28-2010

I knew Alessandro (alex - pictured) was the owner of the Capaldi cafe and milk bar on smithdown, but i was unaware of a G. Capaldi? I would like to find out the connection and Christian name of the G. Capaldi. I don't suppose you know a way for me to find out please?

Did he really wear that cap all day?

? do you?

Capo,

there was a Giuseppe Capaldi who was born in Liverpool in 1926 according to Ancestry.
The only other 'G' was a Gerard A Capaldi born in Liverpool in 1945, again according to Ancestry.
About the Park Road one, I have to be honest and say I couldn't swear that it was owned by a Capaldi, but I'm pretty sure it was.

Dave.

Cheers for that dave!
I will look into it.
I have heard other people mention some Capaldi Shop on Park rd before too!

Are you aware of the song 'Capaldi's Cafe' by the brilliant Liverpool band Deaf School?
The song was written by band member Eric Shark who sadly died earlier this year.
A tribute message board was opened on the bands website (google deafshoolmusic) for fans to pay their respects to Eric and a post was made by the Capaldi Family thanking Eric for the song.
The song is about the Kensington cafe and is a classic.

Have you tried this site for marriages?....

http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk

There are thirteen Capaldi marriages in the Lancashire area from 1901 to 1978, could be useful. :-)

http://www.192.com has a lot of Capaldis in the Liverpool area... might be worth a phone around.

Have you spoken to any of the existing ones face to face yet Capo. That's always your best bet, especially with the older folk and all their memories before they die off.
