Sidney Frederick Abrams

[Flattybasher9]

This one has turned really weird. When I first started, I found 5 births circa 1900, one of them being found in Wiltshire dated for 1902. The month date of that one has changed and the middle name has gone.
1952, Sidney F. Abrams marries a Boddy or Rowe at Paddington.
Then I find in the London phone book 1953 through to 1967, Sidney F Abrams, 13 Fairfield Drive, Perivale, London.
Sidney Cantham Adams left Durban, South Africa and arrived at Southampton 7th January 1955.
London Solicitors advertisement for Sidney Cantham Adams to contact them in 1968.
Loads of strange dead ends on this one.

Hi everybody,

Here's an update on what I have found out.  Sidney Frederick (now calling himself Sidney Canham Abrams) died in 1991 in Melksham, Wilts.   It seems, therefore, that there was a Wiltshire connection.   At Monica's suggestion I contacted a Zambian (former S.Rhodesia) site because had Anita told me that her parents had died in 1947 and were buried in Bulawayo.   I scoured lists of burials  in 33 cemeteries but couldn't find them.   However, I have been contacted by a lady who feels that  she and Anita may be related and who has suggested that Anita's mother was born in Taung.   Anita's granddaughter will be following all this up when next she comes to visit.

Bruce Walter Abrams was born in 1932.

Many thanks to you all for your efforts.

I am the sister of Sidney Frederick Abrams.I should like to thank you for the information you have given me.One point I found very confusing is the name Sidney Cantham as my mothers name has been wrongly spelt and of course Adams was not his correct surname.He would surely have had to produce correct identification although 1955 would have been around about the time he left South Africa.Thanks again for all your trouble.Regards
