My great grandfather's sister married a man called Tony Bosoni (born around 1899). I'm not sure which part of England there were from but they were from Italy orginally and married Hilda Morgan in London. Tony had a brother Bulla/Buller - not sure which and Tony and Hilda had a son Albert 'Tony' Bosoni - who later changed his name to Tony Bradshaw and emigrated with his wife Bobby.
I know you are probably not interested in all of that but I thought I would put a little bit of information in case there are any other Bosoni relatives about.
I have several pictures of Tony on his wedding day and after as well as pictures of Tony Bradshaw but they are mainly just family snaps not really showing the community.

Hi, Thanks for the information. I am interwested in other Italian families who came to England.
I think my grandfather came overland from Northern Italy to England in Aug 1920. He was Fiore Sartor who settled in Clerkenwell area of london & I am trying to find out when he arrived in England & where he first lived but I am new to it so am finding my feet.

Hi, can anyone help me to trace when my grandfather & his siblings came over to England from Udine in northern Italy. His name was Fiore Sartor, he came to London in about Aug 1920.
Could he have travelled overland as I can find no passenger records. Thanks, Gill

Gillian, there are very little records of ppl arriving in this country.If any, maybe on the National Archive website, but I find this very hard to naviagate! My own Great grandfather arrived much earlier, in 1895, and I found this info, on his Alien Registration card form the 1st World War, this was at the West Midland Police Musesum. Maybe there is something similar for WW2? Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi SheronB !

Can you give me a hint where to look for very early immigrants from the later Italy ? (preferably online without having to travel to London).

I'm researching  Giovanni Torriano (who wrote this famous Select Italian Proverbs in English). His father (Alexander T., Italian priest who converted to protestantism and married in Geneva) fled from Toscany around 1620 via Geneva to London.

My questions: When did they arrive in England ? Who was his mother ? Who was his grandfather / where in Toscany did they come from ?

Regards,

Sven

Hi Sven!!!

gosh you are talking very early on!!! I doubt you will find anything on his arrival in England, unless any parish records, hold any info, or you can obtain any documents, maybe try the National Archive website. As for details of his family, again, unless you find any info on the PRs, you will have to go/contact Tuscany for info, nothing online,I'm afraid!

I suggest you join this forum:

Thanks, Kathfen, but that's more than 200 years too late ...

I suppose that this Giovanni Torriano "founded" the whole Torriano dynasty in  England, traces of them are found in India, Ceylon, South Africa, Canada, Australia and ... Germany.

Your Torini are from Italy of the 19th century, so they are really Italian...

"My" Giovanni T. edited one of the first English-Italian dictionaries (Florio-Torriano), and he might have been close to Shakespeare too.

Regards from Hamburg,

Sven

Has anyone come across a de Core family who originated in Italy.

Michael de Core (fish salesman) married an Alice Holland in 1906 and named his father as Michael de Core (fruit grower) (Deceased).

He could not sign his name and was similarly handicapped when he joined the army in 1918 at which stage he still described himself as "Italian", occupation - "cook".
