Gran did a family tree (roughly) for me a few months ago... so I will decipher it as best I can.
Here we go
Maurice Gonshaw was born Nov 16th 1894 at no1 Belgrave Gdns to
Aaron Cohen and Frederika Meljens
He had two known sisters Ray and Leah (Ray had a family but gran couldnt remember details, Leah didnt have a family that she knows of)
3 known brothers Abraham, Louis and Joe
Abrahams offspring Aflred, Francesca and Robin
Joe had twin daughters, that I believe grandma has been in touch with over the years.
Esther (Ella) was one of 16 children - 11 of which survived Maurice who had 6 kids, Jack had 4 kids, Manny had 6 kids, Philip had 4 kids, Rachel, Katie with 4 kids, Leah with 3 kids, Golda, Sarah had 5 kids, Clara 2 kids, and Esther who had Irene, Norman and Sidney. Norman is still with us, although sadly one of his daughters passed away only 2 weeks ago. Sidney died at 29
Esther was born in st Petersburg Jan 24 1898 and Married Maurice in 1921
sorry if im not using the right lingo or whatever, but im new to all this, but thrilled to bits to be making connections!
Grandma is super excited - she has tried searching for family over the years but has never got anywhere, and will be happy to answer any questions we have, so fire away!!
(PS. not that it is as relevant but I have a lot of info on the Frener side too
)
