Hi Waitabit.

Hi Jay
The trail goes cold after 1891 in UK. Did Pauline marry in England or Australia? Which state did she live in. Do you have her immigration record?
The census and birth record look good. The research in Germany and Poland/Russia will be an exciting challenge.

Hi Christanel
Pauline left the UK and travelled to South Africa to follow her beau.
Pauline was married in Capetown when she was 33 (abt. 1898) so I assume she left the UK just prior to 1898.
The name I have for her husband, my great grandfather, is Isaac Joseph SOLOMON, which is the name he had when arriving in Australia in 1908 with their 6 children.
However we think this was not his original name.Isaac?? was born in Birmingham abt.1859.
thank you for your help.

Hello Jay,

Have you had no luck on JewishGen?

I would imagine that Julia came from Posen (not Rosen), which was the German province bordering on Russian (or Congress) Poland.

Pizer was the Yiddish name for Pyzdry, a border town in the province of Kalisz (Kalish). Polish records include Pejzer and Pajzer as variant spellings of the surname; Prussian records have the name Peiser (pronounced Pizer - long 'i'). The town was known as Peisern in German.

I cannot place Stoonen and suspect that there is a transcription error there. Can someone check the original?

Hi Justin
for once the original is quite clear and I can't make it anything other than Stoonen although ancestry has it as Stooner, which I will concede.[
For Julia ancestry and I agree that the original says Rosen BUT having looked at the P in pupil teacher I think you are correct it is Posen.
