This is a request for a translation of Hebrew / Aramaic (not sure which) from the parish register of St Mary Newington marriages, 1707 There's also some Greek and Latin so if there are any Classic Greek scholars amongst us, that would also be helpful! http://www.british-jewry.org.uk/New%20Member%20Area/Digital%20View/digitalview.htm Best, Sherry

There are 5 new images which need translating (from written Hebrew) please. There is a burial record from which Maureen would like to find the place of burial. There are also 2 ketubah which I THINK I have pasted correctly (2 handwritten sheets and 2 completed profromas). Please see: http://www.british-jewry.org.uk/New%20Member%20Area/Digital%20View/digitalview.htm Best wishes, Sherry

I don't know if this is any help but I searched FreeBMD and found the marriages below. If you then look in 1901 for the grooms, you can usually pair the brides up. If you check the brides you might find someone of the right age and POB who might be Jetty/Yetta. HTH Sherry (Salford, LAN) Hello Sherry - Thanks for the info and apologies for the late reply.

My Saul SOLOMONS was born about 1818 in London and went to Tasmania. He married Julia Lazarus after her first husband Thomas Meyers died. They married 30 January 1853 in Hobart Town, and divorced some years later. Julia then went off with a James Shaw/Sharland a convict. Hope we may have a connection with the Solomons family John Meyers

Peter, I was asking about the SOLOMON(S) family because there is a marriage for a Solomon SOLOMONS (s/o Elias & Kitty) in 1902 (address is Rectory Sq which is what made me wonder if it was yours) Sherry > Hannah(Annie)Solomons to Reuben > Ash Mother and father are Esther and > Israel Ash shown born in Kutner, Poland children > Rachael 15, Golda 12,Reuben 8 and Hyman 2. All > children born in London.

Further to my posting re the marriage of my grandfathers sister Hannah(Annie)Solomons to Reuben Ash I have come up with what I think is Reubens family on the 1901 census. Mother and father are Esther and Israel Ash shown born in Kutner, Poland children Rachael 15, Golda 12,Reuben 8 and Hyman 2. All children born in London. Does anybody have connections to or knowledge of these people? Peter Solomon

Dear BJ Genners, Ann Jensen wrote: I wonder if the fact that he went through Ellis Island indicates he had immigrated or taken out citizenship and where do I look for the records? This would seem to indicate some misunderstanding about Ellis Island. The fact is that Ellis Island seems to have a sense of mystique surrounding it, whereas it was simply the name of the Port of New York and the official place of arrival for all inbound passengers who weren't traveling first or second class. Everyone else had to "check in" here first, even if they were returning U.S. citizens. People departing from the Port of New York did so by leaving on a ship from one of the piers on (usually) the west side of lower Manhattan. If you wish to search for citizenship records, then it depends on when and where he was living. As Carol Freeman asks, have you looked at the various U.S. censuses? These usually ask whether one has naturalized or not, and some censuses even ask for the year of naturalization. The LDS has microfilmed the indices to naturalization and in some instances has also microfilmed the records. The records consist of a two-step process, this by the way being the post-1906 federal government process. A person intending to naturalize would first fill out a Declaration of Intention. This could be done as soon as the person sets foot on U.S. soil. However he has to live here continuously for five years before he can then fill out a Petition for Naturalization. Once this has been checked and approved (and presumably he has been checked out) he will then swear and oath of allegiance (as I did in 2001). Your Manny Warner may well have been "going home" but this should not be construed as being indicative of his naturalization status. As others on this list have suggested, it seems like you still have some homework to do.

Emanuel Warner was reported by The Era travelling to New York for four successive years in the 1890's. In 1902 I find him in the Ellis Island records and in 1906 he is again arriving at Ellis Island saying he is "going home". The American papers report that "Manny" Warner (who was a theatrical agent and tied up with Cissy Loftus and Metro Opera) was not in the USA much after 1906. I wonder if the fact that he went through Ellis Island indicates he had immigrated or taken out citizenship and where do I look for the records? I cannot find a marriage or death for him in the UK although his passenger listing says he was married. Ann Jensen

Have you looked in the US census returns for 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930? I can check them if you don't have access to them. Do you have a date of birth for him?

Could you please provide the name of Saul & Annie's father. There is an entry in the JC which looks possible but I need the father's name to confirm.

If you google Emanuel Warner, there are various hits. This is a book about show business that might give you some insight into him. This link is to a page where his name is mentioned. You can read the book online.

I have been trying without luck to trace the history of my grandfather Saul Solomons siblings after 1901. I have just had a breakthrough via my cousin who has an invitation to my grandparents to the wedding of his youngest sister Hannah (Annie)to Rueben(sic)Ash on 22021914 at Rectory Square Synagogue, Stepney Green. A quick search on BMD shows she had two daughters, Esther D. Ash b1916 and Clara Ash b1920. I will be doing more research on the Ash family asap but just wanted to post this in case anybody has any info on this family and their history.

Edward Benjamin Harris was born in London abt. 1818 and died in Quebec in 1892. His wife, Hanah Helman was born in Germany or West Prussia in 1827 and died in Quebec in 1896. Their children included Matilda Harris who married Charles A.

I am particularily interested in whether Edward & Hannah married in Europe or Canada, and if anyone connects through their children. Cathy Harris Kruckenberg indplbry@triwest.net

Hi to everyone over there, Does anyone who is researching the WOOLFfamily( WOLFF in 1871 census) have any of these names in their tree: HYMAN WOOLF wife BETSEY (nee Borwitz?) in the 1870's or before? Came from Belarus to London with children: JACOB, FRIEDA, HILLEL, RACHEL. CHANA born about 1871 in Whitechapel, 'INKHORN COURT', TOBIAS born 1873, address 2 ROSE ALLEY, in the Bishopsgate area.? Then went to Dunedin New Zealand, presumably with whole family SON NAFTALI BORN IN DUNEDIN APROX 1875 ' DIED IN MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA AROUND 1876 HYMAN was a GLAZIER by trade , BORN ABOUT 1830, parents YUDEL AND FANNY, movements of parents unknown HYMAN DIED AROUND 1880 IN MELBOURNE BETSEY DIED IN ABOUT 1890 IN MELBOURNE If jewish people who migrated around the 1870's came via the Whitechapel route, were they registered as Aliens or any similar designation?? I believe that your National Archives will be releasing digitised copies of Denizations and Alien registrations later this year. I will be in London later this year. In addition to trying this source, are there any records kept from this time that would indicate the original family name that was obviously altered upon their arrival in London by whichever authorities? Were name changes made in an ad hoc manner or formally recorded for all those entering the country at this time?? Does the address Inkhorn court have any significance re new arrivals at this time. It no longer exists. Did your Jewish Board of Guardians keep any records at this time?? Any assistance would be welcomed. thanks again Esther Kahn Melbourne Australia _________________________________________________________________ Are you paid what you're worth?

Hi Naomi, I am sorry to say, that having found my maps, I am no further forward as I don't have a map that covers that area :-( I will ask on the MLFHS list for you.

Thank you for this posting, Jill. After several false starts, finally managed to download the Harfield's directory. Think it is going to prove very useful. Angela

Hello Sherry In all your rush and bustle and moving you still had the time to look up my relatively unimportant enquiry - that is dedication and very impressive. Thank you. I just wanted to try and find out what the Strangeways heading actually meant. I have no interest in Strangeways prison (and only just realised after your mentioning it that this was the location of the prison). I am still interested in finding out if the streets mentioned are close together. Many thanks.
