Hi everyone… I'm researching the HARRIS or ARIES family. Abraham HARRIS was born in Cardiff about 1875. He was the son of Simon HARRIS and Maria nee BLOOM. Abraham was 'possibly' aka Albert J. HARRIS. He married Nellie/Eleanor FREEMAN in Belfast 1903. In 1911 they were living in Dublin. Their children I have found so far are; Simolia, Dorothy HARRIS born Dublin 1905. Simolia was called Simona on the 1911 Dublin census. They also had another daughter Esther HARRIS born about 1909. There may be more children. I have found the death of Abraham HARRIS in Dublin in 1958. He died at the Jewish home for the aged in Dublin. His home address was 339, Harold Cross Road, Dublin. I've since learnt that his gravestone has his name inscribed as: Abraham ARIES died: 17th April 1958. Avrohom Ben Shimon. This is the first time I've found the name HARRIS as ARIES. I have important documents to pass onto any descendants. I correspond with Stuart Rosenblatt at the Dublin Jewish Museum. Thank you Monica McMullin UK. monicamcmullin@mac.com

Dear Overworked in Oxford, Sherry, just dipping my toe in the water. I am already a webmaster, for the Friends of Bristol City Museum and therefore I must have some of the skills you require. However, one needs to be a bit more specific. My website has been created using WordPress and they make updating rather easy to the extent that a knowledge of HTML is not necessary. An editor is provided and text can be manipulated in plain English. I have some small ability with HTML but it's hard to say whether or not it would be sufficient. I am 86 years old and have the necessary time, but you might be wise to seek a backup. If my offer seems tempting, please reply giving a little more detail on the precise nature of the British-Jewry website. I've had a quick look at your site and its very impressive. Did you write all the HTML code yourself? I cheated in that we paid a professional, who incidentally remains our host, to do the initial design and he then handed it over to me to do the maintenance bit. Brian Joseph, Bristol

In talking to relatives, there has been suggestion that my great grandfather was sometime shammas of a shul on Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester, which was known as the "hayloft". Hard to know exactly what time period, but I suspect this was some time between 1920 and 1950. He was born in Saldus, Latvia, so possibly this was a shul shared with landsleit ? Maybe it was just a literal hayloft where minyans were formed ? Any thoughts, suggestions, welcomed. Thanks Andy

There certainly was a shul of that name in the late 1800s. It has moved since a number of time and is now called the Holy Law in Prestwich.

Are any members considering visiting either Delhi Street or Old Hebrew Congregation cemeteries in Hull. I cannot visit them myself but would be very interested in photos of the headstones of my great grand parents. Thanks Sheila Brodie

Hmm, thanks again. No, she is not buried next to him-but in UK that was quite normal-you just went in the next free plot. I think the jury is out on this for the moment.

Thank you so much Gila. This really helps. He was Harris in English BUT on a suspected daughter's marriage he is given as Joshua.
