    1. [BRITISH-JEWRY] Searching: Morwitch Morewitch Morwich Morvitch
    2. morwitch
    3. G'day all. I am searching for any of the name Morwitch, in England. Some brick walls have arisen, but I still feel certain that there are relatives of brothers Samuel, Abraham Henry and Lyons Morwitch that I have not found. There is reference to Raphael Morwitch, father of Dora who married Abraham Jacobs in the 1901 census. I would welcome any assistance offered to work back up this family line. Also, I wonder if somebody would help me at their convenience. I am looking for somebody who may be travelling to Willesden (Liberal) cemetery. According to the Jewish Chronicle, Henry Morwitch died on the 10th of April 1907, and a memorial stone was set on the 20th of October 1907. I have no notion of the monument set by his wife Sophia, or a location for his grave. I would like a high resolution digital photograph of the grave of Henry Morwitch that allows us to read any inscription on the stone, and a wider shot of the whole monument. I have also been unable to ascertain the death details or location of burial of Sophia Morwitch, Henry's wife. The Jewish Chronicles ran a notice in the Wills and Bequests section in 1933 - "Mrs Sophia Morwitch, of 1 Madeira Court, Madeira Place, Brighton, who left estate of the gross value of £19,881, after making various bequests, left the residue of her property to the Brighton Jewish Synagogue subject to the erection of a suitably inscribed memorial to her husband and herself." Could somebody suggest a method or point of contact that might reveal this information or help me with same ? Any and all assistance received with gratitude. Scott Morwitch Brisbane Queensland Australia P.S. I am willing to photograph gravestones anywhere in Brisbane in return for assistance. Due to work commitments my only available window is on Sunday mornings, which sadly precludes trips to archives etc.
