Hi Colin, <My great-aunt, Brenda Salaman, married Charles Sligs* Seligman [1873-1940], later FRS. He was son of Hermann Seligmann [1835-89]... In the family photo album there is a photo of Adrian Seligman. There is a possible clandestine war link between my father and the latter .. and wonder if there is a family link between 'Sligs' and Adrian out there.> Whilst I can't presently pinpoint the precise family connection, I hope the following information provides some assistance. Adrian (Adrien) Charles C SELIGMAN (26 Nov 1909 - Aug 2003) was a master mariner (according to a 1948 passenger list for "Mauretania"). He was the son of Richard Joseph Simon SELIGMAN (17 Mar 1878 - Sep 1972) and Hilda Mary McDOWELL (1882 - 20 Dec 1964). The 1911 census shows that Adrian had an older sister named Audrey and his father's occupation as Chemist and Chemical Engineer. Adrian's paternal grandparents were Isaac SELIGMAN (2 Dec 1834 - 9 Apr 1928) and Lina (Lena) MESSEL (c1851 - 1 Oct 1925). Isaac's obituary, which may provide some useful clues, is quoted as follows: "DEATH OF MR. ISAAC SELIGMAN. The death is announced of Mr. Isaac Seligman, senior partner in, and founder of, the firm of Seligman Brothers, who has just passed away in his 94th year. Born on December 2, 1834, he graduated at the College of New York in 1853, and then joined his brothers' firm in New York, which was subsequently converted into a banking business under the name of M. and W. Seligman and Co. In 1864 a London branch, Seligman Brothers, was opened by Mr. Seligman, and since then and until quite recently he has taken an active part in the affairs of the City." As soon as I've tidied up all my relevant notes I'll email a copy to your private email address. Cheers, Babs O'Connor Penrith NSW Australia P.S. My SELIGMAN connection is through the marriage of one of Richard's brothers
