There were 2 brothers ( that I know of.) from Gombin, Poland, Abraham & Henry FRIEND.Their father was Jacob Leib FRIEND. Henry was a sponge dealer & had 8 children. Lived in Leeds. Abraham was a boot & shoe man, had 8 children. Lived in Thirsk, Yorkshire. (I bet there aren't any Jews there now!) Both families at one time lived in Trafalgar & Templar St, Leeds. In 1879, Abraham married Dinah FRANKEL from Newcastle. There are strong South African connections. If anyone has links with this family, please contact me. I am especially interested in Henry's daughter, Ethel. born 23 Feb 1884. Miriam Margolyes New York searching: FRANKEL (Sunderland) LEWIS & JENKINS (Newcastle)
