Dear Listers My GGG grandmother, Rachel Phillips, nee Jacobs, died in Paddington, London, in 1903 aged 97. She was the widow of Simon Phillips, furrier, of Cutler St, London, who died in 1845. At least 2 sons, Asher and Morris (my GG grandfather) migrated to Australia and established families there. I would be grateful if some kind person who subscribes to the Jewish Chronicle can provide me with a copy of Rachel Phillips’ obituary notice. (JC, Oct 3, 1903). Unfortunately the notice produced from the online index to the Jewish Chronicle is unclear. With thanks. Terry Newman Sydney, Australia

I have found in the 1911 census someone I think is a cousin of mine - Max Posner. He was boarding with the Vushnick family at 39 Buross Street, Commercial road, EC1. I realise that none of the family is likely still to be alive now (despite there being several very young children in the Vishnick family) but just wondered whether, perhaps, there are children or grandchildren who might have knowledge of Max. Perhaps the Posners and Vishnicks came from the same village/town/city. I am an optimist, as you can tell but, if you don't ask, you don't get! Myra Waddell (Adelaide, South Australia).

Hello all Just saw this post: >If I can't get a legible copy of the death notice, I will email either the State Library of Victoria or the National Library in Canberra and request a copy to be made from the JC on microfilm which they have. I am visiting the State library of Victoria next month, if anyone needs a look-up let me know before the beginning of Feb cheers Cynthia New Zealand Researching HART, NATHAN,

This I found in the London Gazette: Gazette Issue 34273 published on the 10 April 1936. Page 43 of 66 I, WOOLP HERSCHELL, of Xing George Hospital, Ilford, in the county of Essex, House Surgeon, a natural born British subject, hereto- fore called and known by the name of Woolf Hazel Gersholowitch or Woolf Gersholowitz. hereby give notice that I have renounced and abandoned the name of Woolf Hazel Gersholowitch and Woolf Gersholowitz and that I. have assumed and intend henceforth on all occasions whatsover and at all times to sign and use and to be called and known by the name of Woolf Herschell in lieu of and in substitution for my former name of Woolf Hazel Gersholpwitch or Woolf Gersholowitz; and I also hereby give notice that such change of name is formally declared and evidenced by a deed poll under my hand and seal dated the 31st day of March, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six, duly executed and attested, and that such deed poll was enrolled in the Central Office of the Supreme Court of Judicature on the sixth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six! .—Dated this 31st day of March, 1936.

Hi everyone, Hoping someone can help me with a bit of information. I have a Harris Woolf GERSHOLOWITZ in my tree, i know he was born in 1915, and it turns out he is buried in Edmonton Federation Cem, Montague Road, London. Plot H-3 Section A-R. What i need to find out is, when was the burial ??????? Thanks in advance Josev

I also found a Woolf Hessel Hershelowitz in the 1911 census born abt 1908. Since "G" and "H" can be interchangeable, this person could also be another possibility. His parents were Israel Wolf and Pauline. If he changed his name, it would seem that he would be buried under the "new" name. Maybe a call to the cemetery or the people overseeing it could clarify for you.

I found an article in the Jewish Chronicle from 2008 about Harris Woolf & Mary Gersholowitz who are buried at Edmonton. I think this is a different man. It says Mary was buried there 100 years ago. Also, there is a Harris Woolf Gersholowitz (1 year old child) in the 1911 census. His father was Lewis.

Just check the GRO index or the free BMD index. Both are available online. You can also check the Jewish Chronicle.

Hi Sue, If you tell us more about Reva like where she lives, age, etc., maybe we could help you find her.

Dear All My late sister-in-law (Sue Gordon nee Coleman) did extensive family tree research. It is all currently on paper and I am putting all into software so it can't be lost and can be shared with family members. In her file there is a short document on the Barnett-Levy family by Reva Hill dated 1996. I am keen to get in touch with Reva. If any of you know her, please can you ask her to contact me on 07941 383653 Many thanks Sue Coleman on behalf of the Coleman family trees!

Hi, Wondering if anyone can take a look at http://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Community/Leeds/cemeteries/Hilltop/Burial_1894.htm and http://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Community/Leeds/cemeteries/Hilltop/Burial_1441.htm As always it's the Hebrew names I am interested in (if you can read what they say). Thanks Sherry Landa (23170 Viersat)

Dear British Jewry Supporters. As we close out 2012 and look forward to another exciting year of personal family history discoveries, I would like to toast everyone their good health and happiness and successful sleuthing. Everyone on this site has, as usual, been incredibly supportive with good advice as well investigating on other genners' behalf and providing answers. My own personal life is now seeing one chapter close and another open as I relocate from Berkeley, where I have lived since 1993 and move 100 miles east to Folsom, California. Looking forward to seeing you all online and hopefully some of you in Boston next summer.

This type of handwritten reference to an entry in a later quarter was a standard method of cross-referring to a 'late' registration. You'll find it at the foot of many pages of the births index, especially during the war years. The earlier reference is abbreviated because it's a cross-reference, not an index entry in its own right. The GRO index is an index of birth *registrations*, not of births, so if a birth was registered only in 1943 you wouldn't expect to find a full entry in 1940.

Dear BJers Every once in a while I actually get the chance to do some more work on my own families. Last night I was using FreeBMD to enter some ALTMAN relatives and discovered something I've never seen before. The second quarter of 1943 listed two Altmans, both with the same mother's maiden name, but the first entry's place of registration was Carmarthen, Wales, and the second was Edmonton, London. How could this be! The FreeBMD entries alerted me to an earlier entry for 1940 for the Carmarthen birth and sure enough, at the bottom of the column was a handwritten entry which listed the full name, volume number and the note "see J43" meaning see the entry for June 1943. I am assuming this latter entry was a delayed birth entry. My point is that while I was quite comfortable seeing a delayed birth registration, I don't recall ever seeing an entry also in the right quarter/year with no registration but a note to see a delayed entry index location. Has anyone else ever come across this anomaly?
