Thread: italian ancestor

helo i hope someone can help me with this.
i am searching for the family eg parents and any brothers or sisters of matthew castellian
he was born in naples italy in 1841/2 and came to liverpool circa 1860,( as he does not appear on the census until 1871) he married here in liverpool at holy cross rc church in standish street liverpool in november 1863 to a mary mcannally, they had several children, ann,ellen,james,matthew,may, christina, and isabella. according to the census he lived in campbell street liverpool.
i would love to find any information on his life in italy before he came to live in liverpool.
on his marriage certificate his surname is written as costello, and lists his fathers given name as pasearle.
but on his death certificate his surname is written as castellian. his two eldest children ann and ellen have the surname costello when their births were registerd, but, on their marriage certificates their surname is written castellian the rest of the children were all registerd at birth as castellian so it looks like the original name (which is spelt many ways over the census years) was castellian and it has been changed to costello when matthew came to liverpool then changed it back to castellian
thanks
