REBECCA MAZORKOFF

Sandra,
Thanks for additional info. 
Yes I agree it is them and that it could have been a "pet name".  By "brickwall" I meant it takes time to find info outside the UK and sometimes nothing turns up due to names being transcribed wrongly.  I have a "Boaler" in the UK who was transcribed as "Boular". Found it with wildcards.

Thanks again for all your help.

gaffy,
Thanks for all that info and they are mine.  As regards Rebecca and date of Birth I have UK documents  with 1901 and 1902.  She was probally born 31/12/1901 and registered in January 1902.  Marcus is correct and he was born in Prestwich.

Thanks for your time.

Steve,

I'll assume you have a copy of their marriage.

They were probably members of the Kiever Synagogue in the Kensington Market area between Bathurst and Spadina.  It was the Russian Synagogue and not that far from where they lived. And given their trade they likely worked in the Clothing District a few blocks away.  If you can't find anything in the Toronto Star archives I would suggest you contact the Ontario Jewish Archives ojainquiries@ujafed.org

Hi Steve,

Rebecca is my wife's grandmother (and Marcus is her grandfather).  The information on this thread is accurate.  Rebecca's parents I have traced back to Joseph Mazerkoff and Rachel (nee Cutner).

Hi Smoose,
That is very interesting.  My g.father Lazarus Goldstein married in Liverpool, a daughter of Joseph, Leah Mazorkoff and they went to the USA where they  eventually divorced and she remarried and she divorced again and remarried.
I have about four pages in book form on  my computer with a lot of info through the years and generations.
I would love to exchange info and find out more info if you consent.  I can send you the four pages I have written if you send me your e-mail address by "PM".
