Benjamin Morris married Sarah Nee cadish married 26 July 1879 Lomza, Poland

[Scott_M]

Big ask .. I wonder if there are any contacts out there who may be able to support Jewish ancestry ?

My 2 x grt grandparents were Jewish immigrants and I have picked up a little of there settlement in England which can be shared.. I found that they were married in Poland on 26th July 1879 in the town of Lomza in Poland identified as Russian subjects.

Through some research there are name variants of the Sarah as in Cardish, Kaddish, Cadish but it may be the original name Kadysz .. Sarah may be an English name used so original forename is questionable .... Benjamin I noted was listed as Benas in a marriage cert of one of his daughters .. I understand Hebrew for Benjamin ... I also noted that it could be the family original name is Mendel ...maybe a clue to Benjamin’s surname ..
All ifs and buts however the fact that the marriage is confirmed date and town I wonder if this may be a clue to further info..
Fingers crossed
Thanks for your interest

You will need to sign up to access some databases but JewishGen is an excellent starting point, hopefully you can find some pointers to original documents from Lomza.

I am not sure how big Lomza is - but this is possibly a tree from Lomza that may be connected to yours ?

born 1840 in Stawiski , Lomza - married in Sniadowo , Lomza - so I presume Lomza is a region ?

there are a few Kadysz born in Stawiski mid 1800s - I wonder if that village has a website ?

Be careful about the spelling.  The Polish alphabet has letters that don't exist in English.  The name is  correctly written Łomża, not Lomza.  The Ł with a line through it is pronounced like W in English, and ż with a dot on top is pronounced "zh", so the town sounds like "Wom-zha".  Wikipedia says the population varied over time: about 1,500 people in 1808; about 5,900 in 1827; about 22,000 in 1921; and about 63,000 today.

Hello Scott,

If I understand you correctly, you have the original marriage certificate in Russian. This makes things a bit trickier, because the original rendering in Polish has been transliterated into Russian. From 1868 to 1918/9, all vital records in Poland were in Russian.

UPDATE: I see from one of your earlier posts that the date and place of marriage were recorded on the birth cert of their daughter, Leah. Can you please post a snippet of the image here?

You have to think phonetically, but Kadysz is the most likely Polish spelling of the Anglicised form Cadish. A kadish is a traditional Hebrew prayer for the dead.

Yiddish forms of Sarah are Sore, Sora, Sure, etc.

Benjamin's Anglicised surname Morris is most commonly linked to the Hebrew name Mosheh, i.e. Moses. Where have you come across the link to Mendel?

Hi team, I would like to share a little more on my Links to the Morris family and reaching out to the forum for any further possible direction. Benjamin Morris and Sarah Caddish (Various spellings) were married in the Town of Lomza in Poland on 26th July 1879.
Listed as Russian Subjects in Census info 1891,1901,1911..
The family listed in 1911 census makes reference that 11 children were born and at the time of 1911 census there were 8 listed as living. The family from what is noted on census or in fact BDM certs acquired from UK GRO / Scotlands Peoples web site shows the following
I have connections to the descendants of the sisters Minnie, Fanny  Jinnie (Jane)  Morris and some info has been shared ... a few images shared also.
I would love to understand more of this family..
Benjamin & Sarah are identified as my 2 x grt Grandparents.
My challenge is that one of the three males in the family is my Grt Grandfather. Charles, Harry or Lazarus .. My DNA confirms with overwhelming evidence that this is my family and proved through the links that I have with the descendants of the three Morris sisters mentioned in the family... My DNA links me to other matched DNA cousins not in the Morris family however are common links to us all dna cousins and so all related..
The power of science through DNA has taken my ancestry hunt to a new level.
My Gran who was adopted  ... Original name "Jane Morris Palmer" - I have much information on her natural mothers side and I am seeking closure on the long running mystery of my Grans fathers roots.. I have a great start and learning much but I would love to take it further .. I appreciate any help

1890–1891
BIRTH 19 APR 1890 • Greenock, Scotland
DEATH 13 APRIL 1891 • Concord Street, North, Leeds, Yorkshire, England (Note makes the census 1891 just)

Guys, This is a great site and I have been interested in much of what has been posted with some great stories shared. I understand one of three males would be my grt grandfather and wonder if anyone of experience may hold info in direction to understand Charles, Harry or Lazarus movements and fates in life..

 

Thank you

Will do Justin regards the birth certificate with marriage ... bare with me ... the link to Mendel was strange as it was identified on a birth certificate of one of there children .. the inconsistencies were a few throughout the various census info and birth certs .. x marks were used and maiden name Kaddish was various spellings but Sarah used Mendel in one and I wondered if she mistakenly referred to a name that coulda may have been married name previous before Morris ?
