UK request for help - Charles MYERS

[Michael Hammerson]

Thanks for the clippings, Alan (reply 52). But that could throw an unexpected element into the proceedings. If Mr. S. Myers was the brother-in-law of the late Mr. Woolf Cohen, that rather suggests that Cohen was married to Myers' sister; and I don't recall seeing any reference to a sister - only four brothers? Curious.

Just been searching any Cohen / Myers links in NZ papers of that period, with quite a few hits. I'm now presuming they are common surnames within Jewish brotherhoods. Often it is found that new arrivals from the 60's on were following other relatives, or villagers who were already settled in NZ.

True, though the trail does seem to suggest we have the right family - but caution is clearly necessary. The determining factor, certainly, is going to be where Charles, Ellen and their growing family were living in the 1860s-70s-80s.

Morning.

A TROVE search 1915 – 1925, for Finnis Street in South Australia’s papers found 230 hits, but nothing new that caught my eye other than confirming Sam’s address as 114 Finnis Street.

Fascinating for me though was learning of all the cars registered to addresses on Finnis Street. Sam apparently owned a 18.3 Nash. Was hoping I might have found a Mrs Ellen [Woolf] COHEN, associated with either 40 or 114 Finnis Street.

Exellent find TPB! 

That information certainly joins some of the dots and explains why perhaps she was not mentioned in the death notices of her parents?
