Italian north shields 19th century
« on: Saturday 26 April 08 10:27 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to trace information regarding my grandfather Antonio Tetesegge (Tetesagge later Tedesco) who I believe to have been an Italian Immigrant.

Unfortunately the only reference I have is his marriage certificate to my grandmother dated 1911.

His name was Antonio Tetesegge and on 24th October 1911 aged 29 he married Mary E. Chambers at St. Cuthberts RC Church Bedford Street North Shields, Tynemouth.

Both he and his spouse were resident in North Shields at the time of the marriage.

Antonio's occupation is listed as an Ice Cream Vendor on the marriage certificate, his Father is listed as Peter Tetesegge (deceased) also an Ice Cream Vendor.

During WW1 the name seems to have been anglisized to Tedesco.

I have searched the available census records but can find no entries for the Tetesagge name, this makes me believe that either they chose not to record there presence or they arrived in the country after the 1901 census was taken.

I would be very grateful if anyone could advise where to look for possible information.

Many Thanks in Advance

Someone else is looking for this guy!

There is a TEDESCO family living in Darlington on the 1901 census, with a father and son both called Antonio - unfortunately the ages don't match your ancestor, but they may be related?

Thanks Rambler,

The other person looking is my daughter  Grin she hadn't told me of her post on here.

We had already found the Darlington Tedesco's and I have a list of others and name variants from the census records at Ancestry.com but can find no definate connections.

It is my understanding that the name was not changed until after the birth of my mother in 1916 as her and her older sister (born 1913) are registered with the Tetesegge (Tetesagge) name - later children were registered Tedesco and my mothers maiden name on her marriage certificate is Tedesco.

My mother used to tell stories of internment and how (I think) her father spent time in a Seminary in order to avoid it, but I was young and can barely remember the stories.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Graham
I don't Know when immigrants would become entitled to vote but the main Library at North Shields holds old voters registers. If you have your Grandfathers address from his marriage cert.you might be able to find the names of those entitled to vote living at that address before his marriage.
I don't know if this would help any but it may give an idea of how long he had been in the country.

Thanks, that's an interesting idea.

I will have to arrange a trip to North Shields and have a look.
