Title: Italian Relative
Post by: spannerman12 on Saturday 31 July 10 09:26 BST (UK)
Hi all, this is my first posting so I'm hoping that it's in the right forum. My wife's relative came to the UK sometime in the early to mid 1800's originally from, we think, Tuscany in Italy, I can find him on the 1851,1871 & 1881 censuses but not the 1861or earlier than the 1851 censuses, probably not unusual. I have tried checking passenger lists but can find nothing. His name was Pietro Pieraccini and his DOB was 1807, any direction to go would be appreciated.

Hi Spannerman and welcome (and hi Tati :))

Have you got his marriage(s)?

Somebody online has his first marriage as being to Margaret BRADY, 29 Nov 1829, St Nicholas Liverpool.

IGI at www.familysearch.org has that marriage as follows (extracted record):

MARGARET BREADY
PETER PENSENE

Marriage:  19 NOV 1829   Saint Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Margaret P seems to have been around until 1874 (death Jun qtr 1874 Camberwell aged 70) notwithstanding Pietro having "moved on" to Mary Ann by the time he went through a ceremony of marriage with her in 1868.

Pietro is also credited on online trees with the paternity of Joseph (Bastock) Pieraccini (registered Mar qtr 1850 Birmingham simply as Joseph Pieraccini) - mother being, apparently, a Hannah or Ann Bastock.

Matches the 1851 census where Ann Bostock is lodging with Pietro. Don't you think she's also likely to be the one shown as his wife in 1861, Anna?  :)

Agreed.  I'm being a bit slow on the uptake this morning ;)

Peter do 9
Margaret do 30
Mary do 6
Do do [female] 6 months*

You can use the number reference to find the page - if using Ancestry make sure you're in "Old Search" rather than "New Search" and you should find towards the bottom of the search box a place to enter the figures.  Other census providers also support the same reference.

On this occasion you could alternatively just search for Pierachini in the 1861 census and the correct household should be the first result (they're in Luton, Beds).

Hi - all you need to do is post a reply (as you have done here) on the thread you are referring to.  Even if it is an old thread the participants should receive email notification that there is a new post (unless they have disabled notifications).

Hello,

I am a decendant of the Pieraccini family you are enquiring about.

It is true that the name was under several different spellings, making information hard.

What is your connection to the Pieraccini line and could we help each other with information and photo's?



Giacomo Pierachini Father from Italy.

Pietro Pierachini born 1807 Tuscany Italy.

Married to:

Margaret BRADY (1804-1874) 

Children
 Peter John PIERACCINI (1831-1903) 
 Mary Ann PIERACCINI (1834-1901) 
 Josephine PIERACCINI (1840-1842) 

Married to:

 Ann aka Hannah BASTOCK (1829-)
 
 Joesph Bastock  PIERACCINI (1850-1905)  Ann's son, adopted by Pietro.
 James R PIERACCINI (1853-1922) 
 Ameila PIERACCINI (1859-) 

Married to

Mary Ann WILSHIRE (1827-1895) 


I also have all the information from his children, little hard to print all here.

In case others are trying to find the Pieraccini line.  In most of the records, the surname is constantly misspelt. 

Some of the ways it has been spelt on records I have found are:

Pierachini
Pieraccini
Pearagency
Pensene
Pieruccini
Pieraccina
Piraccini
Pieracini
Beraeline

I am sure there are others. This  is just to help people when trying to work out the Pieraccini records.

Goodluck!

As there seems to be a Liverpool connection might I suggest you have a look at
http://www.scottiepress.org.uk/ and then click search and then type in Little Italy....there are many many people researching the Italian families that settled in Liverpool on this site...They have a Guestbook and people leave their queries on this thread....good luck....allan ;)
