Hello Debra,
So we are very distantly connected by marriage!
I don't suppose you know if the Fenwick Capaldi's are connected to the Kensington or Smithdown Capaldi's?
My Capaldi line are from a Village a little north from Cassino, called San Michele.
There was a George Capaldi and Emilia D'Annunzio who married in 1948. Any knowledge?
Jamie
We have a very strong Musical line in our Family, including Jim Capaldi, down to Nick Capaldi, etc.
Hi Jamie I think the Fenwick and the Kensington Capaldi's are the same family. The Emilia D'Annunzio you mentioned has to be some relation to my family, I find if you dig hard enough you find a line that leads back to the same family who came from Agnone a little further northwards towards Rome. The Italians were great musicians and many made a very good living from it too. If you have any stories from the Italian community i would love to hear them, I'm writing another book at the moment and trying to find some info on the Italian School that most 2nd gen immigrant children attended. So a bit of help would be great.
Thanks Jamie...

I believe it is his grandson who is now running the family marble memorial business near Allerton.cemertry.
Debz, you ought to interview my cousin's uncle Ray Baccino from Raymond Place off Limekiln Lane. He's in the Gardens of Stone film and a real hoot with some great stories to tell. His family I think originated in Napoli and he mentions his relations the Boners from Italy too. Say I send you, you'll be ok.
Hi Az the Grassi family you mentioned still have a marble business in Garston, i had the pleasure of meeting the family. Paulo and son Andrew actually made a fantastic marble plaque in memeory of the great Dom Volante which now has pride of place in a local boxing club.Quote:
