yes Pietro Paulucci of York (where he first arrived in England during his late teens) married Lydia Rowbothom of Newark in 1783 (she was born in Leicester, her father was a William also). John 1799 was their last child (that I can find anyway). There is talk that Pietro (Peter) was involved in building works to the York minster (how true this is I do not know). He was also listed as a merchant in York, this is probably how he found himself in the country. Peter died age about 95 years in Sutton Bonnington and married his third wife aged about 80.
As regards the Paulucci surname Ive had Palucie as well but also Palivil which is nowhere near. This last one was particularly difficult... my great uncle believed that there had been Italians in the family but we did not know where or what their name was so it has taken me two years to make the Paulucci connection. Not only does their name change but so does the location (many of the Pauluccis did not know where they were born). One useful link is that much of the extended Paulucci family were brickmakers.
Anyway I should be able to invite you to join my tree on ancestry.co.uk as a guest if it would be possible to have your email mine is, somethingreallyrandom_2@hotmail.com and yes any images would be welcome as most of my research is internet based or from record offices.

P.s My great Grandma Emma Hayes nee Hughes was named after her mothers sister Emma Jane Paulucci your ancestor.
This should be more clear from viewing the tree itself... I tend to confuse people otherwise.

Hello,

My GGgreat Granddad was William (1828). His daughter Sarah (c1859, West Brom. my ggreat grandma) would be claypits' sister.
 
Sarah married John Hughes in Sheffield before moving to Killamarsh (where he grew up)... the majority of the Paulucci family seem to have moved there too. Later Sarah moved to Scarcliffe, derbyshire as did some of her brothers and sisters. I have been told by my g aunt that 'oo she was a nasty woman' always agitating.

As regards William i notice in the 1881 census the family is listed as the Johnsons.. a clue to his fathers identity John Paulucci (1899). until about a month ago I had presumed his Father was Peter (1792) but this clue gave it away. Paulucci would have been a bit of a moth full to victorian barnsley so perhaps that explains the name change.

Has anyone got any Paulucci photos?? I only have one as far back as Sarah (1859). They can be seen on my ancestry account if anyone is interested.

Ta, Tom.
p.s I recently acquired a marriage and death certificate for Peter Paulucci (c1762) it would seem his father was a farmer in Italy name of Benjamin (or the Italian equivalent)... Peters cause of death is listed as 'old age' unsurprising I suppose.
