Tognarelli marries Fagan

[claire31]

Within our family tree I have found a marriage between Elizabteh J Fagan and Renzo A L Tognarelli in 1942.  She is deffinitley from Workington and I think he was too.  The marriage appears to have taken place down in Oxford.  There is a Tognarelli family in Whitehaven on the 1901 Census consisting of 3 brothers and their cousin Celestion.   Celestino married in Barrow and then moved to Ulverston.  The other brothers were Ferrucio, Filippo and Giovanne.  If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you know about this - under the heading Cafes, Snack Bars and Tea Rooms,

H & R Tognarelli Ltd
46 Pow Street, Workington, Cumbria, CA14 3AG
01900 602317

so there is still a TOGNARELLI presence in Workington.

Don't know the family personally but I am from the area and know the cafe - it was really good.  I think they used to make their own ice cream (if my memory serves me well).

I'll ask around and see if anyone knows what happened to the family.

I'll keep you posted.

Thank you for helping out.  Every bit helps!!!!!!!  I had seen the Cafe when I conducted a generic search but couldn't get much info other than it was there and that there had been this large ice cream empire!!

If you are local, - well local knowledge can alwasy be such a bonus!

Thanks again

Claire,

I have been conducting family research down the Fagan line, who came to Workington from Ireland.  I am now looking at the wider branches of the tree which include the marriage of Elizabeth J Fagan, to Renzo AL Tognarelli in 1942.  Elizabeth would be second cousin, I think to our family and I am simply trying to piece together the history of the families, and  to establish if Renzo fits in with the Tognarelli family that I have found living in Whitehaven in 1901.  Any info to piece together the puzzle is greatfully received.

Thank you

 Claire
