Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Hi Collette, glad to see you are still on line. You helped me 5 year's ago to find my Family of Breretons from Liverpool back into Cheshire. Quite a famous family but whilst I thought I may be the" only Squire in the village " my Gt.Gt.G/dad was a farm labourer! However I know the family links now, via marriage etc back to William the Conqueror! You put me on the track! Met a brick wall with his birth and marriage but visited churchyards etc and now know origins through the Lord Breretons of Brereton Cheshire to The Danes who conquered Normandy, the Old Norse who conquered the Orkneys and intermarried with the Kings of Scotland! I have just rejoined the forum, last time on I had to appologise to the Administrator, didn't realise who he was, had the Wombat walking all over West Derby looking for my Nan! You put me on the track and I thank you! I knew my family history in part but started at the wrong end!
New search for you if you dont mind. Whilst I worked most of my life in and around Liverpool, born on the Wirral I obviosly new Liverpool was the Capital of Ireland, all my Mums and Dads Mums ancestors are Irish, I did not know of the Italian residents in Liverpool. I have a neighbour, Italian origin from Liverpool.
Family Names, Innelli, Volante and Simeone. Have most cencus,BMD,s etc but no location of origins in Italy. Have you any info?
From hopefully an old friend, Tony Brereton. Remember The Pontack? Kind regards Tony.
p.s. Love your pics.

Hi Tony and Collette

Sorry for butting into your post.

I have the Volante family attached to my tree on Anx, I added a descendent of my other half and was kindly contacted by another Anx member who allowed me to access his private tree. I have a male Volante born 1836 with, birth place in Italy. The Inelli family I have as just from Italy. The Simeone/Simeoni family, I have from a named place in Italy.

Not sure if I can post the information direct as it was given by a member with Private tree on Anx, so would not want to upset them, can anyone advise???. Collette you may also be aware of the above information also. I remember the Pontack, I was born off St Anne Street, as were my family members, and my partners dad and his family.

Hope I can help with your enquiry.

regards

Michelle

If you are unable to contact the person on Ancestry, perhaps you could give the place name, advising that it is unconfirmed and that the information needs to be corroborated, but perhaps crediting the person who gave it. Any further information, such as the whole tree would need to be agreed with the person on Ancestry of course,

Hi padjo1for reply I am an Ancestry member so may get help there. Beenn in Italian BMD records this morning but it looks like a long trawl! Thank You Tony
