John,

This is a very old thread you have added to (11 years old), so I doubt people are still checking for replies.

Erika,
My great grandfather Nicholas (Nichola) Podesta was born in Albaro,Genoa, Italy in 1850 and cames to England in the early 1860 age 12. I haven't been able to find any passenger list to find out who he came with but he would not have come without his parents is my guess, his father Giuseppe and mother would have come with him. He lived in Glamorgan and moved around Southampton till he and his wife Mary Gill had six kids living at 6 Simnel street in Dorset. when all the kids had to be put in a home in 1891 Nicholas moved on and on his second marriage in 1898 he stated his father was name Joe Podesta, a Mason by trade. The name we know means Joseph or Giuseppe. I have all the army call up from just Genoa in that part of Italy with all those named Podesta so if you want me to checked for you please contact me on.

Hi,

Have found a marriage for John Podesta in 1844, Jan/Feb/Mar Quarter. There is only 1 Sarah on the same page.

Sarah Fitzpatrick.

It was registered at District: Liverpool (1837-1934)
County: Lancashire

Could be her? I think you need to look into it first though!!
