Hi everyone, i am trying to make sense of some documents i have, and am struggling because i have various name changes on the different documents, i will try to make some sense!
my paternal great grandmothers brother- JACOB no surname on cert. 6th october 1906- father SAM NATHAN WOLITZSKY. mother- KATE WOLITZSKY formerly NABARRO. occ. of father cloth cap maker. informant- mother KATE WOLITZSKY- 88 nichols square, hackney road. birth registered 10th november 1906.
My paternal great grandmother- born HILDA WOLITZSKY- 15th december 1908- father SAMUEL WOLITZSKY NATHAN. mother KATE NATHAN formerly JACOBS. occ. of father- cap machinist. informant- mother KATE NATHAN- 6 william street, leyton. birth registered- eight feb- 1909.
i don't understand all the name changes for kate. When i researched before i thought she was born Nabarro, from the birth certs she changes her name according to which last name samuel is using.
Census records-
1911- 250 Boundary road- Kate Nathan, b1876, milliner, married, german.
Hilda Nathan, b1909. the image says 2-4mths old which would be wrong, but the transcript says born 1909. so a little confused by this. but it;s the only Hilda and kate i can find, no Samuel.
i was told Jacob was adopted out and changed his name to smith/smyth- and found this census return:
1911- Jack Nathan- nurse child, aged 4. head of house Julia Smyth- nurse mother.
The only Samuel, Cap Maker of the same age as my Samuel would be is:
1901- SAMUEL surname N.K.- Married, age 32- cap maker- Russia, Russian subject. Frostic Mansion, 19 whitechapel, london.
so trying to find Samuel and Kate, is proving difficult, and i can't find them together at all. I did have some info that Samuel had a cloth cap factory, and had an affair with Kate which is why Jacob was adopted out, and that he died in 1918. The only other Samuel Wolitzsky i can find is married to a hannah goschowsky.
i do have a marriage cert for Hilda to my great grandfather that cited Hilda's father in 1930 as SAMUEL NATHAN, deceased. Hilda surname is NATHAN on the marriage certificate.
I know i have the right hilda, as her death cert is HILDA HOWLETT which is the name i knew her by, she married a Howlett in later life, and the birth date on her death cert matches the birth cert for her above.
Can anyone help me? point me any direction at all? I have looked at this so long i have a total block of what to do next.
thank you in advance
