Hi All, the village the Cuneo family came from is called Coreglia Ligure ( I have pictures if anyone is interested - it's very small) in the north of Italy. Luigi and Andrea came over in the 1840s. They started Cuneo ice cream company which carried on with Luigi and sons, my link is to Andrea, he is my husbands ancestor.

Hello,

My great grandmothers sister was Margaret Jane Carr. She married Charles Hampshire. Their daughter Gladys marries Louis Cuneo in 1923. I would be interested to find out any information about them and their family or any photos. I know they had three daughters.

Thank you

Hi Maggie … email me via the website

Hello,

Sorry I think I might  be late to the party, but my ancestors were Andrea/Andrew Indeco Cuneo (1827-83) and Maria Garibondi or Garibaldi (1834-1904). Andrew and Maria (she later Anglicised her name to Mary) were both born in Coreglia Ligure in Italy. They came to Sheffield with Andrew's brother Luigi Louis, and his wife Columbia Rocco. As far as I know, they ran an ice cream business. Luigi was also an organ grinder.

Andrew had a daughter who married a man called "John Carboni". They ran an ice cream business too.

Andrew and Maria are my great great great grandparents. Andrew was a gardener, and Maria was a dressmaker. They also had an income from lodgers (mainly Irish ones) living in their house.

In 1881, for example, they had a lodger called "John O'Donnell" living with them. John was 60 in 1881, and worked as a "boot and shoe maker."

I have done some research on my family tree. So, please feel free to ask me a question on my tree, and I will do my very best to answer it.

I would be very happy to know if anyone has some information to share with me, or any pictures of Andrew and his family.

Thank you very much, I hope this helps.
