Baciochi/Bacchiochi Family?

May I tell you a little story about this surname please , working for a company for many years as I did I regularly spoke to a woman with the surname Bacciochi at a comapny that supplied us . I alway's pronounced it as I thought it should sound ie Bashoki , a woman of some senior years than me in the office I worked in told me I was saying it wrong that it was pronounced Bakoshi . Okay I said but when I spoke to the lady in question at the suppliers I still said it as I always had . A week or three later the woman in our office came over and said I am sorry I asked my son in law with the same surname and he said it is pronounced as it sounds Bashoki . Originally I had put 2 and 2 together by studying the name Veracchia remember the ice cream men . I must say though I've heard more ch in the Italian language than ck sounding words .
 
Hi, I have been working on my family ancestry and discovered my great grandmother was Italian. Her name was Frances Tognolini (1899), and her parents were Clemente Tognolini (1867) and Mary L Bacciochi (1878). Mary was born in Birmingham, her father was Dominici Bacciochi (1851).
If anyone knows of any relations or can make any connections I would love to hear about it! I never knew I had italian blood and my dream is to be able to now learn more about this branch of the family and maybe even find pictures.

Thanks everyone!
Mia

I have same conundrum with an Italian name. Rumour passed down a normally silent family was someone marrying an Italian. I think after exhausting searches found someone who could be the people involved. In 1950's a Josephine Fox married Michele S. Callecia in Newcastle Under Lyme. No further mentions anywhere and think they went off to Italy......the other rumour was ice cream linked to the family.
 
I also had this experience but with french! Whilst I only newly discovered the italian link on my fathers side, I was always told from a young age my mothers side were from France and had a chip shop there. Although none of my research confirmed this. Whilst the name sounds french, going back multiple generations all i see is everyone born in east London! So my trail ran cold so far on that front.
Whilst the italian link i did confirm by ordering ancestors birth certificates to verify it. So now I just want a better idea of who they were and why they moved to Birmingham and then down to London. I am curious to find the story behind them!
