http://www.shl.lon.ac.uk/specialcollections/archives/studentrecords.shtml Searchable lists of students and University of London graduates, 1836-1931 included are students who attended the predecessor institutions of universities such as Birmingham, Bristol, Durham, Heriot-Watt, Southampton, Exeter, Newcastle, Nottingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, Bangor, Aberystwyth, Surrey, Queen's University Belfast, and University College Dublin. Might be useful depending on the type of teacher. There also records of staff sometimes for orphanages etc. <teacher in the Whitechapel area circa 1900> Jackye Sullins, Carlsbad, CA> Naomi Ogin Brisbane

Thank you to everyone who posted a suggestion. One lister found this family in 1901 under a totally random spelling. He wasn't a teacher then but I am still going to follow up. I appreciate the help. Jackye in Carlsbad on a rainy morning (never rains in sunny CA!)

School logbooks would probably be your best bet for identifying staff members. While some pupil admission/discharge registers are online, few (if any) logbooks are. So it would require a manual search at the archives and, unless you know the names of likely schools, it would be a rather impractical one, as there are a huge number of schools and teachers did not necessarily live near their place of work. If you want to pursue it, most London state school records up to the 1980s are kept at London Metropolitan Archives (not at the local borough archives). To see a list of holdings for the Whitechapel/Stepney area, search their online catalogue on reference code LCC/EO/DIV05. http://bit.ly/T45lPE Private/independent schools have mostly retained their own records, though a few of the more famous ones have been deposited (mostly at Guildhall Library).

Hi Jackye The 1901 / 1911 census would give his occupation. I'm happy to do a look-up if you'll let me have his name. London Metropolitan Archives has a lot of school records on-line (search.lma.gov.opac_lma/onlineresources.html) Happy to help out if you send me more info.

Hi Jackye Your friend might try to find out if the local council keeps education archive records. A long shot but there may be records there that will confirm what she wants to know. Though it would help her search if she has an idea of the name of the school or schools where her relative taught.

You can narrow the search to Marion Finn via 192.com , this may help you to narrow down the number of possibilities as it searches the electoral role.

Hi people, As always, this list has turned up trumps. Thanks to Miriam Margolyes, I think I now have the contact info for my relative. Cheers, Eve

Try the Jewish Music Institute at SOAS Kind regards Saul

Dear Martha, I searched "google" and within a few minutes read quite a few facts about Visiting musicians and groups in London during the beginning of the 20th century (1903-4) including information about a couple of books on the subject. I just wrote "London 1903-4 visiting russian musicals" Have a try ! Sincerely, Brenda Habshush. Israel. . .

Have thought of trying it, Sherry, and even made one attempt, but since I really don't know what to search FOR....I'm stumped! I don't know a town name for sure, it wouldn't have been Belarus then, etc. etc. "Music" is just too broad. Got any hot suggestions?

I am hoping to go this coming Saturday, so let me know what you want. I have heaps to do because I haven't been for ages, but am happy to try to get to yours too.

Hello to anyone who is intending to go to the National Archives in Kew in the foreseeable future. Having spent several hours in the Archives in July this year and discovering that the three names I was researching to see whether any of them were my ancestors, were NOT, I then returned home to Adelaide and discovered another family name which, somehow I missed during my many years of research. So what I am looking for now is some kind person who will be visiting the Archives and is willing to look at the naturalisation information for one of my cousins, Morris Osner from ''Russia''. I have the details required which would help identify this cousin - date of birth, names of parents, etc. - which I will, of course, supply to anyone who offers to assist. Should the application belong to the right Morris, I can then send for it. Yours hopefully, Myra Waddell. (Adelaide, South Australia) GOLDENBERG, Romania/France. England-London and Liverpool.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to find out about musical groups (choirs, anything else) that came to London to perform, from Russia (probably around Gomel, but could have been somewhere else in what is now Belarus or Ukraine), between about September 1903-March (April?) 1904? My maternal grandmother came with such a group, she must have been pregnant when she came, and she jumped ship: when the group returned to Russia, she stayed behind in England.

First an apology: I drafted the message below intending to save it until after Yom Kippur, but I hit the send button instead of the draft button. So, here it is again… 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 Dublin born Nellie/Eleanor FREEMAN in Belfast 1903. In 1911 they were living back 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 been told 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. Best wishes and Shana Tova, Monica McMullin UK. monicamcmullin@mac.com
