This is a long shot, a rumour in the family that my Tabram Ancestors where Russian Jews. So far all the ones I have traced have been born in London.

Is there anyway of tracing Russian Jews that came to London around 1900?

I have Tabram's & Tabrahams in my tree from Hoxton/Shoreditch/Bethnal Green, London.
Henry Tabraham 1812, his son ... Henry Tabram 1834 (surname changed for some reason) married a Martha Mosley they had a son called
Alfred Tabram 1861 who Married a Rebecca Neal in Bethnal Green in 1884. Thanks.

Those for the period 1879-1919 are in document class HO144.

You could also try some of the databases at Jewish Gen.

Not a common name but in the 19th century there was a concentration of the name TABRAM / TABRAHAM in Huntingdonshire & Cambridgeshire. If you look at the 1881 census, you'll see that none of them in those counties was born abroad.

It might be worth extending your investigations a little further north.
