    Greek church records show a son Ioannis Matthaios Rodocanachi (2nd child) baptised 7 April 1853 at home in Liverpool - but how possible? Appears to have been based largely in Liverpool. (Christopher Long)

    P.Z. Rodocanachi & Co., established 1879, is on Contopoulos' list of principal Greek commercial houses in New York City.

    Mr. P. Z. Rodocanachi, Deansgate contributed £2 to the "Public Parks, &c. Subscriptions" (The Manchester Guardian, 10 May 1845, p 1).

    A death notice appeared in The Leeds Mercury, 28 Nov 1891 for P.G. Rodocanachi but it appears to be for this man. It reads: "Mr. P.G.
