Australia / Tracking ancestry of Rose Julia Mazzucato nee Cohen
« on: Wednesday 03 March 21 08:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi my lovely and lively Australian cousin Rose sadly died in July2017 near Perth Western Australia. Do any of my Australian relatives connected to her with names Abrahams or Moss or Cohen have any information on her line other than one way or other we share great grandfather Abraham Scott born Schottlander who was married twice and had many children whom I do know about to a certain level. Rose and I met with my late wife Marlene in Perth in 2011 and as live in Uk and never visited WA since miss her helpfulness on research and her good company as a tour guide before we started a cruise from Fremantle. Regards Anthony

Does anybody know any relative or friend who was a colleague of my uncle at RAF Halton or Preston 1940  - 1945 or with the No2 Disarmament Unit at Detmold and Bielefeld Germany 1945 - 1946 . He was dedicated to instructing Polish airman at home and to healing the wounds for Jewish victims of the camps and making Nazis pay for their crimes.

hello to all those posting about cameron ,his marriage ,children,military ,will etc. This is fascinating to me as I am connected along Jewish line of salamons and ethel's marriage. All salamons etc are on my tree -scottfamilyheritage. I go by fbmd also on dates ut am at a loss to follow what happened about will.Did he possibly divorce Ethel and remarry but only remarried in church not at a Belgian town hall- who can verify the Belgian end. We can verify military stuff on Gazette as said what known of education and professional career -doesnt appear to be on wikipedia or peerage websites-my favourites.

regards

Has anybody come across this mysterious  Jewish uncle of mine who married somewhere a Jewish lady called Sulamite (susi) natan in 1932 and was in Raf service (voluntary reserve then training/interpreting with Poles at RAF (1940-1945) then counselling liberated Jewish survivors from Belsen (1945-1946), then worked in Sales for Yardley in Stockholm till retirement, I have to fill in blanks before RAF career and after. He apparently spent some time on continent possibly in Poland in 1920s/1930s and possibly also in Germany where he had business contacts in Frankfurt. In UK he or Susi lived at 16 Lionel Avenue. He also remarried after Susi;s death (1972) to a Denise Wise in Monte Carlo or Israel

Hello Anthony-thank you very much - I would like to follow up possible connections with you-my site over time is pretty comprehensive on the barnato relatives and Laurence Harris -a distant barnato relative has been helpful here too-he is also on my heritage- a big noise on this and jgs.

Ever since Esther Rantzen tv prog I have enjoyed the barnato histories and will be visiting grave stones soon in Willesden.

Please contact me again on (*) can I put your photo on my tree-don't know how to download to my system.

Regards Anthony- ps do you have a tree and or relationship to Barnato exact details?

England / Re: death details for my uncle gustave rudolf wolffe -1900-
« on: Sunday 18 August 13 10:19 BST (UK)  »
Thank you very much Aghadowey and Bumble- we have namesakes GRW here -though whether was Gustav or Gustave is debateable.The one with e is more probable as it is French and I have roots in French migration though Alsace is on shifting border in 19th/20th c.
I agree that my uncle commonly known as Ralph was born in Birmingham in 1900- not same one as on Archer tree- so this line is rejected and I know moved with his parents -father Jacob and mother Julia to London (hampstead) by 1911 -so both censuses tally. I now suspect that it was the namesake GRW who married Joan H and Anne Wilson (Findlay-Wilson?) and shall move this stuff off my tree and start again.

Archer tree -thanks but no thanks has nothing to do with me.

cheers

England / death details for my uncle gustave rudolf wolffe -1900-
« on: Saturday 17 August 13 15:28 BST (UK)  »
Hello -can anyone help having exhausted all the usual source channels-my jewish non-observant uncle GRJ was born in Birmingham 1900 and married a Joan Hooper - Chelsea 1936- divorced -then remarried an Ann Wilson in 1947 and electoral register shows Gustave and Anne living in Eaton Place Belgravia London in 1962. Joan Hooper remarried twice1. to Christopher Barker in 1943 and 2. to an Alfred Carritt in 1952- he died in Wokingham in 1961. Apart from Carritt all appear to have London roots. Without my knowledge he might have emigrated in later life of course. Someone might be Wilson/Barker/Hooper /Carritt related -if so please send them my way.

This is from my maternal side. Regards- Anthony Scott- Norman- born Scott
