Greenberg jewelers

[Pete Elliott]

Hi all, I’m researching my grandfather William Charles Edward Elliott, and on the 1921 census he was working at Greenberg jewellers 126 Gt, Hampton Street . I was wondering if anyone has connection to Greenberg and maybe photos and information please

The earliest mention of IS Greenberg that I can find is 1894, and at 125/126 Great Hampton St. The firm was still in existence after December 1936, however by Oct 1944 many properties,including 125/126, were up for sale.

In 1943 the was a death of a Mr Louis Greenhill (formerly Montefiore Solomon Greenberg) of 6, Farquhar Road, Edgbaston and also 125/126 Great Hampton St.
