Shalom Miriam, I have been following your letters and requests as I am in the middle of intensive Leeds research ! I did find (probably as you did) on the Leeds synagogue site, several chldren of Henry Friend whose name was also written as HARRIS. In the announcements the address is always Northfield Villas. 1. DINAH 2. HETTY (ETTY) 3.REBECCA 4. The lists incude grooms' families and addresses. On the burials list are Lena and Henry . http://www.jewishgen.org/JCR-UK/Leeds.htm Sincerely, Brenda Habshush, Kibbutz Sde Boker, Israel. -----Original Message----- From: british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Miriam Margolyes Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 6:09 PM To: British Jewry SIG Subject: [BRITISH-JEWRY] marriage FRIEND-FRANKEL aft 1870 Brick wall: can you help me leap over it? Henry FRIEND . born 1844 Gombin, Poland (sponge-maker, lived 2 Northfield Villas, Leeds, married Mary (Martha) SILVERBURG. In 1871, they were living in Leeds together. They had 3 children, Abraham, Lipman (Jack) & Rebecca, last born Sep 1870. Then he seems to have married again Selina (Lena) FRANKEL.. I know this from the birth certs of the children named below. They had 9 children -born between 1880 & 1897. Children were: Etty, Dinah, Jack, Isadore, Ethel, Cissie, Morris, Gertrude, Cyril. Selena died in 1919. Henry in 1908. But I cannot find either a death for Mary (1st wife) or a marriage for Selina. There is a Mary FRIEND who died in West Hartlepool aged 29 10a 103. That's not her (husband George, a stone mason.) Where can I search for the marriage: there's nothing in find my past.com If a synagogue marriage only, where would the Austhorizations be: in London, in Leeds?
