Thanks, Jen.

FindMyPast lists a 14-year-old Hannah Schiff living with Louis and fanny in '61. Is that a mistake?

Yes - the actual name, as far as I can read it, is Honorah Cashman aged 19

Hi Jen B ,     Is the photo attached to your message a Schiff? My husbands maternal grandmother was Estella van Lier (nee Schiff) daughter of Abraham  and Caroline (nee Van Mentz)who was the son of Saling and Katherine (nee Mosely) Does anyone know of  any photos of this family? I am researching our Schiff branch of the family for our grandchildren. Kind regards Jennifer

-Mary b.1864
-Elizabeth b.1866
-William b.1868
-Emil b.1871
-Martha b.1873
-Clara b.1876
-Mathilde b.1879
-Ellen b.1882
-Elmer b.1884

Hope this helps you

Hello

Thank you very much for trying to help. However, please note that you have the incorrect Louis Schiff.  Saling's brother Louis was still living in 15 Langham Street, London W1 in 1871 and he passed away in Forest Hill in London on the 5 November 1875. He was married to Fanny and as far as I am aware they did not have any children.

Best wishes
