Hi Keith

I wondered if you are still looking at the Carlesimo branch of your family? 

I am also from Liverpool, and have a few Carlesimo s in my ancestry tree - though, so far, not an Alfredo.  IIRC Carlesimo was not a common name, even in Italy, so the odds are that any Carlesimos in Liverpool are likely related.  My lot were originally from Casalvieri, Lazio

Someone called Emilio Carlesimo b1889 married my great great aunt in Liverpool in 1911 and had a daughter, Ellen.  He also had a brother Mario Carlesimo, who moved to Blackburn.  For reasons not clear, Emilio then fell of the face off the earth, and I think that he was presumed dead. 

Around 2009, I looked into it and found that Emilio had remarried in Philiadelphia, and had a whole new family (later including the mayor of Cincinnati, I think). He died in 1981

I got in touch with some of his US relatives, who were very surprised (to say the least), and were totally unaware of a Liverpool branch of the family!

Don’t know if this rings any bells, but happy to share my ancestry tree and certificate etc if you think that there may be a link

Best regards
Neil
