Italian Immigrants in Bristol

[Capo1]

I am researching my Family. I have found quite alot of names, places and dates, etc. I am very supprised to see there is not much information out there on Italian immigrants in Bristol!
I am aware in my search, most of the Italians were living in the st James part of Bristol around the late 19th and early 20th Century.
My Family were staying in Montague Street as Musicians and Fruit Vendors.
I am hoping to find as much info as possible and find lots of other people with the same interest and in the same position.

Please can anyone post any info on Italian names, addresses, professions and any scanned photo's or pictures, etc from Bristol.

I hope to have a web page in the near future on Bristol Italian Immigrants, if i can get enough information.

Many thanks Jamie Capaldi

I knew some members of a family named CAPEL in Bristol forty years ago - I believe thay may have had Italian origins - Capaldi?

Sorry - it's a long time ago & I'm really not sure of the area of Bristol they lived in. One, I'm sure, was Mary, who would have been born c1920. I also knew a Jim Fionda, who lived (in the 1960s) in Horfield. I am sure thay were all regular attenders at St Mary on the Quay - the Catholic church in the heart of Bristol - do you have access to the registers there?

Yes, you would be right about Jim Fionda. Most of the Fionda's and Capaldi's records were at St Mary's on the quay!

Bristol record office holds all the records.

I'm looking into my family history - ARPINO.  We believe we have connections with Montague Street (the Ricci's in particular) and we think we are related to the Capaldi's.  Any info you have would be great.

I don't suppose you know of a Maria Assunta Ricci, who married a Pietro Pinchera in Bristol??
