Calling All Myers From Leeds....Cohen from Canada needs Help

[ScottM]

Thanks Kat.. I absolutely agree

Certs are bullet proof .. But other facts are able to build up via other means.. That list is sometimes considerable ..
Which helps.. That is where it looks to be heading though.. and that is fine.. I have spent a small fortune on buying certs over the last number of years .. mainly from the Scotlands BDM .. Edinburgh house on a few visits and of course Scotland's People web site .. The GRO site is not as good as the North of the border and is actually much more expensive which is a shame .. Thank goodness my history is much of north of the Border ...

I assume the mmn of Morris came from this birth record? COHEN, MEYER LOUIS - mmn MORRIS - GRO Reference: 1910 M Quarter in ECCLESALL BIERLOW Volume 09C Page 446

How do you know this is your Mayer Louis Cohen though, as the marriage record just gives the name Louis Cohen.

[Chrissie Smiff]

That one has a father Abraham though - 1911 - https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...&usePUBJs=true

Sorry, that appears to be another Meyer Louis Cohen.

[Olde Crone Holden]

There is an Isaac Cohen/Matilda Morris marriage in 1888 but that would mean they had been married 22 years when Louis was born. Not impossible of course, but a concern.

Yes that is the one Chrissie.. The cert is needed for confirmation .. Yes

I would have thought his marriage cert would be the first thing to send for Scott. It seems to be the first thing you are certain of isn't it?

[Chrissie Smiff]

I assume you have the details to send for it?
Marriages Mar 1934
Cohen Louis Cundle Leeds North 9b 629
Cundle Kate Cohen Leeds North 9b 629

It will hopefully give you the father's name and occupation. As long as he didn't lie for some reason of course.

[ScottM]

Thanks for your comments Chrissie..

[ScottM]

Yes Chrissie I do have the details.. Thank you very much

[Chrissie Smiff]

So I wonder where Kate is in 1939?

[Katarzyna]

Kate and Louis had a daughter J... b 1938 who should be there too so probably with her mother? I think she was their only child.

Is this known to you.....

Hi, just catching up, you may have answered already, do you have the civil Marriage cert for them?
As they married at Jews Synagogue, Belgrave Street (The Great Synagogue)

http://www.uhcleeds.com/the-shul/belgrave-street-the-old-great-synagogue/

You can obtain the Hebrew Marriage Authorisation which may provide more clues
I can help with the Hebrew. Although up to 1917 are on line to order you can request a copy

Thanks Tilly, Good site.. I am aware of the folk and the owner of that tree.. Her partner is a descendant of the Louis and Kate ..

[ScottM]

Hi Naomi, Great link.. Can the marriage cert come through this site or is it available through the GRO BDM ? It is a good site with great index ability ..
