Surnames: goldberg Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/FOZ.2ACEB/224 Message Board Post: I am trying to find out information re my g.g. grandfather. His name was Melech Goldberg born about 1833. Not sure where but may have been Poland/Russia. He married Matilda Nurenberg in 1867 and they had two children Isaac and Abraham. Melech died in Leeds in 1870. On the marriage certificate it states that Melech was a Widower. I cannot find any trace of Melech prior to this marriage. Melech was a 'Reader' on his marriage and when Isaac was born he was a 'Minister to the Hebrew Congregation in Leeds'. I would really appreciate any information as not knowing who Melechs parents were or where he was born I have reached a brick wall.
