Might this be Abraham Harris in 1901 - the writing on the actual census is tricky to work out !

PO, was going to edit my big post above but it exceeds the letter qty...
EDIT:Tara has suggested that I highlight my remaining brick walls... so here goes...
1). I am looking for the death listing of my great grandmother. I have found her grave at Dolphin's Barn cemetery in Dublin, she was buried on 7th July 1927 under the name FEIGE FREEMAN, nothing more in the cemetery records, but the GRO cannot find her death under any of the variations I've found her named... FAIGA/FEIGE/FEGE FRIEDMAN/FREEDMAN/FREEMAN. I have not found her on the 1911 Irish or UK censuses either. She must have died in Ireland to be buried in Dublin within 1-2 days of death as is Jewish custom & if she remarried, surely she would have been buried under her new married name. She was 64 year of age on the 1901 census, so she would be about 90 when she died in 1927!
2. I cannot find the death of my grandfather's brother who was known as PHILIP FREEMAN on 1901 & 1911 Dublin census. Again, his name has also been found as Ralf/Ralph/Raphael Friedman/Freedman/Freeman. I have found that Philip never naturalised & he spent two years at Donnybrook Hospital from 1915 until he discharged himself at end of May 1917 as his daughter was very ill. I have a feeling that Philip Freeman died about the same time as my grandfather Louis Freeman visited Dublin on 28th June 1917. It is highly likely that this was Louis' reason to take his young family to Dublin. I have never found the death of Philip's wife Sarah Freeman either & have no idea when she died, but I do know it was after 1917 as she wrote a letter to Donnybrook Hospital regarding her husband in May 1917 & the address on the letter was Nș1 Green Street, Green, Orpington Kent. This may have been the address of one of her daughter's, possibly Nellie who I give more details about below. So the death's of Philip & Sarah Freeman remain brick walls.
3). Philip & Sarah Freeman had 9 children but only three daughters survived to marry & I need to trace the following three families...
4). Maria/Marie/Minnie nee Freeman married Harry Russell in Dublin's RO, possibly indicating that Harry Russell was perhaps not Jewish. On the 1911 Dublin census Maria Russell was listed with her parents & she had a 5 year-old daughter Winnie, who was born in Belfast, indicating that they lived in Belfast for a time. I need to trace this Russell family forward.
5). Ellen/Eleanor aka Nellie married Abraham Harris a Jewish Jeweller, they were living next door to Nellie's parents on the 1911 Dublin census with 5 year old daughter Simona & 2 year-old Esther. They possibly had a Jeweller's shop in Dublin circa 1900-1911 but might have moved to the Orpington address where Sarah wrote her letter from in 1917. Abraham Harris was aka Albert J Harris. I need to trace this Harris family forward.
6). Eva/Evelyn Freeman married Charles Berg a Jewish Cabinet Maker who is also listed as living with Eva & her parents on the Dublin 1911 census. They married in Liverpool in 1914 & had two children before they then moved to Manchester where they had two more children the last one born in 1929, then disappeared. I need to trace this Berg family forward.
EDIT:
7). My grandfather's sister Esther-Baila nee Freeman married Maurice Abramson in 1887 in Dublin & has not been found since! There is a possible connection to the Erlish family as I have found a Morris Abrahamson, with Myer Abrahamson & Rebecca & Herman Erlich at 2, Walworth Rd on the 1939/40 ERs Morris died in Dublin in 1944 & his death was registered by Bertha Erlich. Rebecca/Bertha & Baila Erlich are the same person & Baila, as she was known ran a Kosher Butcher's shop in Dublin for many years. I need to find what happened to Esther-Baila Abramson/Abrahamson after she married in 1887, I've so far found no children tot his marriage.
I hope this make a little more sense - it is complicated, my brick walls are bigger than China's! But one step as a time gets us there eventually, whether them steps are forward backwards or sideways!
Thanks everyone...
