Interesting reading about smith/giacomelli surname, my grandad was born James giacomelli in 1879 Brighton, the family then seemed to change the name to smith, on his marriage certificate it is James giacomelli-smith, have never managed to get to the bottom of the name change

Welcome to the boards, Jackie

Hope derbs returns to the boards to discuss any connections.

Did your grandfather never discuss the name change?

Thanks, the family story is that my grandfathers dad died and his mother remarried so he ran away to the army and changed his name to smith but when I have researched it would appear that the family were giacomelli then in 1881 they are smith then 1891 back to giacomelli! Very confusing and on his marriage certificate it is giacomelli-smith but his dad is written as William smith, not sure I will ever get to the bottom of it but will keep trying!
