I am hoping that the following may ring some bells for people;

I am looking for the 2 remaining 'lost' Heller sisters, there were 4
sisters born to David HELLER and Jane JACOBS; Annie HELLER born 1871,
Leah HELLER born 1872, Louisa HELLER born 1875 and Amelia HELLER born
1880, all ST GEORGE IN THE EAST, LONDON.

Louisa was my Great Grandmother, who married Moses PHILLIPS, Annie
married Alexander VELLEMAN and I am in contact with her family. The
two I am really interested in is:

Amelia HELLER who married Emanuel WITTENBERG a butcher in 1901, my
Aunt remembers the family and I have pictures of my Great Great Aunt
and her family but contact was lost with any member in around the
1940s. I do know that they had at least 3 daughters, Pauline
WITTENBERG, Janie WITTENBERG and Louisa WITTENBERG and my Aunt
remembers that one married a Louis MIDDA and she thinks the daughter
was called Denise MIDDA. I also have a wedding photo that my Aunt
believes was a WITTENBERG. If anyone knows that family or is of the
family I would love to hear from them.

Annie HELLER married Abraham HART around 1892, LONDON and I know
nothing of that family except my Aunt recalls that they were slightly
better off and moved away from the East End but can not recall
anything else and that may not be right. I know by the 1901 census
they had 4 children, Frances HART born 1892, Jane HART born 1894,
Napthali HART born 1898 and Leah HART born 1900. If again anyone knows
this family or is one of the family I would love to hear from them. I
am more interested in going forward, meeting cousins etc. but if it
helps I did research the HARTS a little going backwards and found that
Abraham HART father was probably Napthali HART whos wife was called
Fanny.

Thank you for your time spent reading my post
