Hi Kathy,
I am the Hari Eades you are looking for. Long story but my surname has undergone a couple of changes through the years. My mother is [Moderator edit: name removed to protect personal privacy] and she still lives in Taranaki.

I've messaged someone whom I think is related to Gloria and Marlene in the hope that they are in fact cousins to Leila. Information is scant regards Louis Leader his wife Mary (Lipman) and daughter Leila, there is a bit out there regarding other Leaders... ie: an Abraham Leader who married a Fanny Lipman... so I'm leaning toward Abraham being a brother to Louis and Fanny being a sister to Mary. Hoping that contacting the Abraham branch will shed light on Louis and his elusive clan.

My Aunt was born Nicolette Leader and Louis was her biological father. My grandmother, Nicolette's mother was not married to Louis and their relationship ended shortly after her birth. Louis acknowledged my aunt as his but she was shortly afterward adopted. This was when contacted petered out and she grew up not knowing much at all about that side of her family. Now all these years later she is very keen to find out just what happened to Louis and his child/ children.

Thanks for the advice... I'll do that but I'm try to zero in on Louis' daughter Leila... she is the direct link (half sister) that my aunt has been searching for. If I can find her, or her children, then hopefully all of the rest of the family line will fall into place. Its frustrating that apart from the SA passenger list I cannot seem to pick up her trail.

Wait so I think Rachel Leader (Lipman) has a sister Fanny (Lipman) who it appears married a Abraham Leader so maybe its a case of two brothers marrying two sisters?? Confused much :)

Ive just found a link to both sisters (Gloria Black & Marlene Livingston) but they give the mother as Rachel Bloom (born Leader), possible she remarried after death of first husband. But gives grandfathers name as Abraham Leader... so maybe they are not connected, directly at least.

Thank you so much... a lot of information to process :) . I have Louis Leader (jr) 1814-1997 being the son of Rachel Leader nee: Lipman. But perhaps he also had a sister named Rachel (Landsman), the birth-date fits as she is a couple of years older than Louis. also your theory about why they would travel as a group to SA makes sense (will have to try and confirm). Still no trace of Leila Leader though, I've been searching grave and death notices for the Manchester area and can find no trace. Perhaps she is still alive and the reports of her passing were unfounded. The hunt goes on... really appreciate the effort you have gone too to help suzard.

Hari.

Hi,

I think these are the correct family but I'm not sure why they are returning to UK from SA in 1947. I know Louis was born and lived in Manchester but have know idea why he then left the country... perhaps it was just a vacation?? Maybe that is why they are grouped together with other families. I had heard a rumor that Louis Leaders daughter had died... but the only child I can find - 'Leila' - appears to be still alive, though I can find no confirmation for this.
