You've said a couple of times on this thread that it was Joseph who immigrated from Russia/Poland - if that's true, one would not necessarily expect to see records of his father Solomon in English records

You may be interested to see an explanation of the etymology of the name Blashkovsky (which is likely to be a cognate of Blaschkofsky) in the account of Jewish family names linked here:  http://tinyurl.com/58gfmh

Thanks for the advice.

I notice there is a Solomon Kosky who entered England on the Ancestry web site, but I do not have access to the records as I dont have membership.

Could anyone be nice enough to have a look at the record for me, if they have membership? It says he entered Southampton.

Thanks ALOT!!

Hmm...maybe not him if he was 76 in 1878.

his son joseph was 29 in 1917 and lived at 28 Philpot Street if this helps.

Any other ideas of where we could locate his father Solomon, and when and where he entered the UK?

thanks guys

No, this Solomon was 76 in 1954 (estimated birth year 1878)!!!

Got some new info...

Solomon Koski   
Age 20 in 1901
London   -  Whitechapel   
Occupation -  Tailor
Married in 1903 - Possibly to Helen E ??

Could anyone find anymore info ?

Thanks alot!!

If your Joseph was born about 1890 (aged 27 in 1917 from the marriage certificate to Annie Levene?)
then Solomon Koski born about 1881 from the 1901 census cannot be his father.

1901
RG13 Piece 301 Folio 147 Page 33
45 Faldgate St, Mile End New Town, Whitechapel, London
Hyman KOSKI Head 46 Tailor b Russia British Subject
Sarah Wife 46 b London
Harry Son 24 Tailor b London
Solomon Son 20 Tailor b London
Philip Son 17 Tailor b London
?Louis Son 14 Tailor b London
Toby LEVIN Serv married 47 Servant Domestic b Russia

What occupations are given for Joseph and Solomon on the certificate?  Are they both down as tailors?

Kind regards
