Harris Moscovitch born around 1841 and wife Rosa born around 1843 appear on the 1891 UK census living in Manchester. I cannot find them again. Their son Woolf's marriage certificate for 1907 says Harris deceased by then. I find no death record for either of them. My primary goal is to figure out where they came from "Russia/Poland" obviously tells me nothing. Although I know Harris's Hebrew name from my grandfather's headstone, I have no idea of what his non-anglicized name was. I can also find no further records on their daughter Rebecca b abt 1877 after that census. I have checked the marriages through 1920. The two that I found are Lewis Moscovitch's daughter (My cousin) and one who has a different father listed on her marriage certificate. The only death that comes up is 1918 and that person is too young to be the same one. There was another Harris Moscovitch b about 1855 and wife Nancy also living in Manchester at the same time. He is the one that became naturalized (7 below) ALREADY ELIMINATED by actual records received are: 1. Harris and Rosy Muscovitch found in 1901 census 2. Harris Moscovitch death 1911 Prestwich 3. Harris Moscovitch death 1918 Prestwich 4. Rose Moscovitch death 1922 Broughton 5. Rosa Moscovitch death 1936 Stepney 6. Rose Moscovitch death 1938 Hackney 7. Harris Moscovitch of Manchester who was naturalized in 1896. 8. Harris Moscovitch from Glascow that applied for naturalization. Yes. I have spent a lot of money obtaining actual paperwork but to little avail.
