Hi Ann, thank you so much, my GGF was Pasquale Mascia who was a Piano Tuner, I think the family came from Naples area, but cannot be 100%. When my GF came to this Country they had to drop the De from the name so may have been De Mascia. I never knew my GF so no more information, unfortunately we never asked the questions when we should have. Take Care

Sorry Ann I do not think it is any of those my GF was a Thomas Mascia he was a master hairdresser and lived in Deptford London he married Elizabeth Dray on the 1.09.1909, I think my GF was born in 1880. My GGF was Pasquale Mascia I do not think he ever came to this Country although I could be proved wrong, please do not spend too much of your time on it, a holiday in Naples might be needed, but the language would be difficult.
