Angelo Boggiano & Maria Ciliegia(?) both recorded as Italian. They had a son Pietro b 1830 and bap. 1830 at Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London. Trying to establish when they came to London, where in Italy they came from and if they married in UK or Italy or elsewhere.
Family moved to Liverpool before 1835. Angelo b.c. 1800. Following his death in 1841, Maria remarried John Ginnochio (believe the two families were connected somehow). Maria’s father was Bartholmeo Ciliegia, a lawyer.
Not sure where to go from here, any suggestions/info welcome.
You may be in luck - there are about 6 pages on Little Italy , Liverpool and Boggiano family are mentioned - here is a list of the families who came to Liverpool from Italy - the MAJORITY from PISCINO - A village situated between Rome and Naples

The immigrant families were characteristically very close and supportive of each other, in particular the womenfolk, who demonstrated loyalty and encouragement to their hard working husbands desperately trying to earn enough for his family to survive. In spite of the many hardships they were determined to make a better life for themselves and their children.
Some of the more prominent family names associated with Liverpool's Little Italy are;
Albertini - Baccino - Bartolomeri - Blanki - Boggiano - Bonneretti - Bordessa - Capaldi - Cappella - Chiappe - Cogliolo - Colletta - D'Annunzio - Edro - Fasciole - Ferri - Franchetti - Frediani - Fusco - Gianelli - Granelli - Guzzoni - Iello - Imundi - Innelli - Mancini - Marengo - Minchelli - Miolla - Minghella - Moretta - Muscatelli - Pacelli - Podesta - Riccio - Riozzi - Rocca - Russiano - Sabatini - Santangelli - Sartorri - Silvano - Sinagoea - Tambourini - Temarco - Valerio - Valvona - Varcelli - Ventre - Vermiglio - Volante
Present generations are deeply passionate about their Italian heritage and although the families are now scattered, when they do gather for celebrations they speak fondly of life in the old community. They are also able to give clear and accurate information about their ancestors with detailed descriptions of their occupations.
