I was in touch recently with a BJ lister about one of her relatives who was a witness at the marriage of one of my great aunts. This made me wonder if it would be of interest to post the names of all the witnesses on the marriage certificates I have acquired.......it might provide a link to a certain place / time / inter-family friendship if you see a name on my list which is also on your tree. Date of marriage / Place / Witnesses December 1884 Liverpool Louis HAMMERSTEIN and Judah LAZARUS December 1894 Liverpool D.G.BAKER and Isaac GOODMAN August 1898 Whitechapel B.W TURNER and Jacob ISAACS November 1901 Liverpool J.DAVIES and B. BLANK December 1901 Liverpool W. ADLER and a name in ?Yiddish December 1902 Liverpool S.ROBINSON (?) and David AFFKIN / HAFKIN January 1908 Liverpool Morris ABRAHAMS and Joshua COOPERSTEIN August 1915 Liverpool Simon LEVY and Emanuel SHAW I know nothing more about most of these witnesses, but if anyone recognizes any of the names above I can tell you a bit more about the people getting married. From Susanne BARTON (Canada, where it is so cold that the "hand" on the outdoor thermometer was off the bottom of the scale! Other sources tell me it was about minus 34 C, with a wind chill of minus 44 C, this morning)
