    3. John - I just posted this to BJ... -----Original Message----- To: '[email protected]' Subject: Lewis & Galfsky Judi - Have you come across a KEINER family? They were living at 35 and 37 Van Dyke St in Leeds in 1881. Same address as when Jacob married Fanny/Jane in 1885. If you apply for the Hebrew Marriage Authorisation, that, in theory, should name Jacob's unmarried brothers and if you're fortunate, the place of origin for the bridge and groom. At worst, it provides full Hebrew names which helps go back in time. It should also show if Fanny's father was alive when they married. How was the family showing in 1901. You mentioned Isaac. Were there other siblings as well. Was Jacob still a slipper maker and what was the address. Have you tracked them in 1911. From what you've gathered, did they remain in Leeds. The London Gazette records naturalisations that took place as well as change of names, business info etc etc http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/home.aspx?geotype=London Not all naturalisations show in the UK Archives as being available on line and many people didn't naturalise. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp http://www.1911census.co.uk/ Again, if you're fortunate, that census info can tell place of origin, assuming that Jacob was still alive in April, 1911. <were Lewis brothers who left Tsarist Russia Judi Conway>
