My Italian Ancestors

[chiddicks]

I have decided to start writing a family history blog to record my own family tree, to promote interest in our hobby, and to hopefully find people with similar interests to my own. I have shared the links below. Any comments and feed back are most welcome, both positive and negative. Please feel free to comment on the blog pages as well.


I have also started writing a blog for Family History Magazine, see link below

Apologies for the delay in replying to you, but I have been away in Europe for 6 days.

In reply to the Stampa's

My Stampa connection starts with Dominic Stamp born approx 1765 in Como Italy.

Dominic emigrated to Edinburgh in Scotland.


The following document gives more substantial information about Dominic's place of origin: Register of Aliens 1798-1803 (Ref: SL115/2/1) who arrived in the UK. www.edinburgh.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/1276/registers_of_aliens_1798-1825.pdf


There are another three people on the Register of Alient who share a surname and profession.
Luigi Stampa, 30, Milan Italy to Dover 1784, Leith Street, Barometer Merchant. (calculated birth year -1754)
Valentino Stampa, 42, Milan Italy to [port not mentioned] 1797, Leith Street, Barometer merchant. (calculated birth year - 1755)
Charles Stampa, 32, from Como Italy to Yarmouth 1798, 14 Leith Street, Carver, gilder and looking glass maker (calculated birth year - 1766)
Dominic and Charles have birth dates one year apart and are possibly brothers. Valentino and Luigi are likely to be related.

From various trade directories we can establish that Dominic was a Carver, Gilder and Print Seller, plus we also know that the Stampa family made Barometers.

Addresses include:
1804 - 14 Leith Street, Edinburgh
1805 - 14 Terrace, Edinburgh
1820 - 69, Princess Street, Edinburgh
1821 - 6, St.David's Street, Edinburgh
1824 - 18 Calton Hill, Edinburgh
1825 - 54, Leith Street, Edinburgh
1827 - 60 Leith Street, Edinburgh



MARRIAGE
Dominic married Mary Hair sometime before 1804 (when their first known child was born). There was a 19 year age gap, making Dominic approximately 39 and Mary approximately 21.


CHILDREN
Dominic had a total of 7 known children in Scotland; only three of these children survived him. Only two of his children (Nicolina and Louis) went on to have families of their own.
His first known child was born when he was 39 years old, Nicolina (who may have been his last child) was born when he was 57. Dominic started this family approximately 6 years after he moved to Scotland.

 Children:

Agnes Stampa (1804-1805)
Mary Caroline Stampa (1805-1892)
 
Henry Louis Stampa (1809-1812)
 

Charly Francis Stampa (1813-1844)
Lewis/Louis Anthony Stampa (1815-1885)
 
George Peter Stampa (1818-1843)
 
Nicolina Elizabeth Stampa (1822-1919)
