Albert Alberici aka Albert Clark.

Albert Alberici.

Albert Alberici was my Grandfather but for most of the time that I knew him, he was known as Albert Clark. He had Italian ancestry & decided to anglicise his name by changing it by deed poll in 1922 from Alberici to Clark.

Albert Alberici was born on 28 February 1901, at the family home at 29 Vittoria Street, Barnsbury, London, England. His mother, Florence Featherstone registered his birth in March 1901. His father Anthony Alberici, according to Alberts's birth certificate, was an Organ builder.

Albert was baptised on 15 March 1901 at St Silas Church in Pentonville, London, England.
