Joe Dinicol is a Canadian actor.
Joe’s father is actor Keith Dinicol, who has run for Parliament, with the NDP.
His father is of half Italian and half English/Scottish descent. His mother is from England.
Joe’s paternal grandfather was Thomas Dinicol (the son of Sevario/Savario/Samuel Dinicol and Mary/Maria/Marie Cillis/Chillis). Thomas was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Italian parents.
Joe’s paternal grandmother was Constance Ethel Williamson (the daughter of Richard Williamson and Ethel Mary Weldon). Constance was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Richard was born in Longton, England, the son of Richard Williamson and Emily Horwell. Ethel was born in Scotland, the daughter of John Weldon and Louisa Ellen Fox.
Joe’s maternal grandfather was English actor John Neville (born John Reginald Neville; the son of Reginald Daniel Neville and Mabel Lillian Fry). John was born in Willesden, London, England, and was prominent as a theatre actor beginning in the 1950s. He moved to Canada in the 1970s with his family.
Joe’s maternal grandmother is named Caroline Hopper.

According to ellis island records and ancestry records Joe Dinicol’s great-grandmother Mary Cillis arrived in New York April 27, 1904 from port of departure being Naples, Italy. Joe’s great-grandfather Sevario Samuel Dinicol arrived in Boston, Massachusetts May 18, 1902 with departure place also being Naples, Italy. His ship was called the Cambroman. I think at least the great-grandmother has roots living in Campania, Naples, Italy.
Oh sorry dismiss that comment wrong person
If he sailed from Naples he does not mean he had family from Naples too (but likely not distant from there). For example you find Piedmontese or other North Italian immigrants who sailed from Genoa, but they were not Ligurian.

Thanks!

Yes they are definitely Italian people from the South. It has to be Di Nicola or De Nicola. Cillis exists also as De Cillis.
I know about that site, but how do know for sure those are his grandparents?
If you look at Constance’s page, it says at the bottom that her death record was registered by Keith Dinicol, son.
Keith says he’s from Kamloops, BC, same place where DiNicols are burried.

Yes, I know he’s from Kamloops, where he graduated high school in 1968. I thought these might be Dinicol’s grandparents, but I didn’t see the bottom of the page, that mentioned Keith’s name as the son. Thank you.
No problem.
What say you about Demi Moore’s paternal grandparents? All the online trees say her grandparents were Clarence Lamar Harmon and Minnie Ruth Compton.
I don’t know. I haven’t been able to link them to Charles Harmon yet. It’s possible.
By the way, do you think Paul Walter Hauser’s great-great-grandfather The Rev. Karol Hauser really was born Jewish, as news stories and biographical tidbits indicate? I haven’t been able to find proof of this.
