I have located a brother of my husband's grandfather in the 1901 UK Census. I have found a gravestone for him in Edmonton Jewish Cemetery in London, and have found his death record in the GRO index. (Have not received the actual certificate yet.) However, although the 1901 census shows him, his wife and six children in 1901 I cannot find another reference to any of them. They came originally from Warsaw, Poland and probably had very strong accents, so the spellings would be iffy. I've tried various spellings in searches, but no luck so far. Can anyone advise me?

Incidentally, if you're after info about Jewish research, there's some info under History in the FTF Reference Library.

I owe everyone an apology. I found him again in the 1911 census. His name is Morris Sandground. He came to England after 1891, since the children born before 1891 were born in Warsaw, Poland, and those born after 1891 were born in London, in St. Marylebone, where they were living in 1901. In 1911 they were living in Spitalfields. On the 1901 census his wife was Fanse. In the 1911 census it was Fany. In 1901 he had six children, Batsy, Sairhe, Doria, Harei, Eme (or Erne) and Kaitte. In the 1911 census only four children were listed, Dora, Harry, Annie and Kaite. Assuming Annie was Eme, two children are missing, Sairhe and Batsy. Interestingly, the two missing children were the ones born in Poland.
Again according to the family, a daughter, Sarah (presumably "Sairhe" in 1901) married and had two children. There was a rift in the family, presumably, and apart from the fact that they knew of Katie, they knew nothing else. I presume the son identified on his gravestone was Harry. I'm going to start looking for Harry and the other children; maybe I'll get lucky, but any suggestions will be welcome. I am really searching for his descendants.

Since the two older girls were in their 20's in 1911 it is not surprising that they were not at home. They may have married (try FreeBMD with wild characters) or be in service somewhere (in which case they should be elsewhere in the census under some spelling or other)People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace
Places: Pembrokeshire, Kent.

Sarah married in 1909:
Marriages Sep 1909
FALK Annie Whitechapel 1c 465
OUSPETTER Isaac Whitechapel 1c 465
RABINOVITZ Isaac Whitechapel 1c 465
SANDGROUND Sarah Whitechapel 1c 465
Betsy in 1906
Marriages Dec 1906
BOND Max Whitechapel 1c 468
SANDGROUND Betsy Whitechapel 1c 468
SOLOMONS Joseph Whitechapel 1c 468
Weiner Sarah Whitechapel 1c 468
There are Solomons and Sandground births..the ones showing the mothers maiden name begin with Alfred A, Mile End, Dec 1911, Godfrey, Whitechapel, June 1913, Edward G, Whitechapel, June, 1914 and two further males which can't be named on here in case they are living, one June, 1916 and one Sept, 1918. If you look at FreeBMD and put in Sandground for the mother, you'll see them. There is a Rabinowitch and Sandground birth in 1922. Might poss be a bit late though. There are marriages for a Dora and a Dolly as well as Annie (Eme??)...http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.plLast edited by naomiatt; 24-08-11, 02:51.

Have you noticed that according to 1911 census, they had 10 children, of which only 6 were still living?Lynne
