Hello

Thank you very much for trying to help. However, please note that you have the incorrect Louis Schiff.  Saling's brother Louis was still living in 15 Langham Street, London W1 in 1871 and he passed away in Forest Hill in London on the 5 November 1875. He was married to Fanny and as far as I am aware they did not have any children.

Best wishes

Hi Justin

I found an Abraham Schiff and Leopold Schiff in Yorkshire in the 1841 census.

Then I found an Abraham Schiff who died in East London in 1850 and a Leopold Schiff who died in East London in 1851.   

In 1852 Saling Schiff called his son Abraham and the next son he had in 1853 he named Leopold - possibly after his late father and brother. 

I guess the explanation for them living in Yorkshire in 1841 away from the rest of the family would be that Abraham had an unusual occupation - a hawker.

What do you think?

Kind regards
Paula 

Ok, thank you very much for your advice Justin and if you find anything else out in the future please let me know.

Kind regards

Justin, I found this earlier:   https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NRW5-PLB

Could this be Ernestine Schiff? How would I go about finding out?

Thanks
