1901 census lists Fanny and Julius LIVINGSTONE living with his mother, Celia, age 51 and his sisters, Etty, and Rachel. They are living at 33 Byron Street in Leeds and were all born in Russia. In the 1891 census for Leeds, Julius LEVINSON is listed as the son of Nathan and Lilly, living at 80 St George St. Julius has younger sisters Etta and Rachel. There is no older son named Joseph in the family. (The ages vary widely between the two censuses.) In 1891. Nathan Levinson is a tailor's machinist, as is Julius. In 1910 Julius and **Frances Levinson are living in Chicago and they have a son Nathan, and a daughter May, both born in England. The family came to the US in 1906. And indeed, I could find the entry for Fanny, Mary and Nathan LEVENSON at Boston in 1906. Joe Livingston was born in Leeds in 1892. The 1901 census shows him as the son of Barnet and Janey. So I would assume that Joe and Julius were **not brothers. In the 1901 census, Morris and Etta Etalman are living in Liverpool with their daughter Rosie, born in the US. There is an entry for a Mrs. EDELMAN with two children, entering the UK in June 1901. (I am not sure during which month the 1901 census was taken in Liverpool. ) Barbara Zimmer Virginia Yorkshire BMD: Fanny SAPERIA and Julius LIVINGSTONE married in Leeds in 1901. If Fanny 16-22, she was b. between 1879-1885. There was a Fanny Shapiro, 22, living with Morris and Etta Etalman in Liverpool. Fanny was the sister-in-law of Morris, probably Etta's sister. Etta was 26, b. 1875. They must have married in about 1895. Their daughter, Rosie, was b. in about 1896 in the US. There was a Rosie Edelman b. in New York in 1896. JewishGen lists: Bertha SAPERIA, 22, Dressmaker, of 4 Wintoun St., Leeds, dau. of Solomon, a Gen. Dealer, married Joe LIVINGSTONE, 24, Tailor's Machinist, of 13 Crawford St., son of Barnet, a Gen. Dealer. Julius and Fanny came to Chicago and used their original surname, LEVINSON. They were friends of my grandparents, Harry and Anna WOLFE. I'm wondering if Bertha was Fanny's sister and they married brothers. <snip> I found Fanny SAPERIA's parents: Meyer, the Shoemaker, b. 1848, and Annie W. 37 Cannon St., Leeds. Meyer d. 1894.

Look at www.thejc.com and use the search archives feature which is free. Then when/if you have precise issues have a look at our webpage. Jeff Maynard's website has quite a few extractions, Miriam Pollack's fabulous CD "The JC Project" covers the first decade of 1900 and lots of us have other random pages. The JC is on film at many libraries (which is why it would have been helpful to know where you are. I hope to get Cynthia's list up to view within the next few days.

I have a photograph of a relative with the following information printed on the back: Photographed by Salomon Potrait Painter and Sculptor Victoria Studio 39 Lauriston Road South Hackney Late of South Kensington It's a formal studio protrait mounted on cardboard, and from the photo itself I would guess it's 1880's or thereabouts, but that's a guess. I would much appreciate it if anyone has access to a resource that would indicate when that studio was in business, so I can date the photo more accurately. Many thanks in advance. ------------------------- Randall Davis Weston, MA, USA, as the leaves are starting to change

Hi Cynthia, Have a look at http://www.british-jewry.org.uk/jcanouncments.php and see if your format (i.e. what you have transcribed) matches. If you have the same data and it's in an Excel (or compatible) email it to me personally ([email protected]) and I will see if I can add it to the above page-I'm not very good with tables in HTML but I can try!

Hi I recently undertook some research at the Christchurch branch of New Zealand Archives for a UK resident. One of the documents I viewed was a copy of the Jewish Chronicle for Friday 28 June 1895, which was used in court to prove the death of an individual. Although the newspaper was fragile I photographed the entire front page: births, deaths, marriages, engagements, thanks, in memorium and notices of tombstone placements. I have transcribed the names in case they are relevant to other researchers. Im not sure if I can upload this to the site, but will try. I am happy to email a photo of the section that relates to their family if anyone would like it. Cheers Cynthia Springtime in New Zealand

Hi Gaby That's a good thought. I'm not sure as it's so feint. I believe Judi has asked for a better copy from the US. <'stranger' rather than foreigner Gaby Laws, London> Naomi Ogin Brisbane

I've never seen 'Foreigner' for native of on a Hebrew MA, has anyone else.and thanks Monica and Angie. The English and Hebrew is not easy to read and I asked someone else to look as well. Gila also saw that it says Akiva for Jane/Fanny's father. The info on line says Reva, and I had an aunty with that name which made me wonder if it was correct. I still feel the native of section shows place names for both. <someone said the native of says Foreigner?? Judi Conway, USA> Naomi Ogin Brisbane

OK, I admit it, I have my pedant hat on....but please could people remember that the word ADMIN: in the subject line is supposed to alert members to an IMPORTANT message posted by your Admin team which requires everyone's attention. When you reply to such a message you are asked to remove the pre-pend ADMIN: from your message so that there is no confusion. Thanks for your understanding. Sherry and Jackye

Hi Naomi, Could the word be 'stranger' rather than foreigner, refering to the individual not being a member of the Synagogue. Similar to entries on a burial record?

Jacob's Hebrew name is Yakov Arieh son of Azriel Zelig. Jane/Fanny's Hebrew name is Feiga Rosa daughter of Akiva. The address was 35 Van Dyke Street, Leeds, and Jane came from her father's home. Jacob had at least one unmarried brother, Dov Ber, and possibly another called Yehudah Leib or it could be saying wasn't present or was present etc. <help with the Hebrew on a marriage authorisation for her ancestor.

It is actually 1885, Dec. 4th not 1886 Thank you so much for your help in reading this. Someone said the native of says Foreigner?? I'm trying despirately to find where they came from, I heard Russia. And to find his two brothers names so I can search for them. Thank you again Judi Conway

Bob Moss mentions that he has the death certificates. I wonder if the Registrar's Office or the synagogue office (or cemetery office) might have further details. This is something we often suggest to genners here in America. I can't speak for the UK but I do know that a number of cemetery offices have more information about the family, such as who paid for the grave and matzevah, etc. Good luck, -- Jeremy G Frankel ex Edgware, London, England Berkeley, California, USA EBIN: Russia, New York, USA FRANKEL: Poland, London, England GOLDRATH/GOLD: Praszka, Poland, London, England KOENIGSBERG: Vilkaviskis, Lithuania, London, England, NYC, NY, USA LEVY (later LEADER): Kalisz, Poland, London, England PRINCZ/PRINCE: Krakow, Poland, London, England, NYC, NY, USA

I think I can help with some of the Hebrew: The wedding took place on Friday 26th Kislev 5646 which corresponds to December 4th 1886 (there is a discrepancy of one day as Dec 4 in 1886 was a Saturday) The bridegroom's name is Yaakov Aryeh son of Azriel (sorry can't read the word after that) Brother's name: Dov Ber (can't read next word) Bride's name: Feigeh next word looks like Rorzen, daughter of Akiva Hope this was of some help Gillian Lanzkron Petach Tikva, Israel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jewish Admin Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 9:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BRITISH-JEWRY] ADMIN: Digital View Judi has asked for help with the Hebrew on a marriage authorisation for her ancestor. http://www.british-jewry.org.uk/LEWISauthorisation.pdf if you can help.
