Dave Working backwards, the 1901 census has him born in Poland. The 1891 census has him born in Poland, too, but gives the town as something that looks like Zasomp. Hope this helps. Happy hunting!

Hi Rosemary, Thanks but I'm not sure that's correct. His first 3 children were reg as Russian subject but the fourth born in London. Would that mean that they arrived here after the third child Elizah who was reg at Jewish Free School in 1895. Are you looking at correct Harris ? I'm a novice so please persevere with me ;0) Dave Pearce On 27 May 2013, at 19:15, "Rosemary Rees" <rosemary.rees1@btinternet.com> wrote: > Dave > Working backwards, the 1901 census has him born in Poland. > The 1891 census has him born in Poland, too, but gives the town as something that looks like Zasomp. > Hope this helps. > Happy hunting! > Rosemary > > Settle, North Yorkshire, where its wet and cold, researching Woolf(e) and Jewell when she has the time! > > On 27 May 2013, at 18:54, david pearce <david.r.pearce@hotmail.co.uk> wrote: > >> Hoping someone can offer some help.

David, Since Harris is a common name, it would help if you listed the names and ages as you found them in 1901 and 1911. Which ones are Fineberg? What was the head of household's occupation? This will also help. Also, don't get bogged down between Poland and Russia. Many of our ancestors lived in places that changed control over the years. My grandmother listed her original country once as Russia/Poland. Jackye Sullins Admin in Westchester, CA > Thanks but I'm not sure that's correct.

At least two of my gr gr grandparents were born in Poland while it was under Russian power (which it often was, through the years), so they were Russian subjects, but the family always called themselves Polish. Martha

My gt grandfather is listed as born in Russia Poland. I assumed this was the part of Poland annexed by the Russians in the late 18th century. His wife is listed as Poland Prussia. Prussia also annexed a different part of Poland at the same time. The third part was annexed by Austria.
