With regard to the Jewish connection. Yes my great grandmother went to America and married a German Jew......the family tell me. i.e. Margaret Harrison wed Lewis/Louis Schwartzman they had a son William Lewis who married Clara Shuckurman (not sure now re maiden name). Clara was born in Pennsylvania. They had two chn. Charles N and Anna.

But you could be right it is the wrong Clara. Looking back at all the info on here which the guys have helped with. There are two Clara Schuckurman and one did marry a Wolf Schwartzman in Manhattan 10th Jan1920.

Thanks again for your interest and please keep in touch. There has got to be a coinnection if the name is the same. I'll see if I can send for the original social security reg. Don't know if I can do this outside of USA tho as I live in Cyprus.

Again re. Jewish connection. I often thought my English family were Jewish but have not practised it. This is only my thought however not ever mentioned by the family. My Grandfathers name is Samuel Strugnall is Strugnall a Jewish name I've often wondered.

Thank you so much for replying to me and supplying so much information. I really apopreciate it. I have been trying for many years to find my Great Grandmother.

If this is the correct Clara we will be related through marriage to Willie but my direct descent is through William/Willie who was my great grandmother's grandson.

 She was Margaret Harrison and her husband was Louis Schwartzman. There  was a son William L  which is the Uncle Willie you mention I don't know about the 'Wolf' name as I'd presumed he'd been named William after Margarets father William Harrison.

Also I have only traced two chn. of Wiilie and Clara's.....Charles N and Anna ....no Gladys.

Do you know if any of the children were married and also did they have any children?

Margaret Harrison's daughter Eleanor, who she had illegitamate, was my grandmother whom I adored I do have a photograph of Eleanor but sadly not Margaret.

Thank you again for making contact. Regards Wynn

So am I right in thinking that Clara's maiden name was NOT Schukerman as first thought?

I'm now going to look up Morris County. I would love to see where they lived. There may be some old photographs somewhere.

Just looking at all the info. If William L was married to Clara in 1910 census and his birthdate is 1896/1895 ....was this possible to be married so young at this time?

Thanks for your interest guys. This is what and how I know.

 My Grandmother, Eleanor West Harrison was Margarets illiegitimate child born 1880, Wingate, Co. Durham (info birth cert obtained) She (Eleanor) stayed in England and was brought up by grandparents (William and Mary) and married my Grandfather hence me!

Family stories from my Mother: Great Grandmother went to America and married a German Jew.
Plus info from my  Mother : my (Eleanor) Grandmother's father was a butcher.

Now it seems strange to me that according to the 1900 census Lewis Schwartzman was a butcher (info from shelleyesq)

Could family memories be crossed here. I doubt it was possible for Margaret to visit America  become pregnant by Lewis leave Eleanor in England then return to America and marry Lewis/ Louis. Today maybe but I doubt it would happen in the 1800's. Any thoughts?

The Scottish 'thing' : Maybe the family were living in Scotland when Margaret was born. I've been trying to find the family (William and Mary Ann) on the 1861 census but had no luck so far.

I'm sure this is Margaret married to Louis tho !!! Yippee!!

Wow I am shaking with excitement!!! It sounds possible but don't know why she states Scotland as birth place but it may be possible tho none of the other siblings say they were born in Scotland. This is fantastic news!!

Thank you all sooooo much wish I'd found you guys many years ago.

Big hug Wynn

ps I'll keep you posted.

I have only been able to find a Margaret Harrison age 23 on a passenger list. The date is June 1891 and the ship arrived in New York. So  not sure whether this is her. Her parents were William Harrison 1835 and Mary Ann Blades 1832 but they didn't emigrate with her she went on her own......maybe with  friend not sure.

Hope you can help. I've been searching 'forever' with this one.
