Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: De Luca family of Halifax
« on: Saturday 04 January 14 20:19 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Not sure if this is still of any help but Luigi De Luca was my great grandfather and his son, Francesco was my grandfather. His second wife (my grandmother) was Marie Melvin. Francesco moved to Workington, Cumbria and i think worked in the steel industry there before becoming a pub landlord. I believe his first pub was The Dolphin, a dockside pub now long gone and his last was The Miner's Arms which still exists on Guard Street. He had two daughters from his second marriage, Maureen and Francesca (my mother) who sadly died in 1980. Francesco (Frank to his mates) and Marie moved back to Halifax in the early 70s. Frank died in 1972. There's more indepth information listed on the Hindle family tree at familytreemaker.genealogy.com (a search for Luigi De Luca comes up pretty near the top of a google search).
Hope this helps fill some gaps !
