Dear Jill,
It would be great to get a copy of the family tree. Great to read about your research.
I am trying to trace my grandmother’s family tree. Particularly because I have been told they are Jewish, although non observant and I believe they kept this hidden for concerns of predjudice.etc. I am very keen to establish my Jewish heritage and to find out where the family originated before Manchester,
So far I know the following:
My grandmother born Dec 1892 in Prestwich, Emily Tozer Mckay and married Joseph Philip Ellis, Manchester area around 1910,( don’t have those details with me) Emily had a brother and sister.
Emily’s mother was Emily Tozer born in Manchester March 1868 and, I think, died Prestwich March 1912. Emily Tozer married John McKay in Salford June 1889.
Emily Tozer born 1868 seems to have had twin brothers born 1866, Charles W and Robert, but he died March 1867.
I am especially keen if someone can confirm that the Tozers were Jewish and the maiden name of Emily Tozer’s mother. Particularly as I am trying to establish where they came from in Europe before Manchester.
Please email me . Thank you very much.
Best regards
Emily
