Morris Dibnah

Many Jews fleeing Russia came on ships sailing to Hull; their surnames could have been anglicised when they settled in the area.

....another helpful thought.

Thank you.

Is it worth investigating the marriage in 1926 Stepney?  Should give fathers names/occupations which might be helpful tracing back

Yes, I have the certificate.  They married at the Great Alie Street Synagogue, Whitechapel.  Sadly it merely notes Morris's father as Harris B Dibnah (who appears nowhere else that I can see in on-line records), with no profession noted.  Similarly with his new wife.

Have you thought about contacting the Jewish Genealogical Society?

I had not, but will.  Thanks again.

Hello.

This is a bit random, but you may be able to actually help me!

If this is the Esther Greenstein who married Morris Dibnah (1926) that I believe it to be, then she had two (illegitimate?) children in 1918 and 1921(ish, I'm not certain of the year for this one). Two boys who were the put into the Barnardo's home in Islington. This was when Esther was living in Wanstead/Mile End and working as a bag maker - living with her family (dad, Alter, mum Fanny).

I am the granddaughter of one of the boys who was in the children's homes. I am currently researching a little into our family history so anything that you have about Esther or Morris, or Esther's siblings (there were many - Louis, who then died in 1912, the year after the census, Lottie, Ada and some others).
Or what happened to Esther and Morris' children I would be very interested. Of course, if the information that I have gathered is correct, then I am distantly related to them...!

Also, I know all about his "new wife" Esther.... since well, she would have been my great grandmother.

I'll swap you Esther info for Morris info??!?!?
