There are numerous persons in Italy surnamed Becchetti but currently none spelled Bechetti so going by the numbers Becchetti is the source surname. The 1881 british census is negative for Peter or Pietro or Piero or even Pierre My name is Peter!!

Hi there I am a Betchetti from New Zealand, my father was originally from England, and my understanding of the surname is that it was originally Becchetti or Bechetti.

the Peter's profession let me understand that most probable coming from Tuscany region( the large part of italian figure makers in UK coming from Barga di Lucca and Coreglia Anteminelli /TUSCANY); the just spelling of surname, most probable could be BECCHETTI or BACCHETTI; in Italy south is more diffused BOCCHETTI.. hoping helpful, regards, suanj

Thank you very much for that information it is very interesting. My family home in Yorkshire was 13 Elmwood Street, we used to get mail from this address when I was a kid, so we are definately on the right family here. My grandfather was Edward Francis, born May 1903, and from what I can gather (information is a bit scarce) his father was Wilfred James. So this ties in with all this information. I am presuming there is another link from Francis 1850 and Harriet 1853 to Peter 1805, that I have not linked yet. This information is extremely helpful, and I thank you very much for providing it to me.

Hello again :-)

After doing more research and talking to another researcher of Betchetti's in England it appears that Peter (b1805) was from Lucca.

Do you have any advice on how i can find out more information before he came to England?
