Can anyone recommend a reference to help track down when the first Chiocchi's arrived from Italy. They ended up in Liverpool and my hunch is that they arrived in the end of the 1700's / early 1800's.
Cheers all.

not much help I know, but I worked with someone called Chiocchi in Liverpool who told me her family were stonemasons and came over to work on St George's Hall in the city - does this narrow down the timeline at all?

Thanks for your reply Iria. I think I have most of that info. I also have a Louis Chiocchi who was born in the city (assumed) in 1800.

Sorry this is a bit off-topic but while looking for some of my relatives, noticed that there is a large concentration of people/families born in Italy in the Holborn area 1851 Ref: HO 107/1515.
Hope that helps someone

I have only just found your posting. I have a 5x ggrandfather who appears on documents as Joseph Cherrozlei. He was born c 1810 in Tuscany and is found in Manchester, England in census from 1841 to 1881. He was a plaster figurine maker.
The name Cherrozlei disappears from England after 1891 census.
Looking at his marriage in 1832 at Manchester Cathedral I discover that a witness was Louis Chiochi. I am wondering whether the two surnames are in fact really the same merely being anglicised by different people at differnet times, and that Louis and Joseph(Guiseppe? perhaps) were brothers.
I'd be interested to hear from you.
Regards

Have you tried the 'Alien arrivals' on ancestry? I have some early Italian immigrants too, but have never worked out how they got to London. They were called Ciaccia but changed their name to Church!
