Sapiera Shapiera Shapiro

Am looking for any information regarding the Sapiera family who were Russian immigrants in the last part of the 19th Century.  In particular
Alec and his wife Ada, nee Friedman
their sons Phillip, Hyman and daughter Bessie

They could have been under the name Shapiera as that was the name used by Phillip aka Percival, who married Gertrude Eldon.  Phillip was born in Soho.

May also be known as Shapiro

Thanks

Thanks Pauline and Joe, will have a good look at these.  It does look like he is the Philip in Westminster.  Will try to get his birth certificate.
