You know, Jora, I knew that about Spittal but it hadn't clicked. And, given where my great-grandmother lived, that would fit the bill perfectly for a chance meeting. Wonderful - all he needed was a hut and some ice. At least it's a consistent story. All I need now is a photo of Spittal Beach with said moustachioed ice cream seller and a clearly visible copy of the Berwick News.

I checked as soon as Mike gave me the name and no Rizza(variations) living in Berwick in 1891 that I could see.

Is it Michelangel that you're trying to locate, Mike?

Added - I see that  you have Michelangelo in Glasgow and it's Maria you're looking for but she might be in Glasgow or Italy so I'm not sure who we're looking for  :-\

What was her maiden surname?


Just come across this old post..Michelangelo Rizza did have a Ice Cream shop, that was run by his wife ...i have a lot of info and history, on this Rizza family, my uncle married into...if it is the Rizza you are looking for??

Hi dizzybella

That's the man  ;D

I'm sending you a PM with my email address.

Your choice of username is interesting - do Isabellas run in your family too?

... and I've just noticed that I left an unanswered question hanging.

Maria's maiden surname was Pacelli (same as Hitler's Pope, but that's not surprising as she was a distant cousin of his - I got that little snippet from her great (a few times) grandaughter.
