Hi Debbie,
I'm another Gill. I've been researching the 'Lewis' family, originally from 'Poland/Russia. I have got a bit stuck. My great grandfather travelled and settled in 'San Fransico US mid 1800's. He's christian name was Leonard according to the marriage certificate of my grandfather Benjamin Lewis & my grandmother, Sarah Shafner, (known as Cissie).
Benjamin, bn 1865 in San Francisco, came to England 188o's. However, there is a San Francisco record US record of an Emanuel Lewis that tallies. If you can help, I will be able to give precise dates. Best regards Gilly

I had a look in the books and in the Jewish Chronicles nothing with that spellings. I tried putting the surnames into this search engine below and it came up with some possible different spellings of Agazzi that could be Jewish i.e. Agassi. You can try and look up any written material using this free site and any other possible surnames.

I had a look at a few other jewish websites that I have access to but nothing on those names, doesn't mean they was not Jewish but the surnames are certainly not coming up.
Sorry Debs

Sorry, I am somewhat uninformed on what exactly you might have to search through, so I'll tell you what I know so far.
Mervyn John Leonard Porter married Fay Weisbach [otherwise Fanny Weisberg] [ age 29] 8 Sep 1943 in The Registry Office in the District of Hackney.
Her father was shown as Harris Weisbach otherwise Weisberg - Carpenter (Journeyman). Witnesses: P. Weisbach & G (or S) Weisbach.
Her Occ: Clothing Manufacturer's Manageress
His Occ: Corporal R.E.M.E.
Fanny Sheba Weisberg was born 12 Oct 1913 at 193 Bethnal Green Rd., Bethnal Green District, County of London.
Father: Harris Weisberg - Cabinet Maker
Mother: Olga Weisberg formerly Penseus.
Fay Sheba Porter died 12 Sep 1957 [age 42] at Jewish Home of Rest, Balham. Informant: J. M. Porter widower of deceased 104 Lingwood Road, E5.
Death cert. issued in Wandsworth District. [NOTE: He called himself John Mervyn, although his real name was Mervyn John]
*********************
Would like any info. on Harris & Olga Weisberg. Where born, married, died.
Also, any info on Jewish home of Rest - address, what was it, etc.
& anything else you find Also confused why they would change surname from Weisberg to Weisbach (sometime between 1913 & 1943). They both sound German to me, if the idea was to appear more English ???
Thanks
Elaine

OK Thanks. I wasn't sure what you had. Do you have any theories/ideas on why they would change their name from Weisberg to Weisbach sometime between her birth in 1913 & her marriage in 1943 ?
