Dublin / Re: Ceppi family in Dublin

Yes - my GGF John (Giovanni) of Winetavern Street (and several other addresses around that area). The only Ceppis I came across were Francis and Seraphin (although I did come across a Eugine as a godparent somewhere but assumed it was a mistake!) I did also discover that Francis attended the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art on Thomas Street in 1873 when he was about 22 years old and was described as a sculptor - actually he listed as T. Ceppi which I assumed was an error and should have been F. Ceppi? I think that this info may no longer be available on the internet? My Great Uncle went to the same school of art years later and painted the statues made by his father! Did you ever get anywhere with the Arigho and Ceppi families travelling together to Dublin? Did they come through London or even England?
