No worries. Likewise, I am not in favour of public trees, there's no substitute for hours of research and paying out for documentation. One of the reasons why I keep my tree private!

Did you copy that article from the Jewish Chronicle "Verbatim?"

Kid Curry

Not exactly verbatim as I could only get the computer generated text which had a lot of spelling mistakes - for example WOOLF was spelled WOLLBT, and PRISCILLA was spelled PRTSCILLA.

That sort of thing makes it hard to search. I knew the burial date so I knew the article was probably about Woolf Isaacs.

It would be lovely if they would open up the archives like the Trove website in Australia which has digitised images and text of many Australian newspapers. We, the public, can correct the text if there are mistakes.
