Birmingham connections (1901-1940) jacob winter part 5

LEWIS PUTZMAN (Naturalisation 1909)
JACOB WINTER TOOK PREMISES FROM HIM IN JUNE 1908

Annie - Lewis Putzman’s wife was from Kleczew like the Caro family and many of their children were born there.
I think Jacob Winter and the Putzman family knew each other well.
June 1908 Winter Jacob, Tailor moved from 87 Latimer Street to take over the Putsman premises at 51 Vere Street.
I think the link was the Maiers Winter family and the Woolf family. Charles, Lewis’s son marrying a Wolfe as had Maiers Winter.
Harry Putzman another son of Lewis lived at 137 St. Lukes Road- a house that connects Caro and Maiers Winter.

Also premises at 15 Hill Street next door to Jacob Marks (whose place of abode was 218 Pershore Road)
