Hi!
My GG grandfather is Pietro Carswell too. I am off the Frances side, who had a son called Francis which is my grandad.

Susan

Have checked the UK immigration records and can not find anybody called Pietro. However that is only from 1878 - 1960 so he may have arrived before this time.

Thank you that maybe him although the ages don't match but that's nothing new, he would be 42 in 1881. I don't know whatdates to use to search now??

Certificate says 1939. The dates and ages don't match with census. Looks like he left his partner and she moved to Dundee with her children and says she was widowed but never married him in the first place.

Peter Carswell - Pietro Casoli?

Hi everyone

Wondered if anyone can help me on where to look next. I think I have found my GG granfather Pietro from Italy, he died in Stirling Scotland aged 99 years old in 1939. His parents were Louisa Casoli and Joanna Casoli (nee Galeu/Galea). I know he was in ...

I have found the birth certificate of one of the children - John. It is listed under CASWILLI. He was born 16th October 1887 at 6 Little St Glasgow.

Marisa

Thanks again for help, can I ask you where you found his birth certificate I can't find it anywhere??

Susan

Thanks everyone especially Marisa!

Haven't had much time to do anymore but when I am back in Scotland in July I will be will have access to more.

I found out Elizabeth was living in Dundee, fofarshire in the 1991 census and did not remarry (or marry) till 1908 so was on her own with about 6 kids ...

Thanks for the reply. I have looked everywhere can't find anything. All I found was a census in 1881 states 'Peter Carswell born Italy - ice cream maker and that's it and as he never married (or didn't register it) didn't register his kids. I have nothing

My g grandfather Peter Carswell, I persumed he had altered his name?? is from Italy probably South Italy and arrived in Glasgow Scotland in approx 1870's. He had lots of children to Elizabeth, she took his name but no marriage recorded. He is in the 1881 census and then disappears. Is there anywhere ...

Thanks everyone!!

What is 'Dolceria'?

I am a bit confused so you think Carswell may have been Carosella?

I am new to this searching in Italy, what is on the microfilm? I am not in Italy I am currently in Australia but back in UK next month. I take it you don't have them online?

Realistically do ...

Noone speaks any Italian, didn't even know he was born in Italy till I found the Census.

According to the census he would have been born in approx 1858 but must have been in Scotland by 1886 as he had children then

Susan

Thanks Nuccia

All I have on the 1881 census is born Italy and he was 33 then and an ice cream maker! I wish I knew which part.

Susan

Hi!

Can anyone help me answer a question?? The only details I have about my gg grandfather is that his name was Peter Carswell and was born in Itlay before moving to Scotland in 1880s. Does anyone know what his name may have been in Italian??

Thank you

Susan

Hi!
Does anyone know what Carswell may have changed to, if he did change it?
Susan

Thanks everyone!

The only information I have is from a Scottish (Glasgow) census in 1891 where it says Peter Carswell aged 33 born Italy. He married Elizabeth McNamara (no marriage cert) and had some children (no record in Scotland of births) and it shows Elizabeth was a widow in 1901 census but I ...
