I would love to be able to put names to them if you can helt let me know. The Pelegrino brothers were Albert,Ernest.Fred & Joseph I believe there was also a Cousin called Vincent & possibly one called Domonico & also lots of grandsons. If you have any old photos of any of the old italians I would love to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boozy.bird Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Great site,nice to see a picture of the late Chic Rosso, such a nice man. I also knew Frank, Paul and Joanie, Anginotti from the Woodthorpe estate. I worked with the late Joe Pellogrina and his brothers Ernest, the other brothers name escapes me im afraid. Also Lol Saccomando who was also in the terrazo/tiling game, we all worked for Spina + Pascotts in the 70s early 80s. My dad used to hire a barrel organ for the weekend from the Cuneos i think back in the 30s. Keep up the good work. Still awaiting to hear if you can identify any of the terrazo workers in the photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floxie Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hello Sliver....I married into the Saccomando family in 1967 to Lawrence Saccomando's younger brother Paul. Lawrence did work for Spina & Pascott in late 1960. I would be pleased to pass on any contact number/address from you if you wanted to be in touch with Lawrence.

Floxie Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hi Boozy.bird....just trying to join this forum as I married Andrew John Saccomando's son Paul in 1967. The west-bar-italians.co.uk site is excellent but I was very surprised to see photographs of Andrew Saccomando taken during WW2. He was captured by the Germans in France and spent sometime in Stalag 8. Needless to say life was never to be the same again for my father-in-law after the war. He suffered with what is known today as post traumatic stress thereafter. Also photographs of Andrew's older brother Edward, younger brother Tony and sister Doris. Could I ask if you know where these photographs came from. All these family members have now passed away. Floxie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
