I received the following photographs from Trish Young who is Angelo's Great Granddaughter, her grandfather being Peter and her Dad Angelo.

This is of Great Granddad Angelo and Erminia with their first 3 sons and there were many to come. Young toddler on the left is my Granddad Peter

(Pietro) who used to own a green grocers shop in Thornley for a short while in the 20's/30's. The young toddler in the middle is my great uncle Danny, who used to own a confectioners/cafe in Shotton. And the baby is my great uncle Sabadino who used to own a shop in Thornley...I think on the bottom corner of Thornlaw North

 

 

 

The family photo is of my Great Grandad Angelo (2nd from right, front row) and his family on his wedding day circa 1902. His wife next to him was called Erminia.Angelo. Angelo was an orphan so the individuals on the photo could be relatives of the bride.

This photo was taken not long after they had arrived in the North East from Sora in southern Italy. The intention was to go to America...but somehow the bulk of the family settled in the north of England with only a smattering carrying on to America.
