Seek and you will find. Marriage record transcription for Isaac Myers and Rachel Jacobs. Not as much info as I'd hoped but Isaac father's name listed as Meir Myers... https://synagoguescribes.com/blog/person-details/?value=9114

This one is unusual (3 occurrences in Stoke) but I think quite cool - Hamlet Boon. I can imagine it being the name of 1930s private investigator.

He doesn't appear to be. His father was from Droitwich, whilst the founder of Pimms was from Oxfordshire. This old thread may be of interest to you... https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/threads/pimms-icknield-port-road.44658/

One day maybe a descendant will discover the truth...that you are who you always thought were. :) With interesting ancestors from the length and breadth (I think more breadth than length) of the country.

Does the truth outweigh the heartache? I'm sure most people don't expect to find out anything like that but as we see some do. If it's about ancestors we never met - great grandparents for some people - it just adds interest to your family history but about people you know/knew it's a different...

Stepping back to Maurice Myers (Henry's brother). There are many adverts in the newspapers for tobacco products from Maurice, 109 Dale End. Interestingly there is also the granting of a Billiard License to him in 1860. Not sure where he is in 1851 as his wife and son are in Chertsey with her...

From what's available online I can't go any further back than Isaac. I think I mentioned previously that there is a tree on familysearch that suggests that Isaac & Rachel married in 1822 at Hambro Synague London. What info that record may contain I don't know, though the tree doesn't list any...

Yes, that's right. Unfortunately, court 3 has gone by 1950 when there are maps with house numbers.

Court 5 is 2 above the highlighted court. Here is the left-hand map with court 3 underlined, Saying which houses were no. 1 and 2 would be a bit of a guess...

Yes, the Isaac Myers who died in 1848 is the grandfather of Isaac Myers (just mentioned) and Charles Moss Myers.

This is a little bit about Isaac Myers b1850, the eldest son of Maurice Myers and Elizabeth Abrahams, both the cousin and second cousin of Charles Moss Myers. Following his father in the tobacco trade in 1881 he is listed as an Importer of Tobacco and in 1901 as Retired Cigar Merchant. It may...

I think she is your Catherine, Peter's mother. There could be a number of reasons why he did not give an address - not to bring shame on his family, a temporary split from his wife.

Definitely, she is listed as such on the 1921 census with William & George,

Hubert, William and Leo are in an orphanage in Liverpool in 1939. Sadie/Sarah is in Bham at the Cox St West address with a John McHale. He remains there into the 1960s.

George may be an elder brother, reg. Sep 1920 Warrington.

They probably couldn't read or write so how their name was recorded would have been down to the official.

There is also a baptism for another brother - Joseph Patrick - 1871 Dublin parents listed as Joseph McKenna and Catherine Gourbin. Again not exact but close enough to be likely. A Joseph of about the right age is with Peter in 1891.

When Peter's other siblings Theresa and James marry their father is also listed as Joseph. On Peter's birth reg. his mmn is listed as Gamben and there is a birth reg. in Dublin for a McKenna daughter (no name) with parents Joseph McKenna and Catherine Gamben which is likely to be Theresa's...

It's correct on freebmd. The presence of the Masters nephew with them in 1921 almost certainly confirms the marriage.
