Geo Venna Acciaolo

[Fuscoguy]

Hi

I am looking to get some further information on my Great Great Grandmother, Geo Venna Acciaolo. I just recently ordered her second marriage certificate from York, England, where she married Gabbriiele Verdone. The marriage certificate lists Girolomo Acciaolo as her father, she is listed as Geo Venna Fusco, as she was first married to Francis Fusco (Great Great Grandfather) , who had passed away, after they had my Great
Grandfather Peter/Pietro Fusco, who was also born in Pozzilli, Italy.

My Great Great Grandmother/Father and her new husband were all travelling musicians.

Any information or pointed in the right direction would be great. Hearing from someone would the same lineage would be Amazing.

Thanks

Michael

I believe that the correct spelling of her name is Giovanna Acciaioli
The surname Acciaioli is found in Isernia Province.
Today it can be found in the comunes of Conca Casale and Venafro.

Hi, did you have any luck with your search for Giovanna Acciaioli?

My great-great-grand mother was Maria Acciaioli born around 1847 possibly in Pozzilli. She married Augustine(Agostino) Guatieri also from Pozzilli.

I haven't been able to find her birth or marriage records.

[Tessa78]

I have not yet found the birth act of Maria Acciaoli...

However, here is the birth of a son, Domenico Guatieri, born in 1871 in Pozzillii (village of Concacasale.)
#41
Father: Agostino Guatieri, age 50, son of deceased Antonio
Mother: Maria Acciaoli, his wife, daughter of deceased Domenico.
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 40/wO4Gmpz

I had searched births from 1844 through 1848 and did not find Maria.
This birth act gives more clues, as it appears Agostino was born in 1821.

Here is another son born to the couple in 1868.... Michele Guatieri.
#40
In this record, Agostino is age 22, laborer son of deceased Antonio
Mother is still Maria Acciaoli, his wife., daughter of [living] Domenico.
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 37/5KMG3JM

Agostino's age suggests a birth year about 1846.

EDIT TO ADD:

Here is the birth act for Agostino Guatieri in 1846 in Concacasale
#13
Father: Antonio Guatieri, 39, peasant farmer
Mother: Maria Bucci, his wife, 38
Child given the name Agostino Antonio
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 06/LNjq4X7

AND...
I believe this is the birth act of your Maria Acciaoli in 1850 in Concacasale
#5
Father: Domenico Acciaoli, 28, peasant farmer
Mother: Maddalena Porcelli, his wife, 30
Child was given the name Mariamalia Acciaoli.
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 10/wjP3YQJ

I suspect they were married about 1866 or 1867 (since son Michele was born in 1868). Unfortunately, those years are not available online.
