Tognarelli ice-cream parlour owners
« on: Monday 10 November 08 19:21 GMT (UK) »

This is a very interesting history, I would like to have more information on this family. Which is their origin in Italy? -When they arrived to UK?
Who were? -Who their descendants that possess the Coffee and Snaks street bars on 46 Pow street Workington Cumbria whose initials are “H” and “R?”
Thank you. F/E

Hi f/e

Looking at the census returns they seem to have appeared in the 1880s - there is an entry for an Angelina Tognarelli, Ice cream maker, aged 43 in Sheffield in 1891 but I cannot see the name in 1881 or earlier.
RG12/3822/59/49
60 Little Pond St
Angelina Tognarelli, Ice cream maker, aged 43 in Sheffield
with Lea, her son aged 8, born Newcastle, her father Louis Lazzarina, 67, born Italy and niece Clementina Lazzerina, 9, born Lincoln.
(There is a place in Italy given in the place of birth - it looks like Instan? but that does not sound right. - might have to do a screen shot and post it for others to interpret)

More later this evening

Regards

My last name is Tognarelli. I live in Workington. Even though I am quite young I have done some research with my aunt. The Tognarelli's are from Barga in Tuscany and some of the family moved to Britain towards the end of the 1800s. My side of the family owned some cafe s in finckle street as well as Station Road and we owned cafe s in other areas. The other side of my family owned other cafe s of witch one cafe still exists called Tognarelli's cafe. H and R stands for Harry and Renzo two brothers who lived in Workington and owned a ice cream factory opposite where the courts now are in Workington. My family went from Barga to Glasgow in a time when the harvest was bad and from Glasgow they moved to Whitehaven then finally to Workington. Other members moved down south and had a bus company my grandad called the Toggie who owned it the boss. Be careful looking at the census for 1911 as they have missed spelt Tognarelli for one person caus they could not read his handwriting. I hope this will help I will try to answer any other questions you may have.
