    1. Re: [BRITISH-JEWRY] SAPERIA AND LIVINGSTONE / LEVINSON
    2. Barbara Zimmer
    3. 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.
