Europe / Re: Russia to Liverpool 1890's

Thanks also to Little Nell,
I hadn't realised the significance of the letters "b" and "v".
I have no idea whereabouts they came from in Russia or Poland. I say Russia only because of the usual handed down family stories that may have been distorted over the years, there are now no living relatives to ask. At least the 1901 census does confirm Eva as a Russian subject. I have noticed some entries say "Polish, Russian Subject".
Thanks for your help. I'll let you know. ;)

Hi Bob,
As Little Nell has already said I too am very impressed with your random thoughts. So much so that you might have hit the nail on the head !.
I'll tell you what I have on Isaac and Eva. Eva is shown on the 1901 census as aged 26 Russian Subject head of the house hold and married with 2 sons aged 1 and 2 both born in Liverpool. No mention of Isaac.
All I know about Isaac is from his sons later marriage certificate in 1919..... Father Isaac Robinson, deceased CABINET MAKER !. For some reason Eva's maiden name is shown as Robinson.( just to make life difficult for me!) ;)
I'll be off to the record office as soon as I can. I've been searching for Isaac off and on for a couple of years now and I am of course hoping this may be him

Thanks Julie for that idea, I did look here a few years ago but the site now seems to be much better than I remember. I'll start digging again.

 ??? Any suggestions on my Jewish gt grandparents original names before changing to Isaac and Eva Robinson when coming to Liverpool from Russia sometime in the 1890's?
