The Picozzi family

I have recently become very interested in tracking down my Italian
ancestry, but I am needing a little help.

My ancestor's name is Carlo Picozzi and according to ancestry.com he
was an Italian immigrant who was born in approximately 1845 and married
a woman named Emma Jarvoise in 1875 in England. They had several
children, one being Kate (my great-great grandma).

I am trying to find out when he originally arrived in England and from
which part of Italy he came from. I've searched various sources on the
internet and I can't seem to find any other records for him. There is a
Camillo Picozzi listed in one Italian source who was born around 1853
in Capistrello, Abruzzo. I thought maybe this was his original name and
he changed it to Carlo to sound more English, but it may be someone
completely different.

If anyone has any information about the Picozzi family and their roots,
I would be extremely grateful. Also, if anyone can point me in the
right direction, that too would be a great help.

Thank you very much for your help.

Not a lot of help, but:

This site will show you the current locations in Italy where the Picozzi
towns.

Capistrello, Abruzzo region.

I am not familiar with what is available on ship lists concerning
immigration into England from Europe, that is available either on the Net or
in England archives. A more knowledgeable poster on the news group site may
be able to help you find where your ancestor came from in Italy. Good luck.
