Pelosi Family to Paignton, England

I'm trying to trace my paternal family from Caserta (Picinisco), Italy to Paignton, England. My great great grandmother was Rosalba (Rosa) Pelosi who traveled with her four children, eventually settling in Paignton, England some time in the late 1800s. Her children were Hycintha (Georgina) Pelosi, Gennaro (George) Pelosi, Antonia Pelosi and Pietro (Peter) Pelosi, all were born in Caserta, Italy. According to one source, Rosalba's husband was named Franceso Pelosi. I can find no record of Rosalba's maiden name or confirmation of her husband's first name.

In 1895, Georgina marries Jusieff (Joseph) Quattrocicchi in Newton Abbott, England. Together they had at least 10 children and immigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, but not before changing their surname to Fourchalk.

George Pelosi immigrates to Vancouver, Canada too, marries and English woman, Delphine Ham, and then returns to Paignton, England to open a cafe in town called "Pelosi's."

Antonia marries Vincenzo Di Meo and has 7 children. Peter Pelosi eventually has an ice cream cart in the summer and chip vendor in the winter and lives in Paignton, England....running a very popular ice cream shop also called "Pelosi's."

Any information that you can give me on Rosalba Pelosi...such as her maiden name, birthplace, etc, would be most helpful. I believe she was born in 1857 or so. Also....information on her husband, Francesco.
Many...many thanks for any help that you can give me.

Michel,

Do you have any information on the death of FRANCESCO PELOSI (n.29/03/1836-PICINISCO (IT))? Did he die in Italy or had he immigrated to some place else? His widow, Rosalba, eventually ends up in Paignton, England, but I wasn't sure what happened to Francesco.

Many thanks,
Tori
