Fannys dad was Morris Taylor

My grandad was Gershon ?Braun but became George Brown when he arrived in Uk.

Gershon Brown

I thought he was Russian!!!

His dad was Wolfe.
My parents separated when I was a baby and I never met any of these people.

The Sadaskis landed in Birkenhead and the Browns landed in Hull, they were alll Tailors by trade.

They were all Jews.

« on: Sunday 29 March 09 00:59 GMT (UK)  »
My great great grandma was Louisa Nelson 1838, her mother was Caroline Allen 1814-1862.
Her father was Robert Nelson 1815 his death could be 1856 as the family lived in swannington and I have found this record but not yet confirmed.
I cannot find any parents for Robert. I am stuck.
Any help would be much appreciated--I would love to find if we have a link to  Admiral Horatio.
Thanks Val

Bedfordshire / Trying to find an aunt
« on: Sunday 29 March 09 00:22 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather started life as Gershon Braun in Poland/Russia, on arriving in England he became George Brown, when my grandma died in 1936, he moved to Wellingborough where he lodged with and eventually married a Elsie May Sharp.He was a journeyman Tailor and a Jew.
My parents parted when I was a baby and I never met my father till later in my life and never met his parents. I believe Gershon and Elsie had a child we think and I would love to find my "aunt"
They lived in Abbey Rd or Street,Wellingborough. how do you find a girl who I think may have been called Jill surname Brown, born sometime after 1937???? He died in 1964 aged 85. His Jewish cousins took him back to Hull where he is buried.
I realise this is a long shot but somebody might just know them.
The census I found showed living with Elsie was  William, Sarah and  Donald prior to Gershon moving in, one could have been husband but I  believe one son was a policeman.
Any help would be great.
Val
