    3. Dear Sheila, Did a quick search of a free BirthsMarriages&Death site. They have a marriage of a William George Morton taking place in the 4th Quarter of 1845 at Shoreditch, vol 2, page 420. There are a number of choices for the partner (as that entry contains about 5 couples). However, I would plump for Sophia CUFFLEY as Sophia is close to Salome (which may have been a familar name, rather than the name she was given at birth). I hope that this helps. Miriam Pollak Cambridge PS Have a very happy Pesach. > From: sdi39142@bigpond.net.au > To: british-jewry@rootsweb.com > Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:42:02 +1000 > Subject: [BRITISH-JEWRY] Re finding GGGrandmothers' Maiden name > > We have been searching for ages for our GGGranmothers Maiden name. As someone already asked you a similar question and the answer was to order a childs Birth Certificate, but the child was born in Gibraltar and we haven't been able to find necessary numbers to order Cert. My GGG's name was SALOME and left several cyrilic language books when she died. We wondered if she had been born Jewish, she spoke German at home. She married ( not sure where) her husband, WILLIAM GEORGE MORTON was stationed in Gibraltar in the Army and their daughter ELIZA was born there in 1848. They went back to the UK and SALOME died in Briton Ferry and was buried in NEATH Glamorganshire, in 1851. Forgive me if this is a too awkward request but we have to try everything, don't we?
