8. Caroline Newman listed here (nee Michols) b 23 Feb 1853 d Apr-Jun 1909.
   My Grandmother’s Grandmother. Married in the Jewish faith.
   I’m happy that she is here with members of her family, the Michols.

   • Do you know why the Michols family emigrated to England? For business purposes? And why several members of the family emigrated to Canada after Louis MIchols’ death in 1908?

10. Coincidentally I’ve logged here just a week later to update about the Michols family. My Grandmother’s Grandmother was Caroline, John Michols daughter. Emma and Bertha Michols as well as their four siblings, were full siblings, not half. I’ll message Christina on ancestry.com to clear that up (or to be corrected if I’ve compiled incorrect information of course.) I will log back on here to update the Michols information, am out of time tonight though. Thanks, Douglas

11. Louis Michols was my grandmother Nell (Eleanor) Michols’ father. After he died in 1908, his widow Mary Elizabeth (Sherrard) Michols and their children Marjorie, Nell (Eleanor), Emma and a younger brother all emigrated to Winnipeg, Canada. Nell married H.P.Matthews, my grandfather. As a young man he had also emigrated to Winnipeg. He was born in Birmingham but lived in Stoke on Trent and in London with his family as he was growing up. After their marriage, Nell and her husband lived in the SF Bay area. Her sisters and brother remained in Canada.
    John was Louis’ father. Emma was a younger half sister of Louis’ as was Bertha.

13. Hi there,
    The information on this page is great and I’m very appreciative of it. My paternal great, great parents – Sheina Bluma Solomon (died 1926) and Morris Solomon (died 1918 – stone consecrated 1919) are both buried here.
    I have emailed the Liverpool Council to see if i could get more information about the inscriptions on their grave stones and received a reply today saying the Council holds no records at all for Green Lane.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Also, I find it very upsetting that the cemetery is in the state it’s in, especially as I have relatives interred here. I live in New Zealand but was born in Liverpool. Thanks so much.
    Steve

      These records can be viewed in the Archives Search Room at Liverpool Central Library. Liverpool Records Office can be contacted at archives@liverpool.gov.uk
      I saw them myself in late 2018 or early 2019. I completed a small piece of research about the cemetery in 2019 supported by a series of photographs that had been taken. See here https://synagoguescribes.com/blog/green-lane-jewish-cemetery-liverpool-by-anne-mulcahy/

16. I live in this area and had no idea this was a Jewish cemetery before I found this page. Let me tell you all now, it’s in a terrible state. I’m pretty tall so can see over the bricked up gate space. All the stones seem to have been removed and it looks like a soul hasn’t stepped foot in there for decades. It’s completely overgrown. Awful. It should restored like the nearby once similarly abandoned Jewish cemetery in Kensington has been.

    • Thank you for your comments.
      If you have any photos we would be happy to post them.
      Perhaps a local group will get together to tidy up.
      It is always difficult for communities to decide on how best to spend any available funds, whether to help the living or to tidy up cemeteries, it is not a choice I would like to have to make. There is also the argument that these burial grounds should be places of rest and undisturbed which in turn is a benefit to wildlife, flora and fauna.

17. Also, Priscilla was Isaac Fineberg’s wife who died in 1865. I can only guess that Elias was Isaac’s brother – they were born just a year apart.

18. Isaac Fineberg was my Great Great Grandfather and from what I have found out he died in 1903. Harris Fineberg was his son who died in 1920. Both Isaac and Harris were involved in the Music Hall Business in Liverpool (The New Star Music Hall – now the Playhouse Theatre). Isaac had a daughter Isabella who married Solomon Cohen whose daughter, Priscilla was my Grandmother. Solomon and his father Jonas were also involved in the music hall business, namely the Constellation Music Hall, Whitechapel. I have yet to find out where Jonas and Solomon are buried.

    Thank you

    • I have recently spoken to the Jewish Historical Society branch in Liverpool on lost synagogues of the city, and don’t know of a shul in Vine Street. I think one of the two in Crown Street is meant here.

      Reply ↓

22. Adeline (Ada) Barnett nee Leon was my Great- Grandmother.
    According to the Schul records she died on 12th September 1915.
    Her husband was Frederick Barnett who was president of Hope Street Synagogue in 1896. She married him on 22nd April 1868

    I am interested in finding out where Frederick Barnett is buried. It could be in Salford Manchester but i rather think he would be near his wife in Liverpool.

26. I am interested in the Lowis Warner grave – no other info? Richard Warner married Lizzie Somers in Liverpool, and his first wife Elizabeth Benjamin had died perhaps a couple of years earlier, apparently childless after several years of marriage. The de Frece cousins of Lizzie Somers are in this graveyard. Is this definitely a Jewish grave?

49. Sprinza Gorfunkle (nee Ellenbogen) died 22 Apr 1925. She was the wife of Lazar Yankel (Lazarus Jacob) who died in 1928 (He appears in some censuses as Hargreaves G Gorfunkle).
    Peshke Gorfunkle was Lazar’s mother – I don’t know when she died.
    Louis was the son of Lazar – he was born in 1890.
    David Ellenbogen was the father of Sprinze – he died in 1898 (Sep, W Derby 8b 255). Rachel was his wife. Sellick (Selig) was their son.
    I have full deatils of all this family, if anyone is interested.

I have been investigating the family for a while now and would be very interested to know what other information you have.

    • Sellick Ellenbogen was my Maternal Grandfather—-he married my grandmother (Mathilda Haschman) in 1869 when he was 21 years of age and my grandmother was just 15—–he made his living as a Glazer in Everton (Priory Mount).
      I believe they had a total of 12 children my mother being the youngest (Gertrude)

      It is my understanding that Sellick and his younger brother Issac arrived as immigrants to England together.

      If you have anything else to add to this I would certainly appreciate having it!!

    • Simon,
      I would be interested in hearing if you – or any other Ellenbogen researcher, know what relationship Simon & Rachel had with Marks and Sarah Ellenbogen (born ~1834 and ~1844) – also from Rajgrod in Poland / Russia. Marks is equivalent to Mordechai and Markus. They also emigrated to Liverpool – later much of that family moved out to Rhodesia.
      Regards

      • My Mum was Marie Heilbron (died 2004, Sheffield) and her parents were George and Rachel Heilbron who lived at Ferndale Road, Liverpool.

        I am trying to put together a family tree but can’t find out much. Perhaps your friend Bill has some information?

        Many thanks

        • Hi, I think Bills

          father was a Theodore Heilbronn and mother Helen Black. Theodore was born in Liverpool and moved to Glasgow. Rest of the family remained in Liverpool.
          Theodores father was a Moses William and mother Sarah. They had quite a big family.

    • These de Frece family members are all related to Henry de Frece and his brothers, who were theatrical entrepreneurs in Liverpool, the de Frece Circuit of 20 music halls in London etc, father of Sir Walter and comedian Laurie and their showbiz wives.I think Eva de Jongh was also from that family. Esther de Frece was married to one of the brothers and they always spelled their name wrong (Frace, de Frace, Fries etc). The London de Fries chandalier makers were, I think, the same family with a variant spelling. All Dutch origin and mainly stationers, printers.

54. Deaths Jun 1857 Kisch Julia Liverpool 8b 165
    There was a Julia Kisch living with her brother, Simon, on 1851 census in Marylebone; 1841 daughter of Abraham & Isabella Kisch. Not clear but it looks was if Abraham was Secretary and Reader of Western Synagogue in Westminster St James
    Could the illegible name be Emrik or Gompers. It appears as if her death was registered under her maiden name.
    Marriages Mar 1852 (>99%)

    • Emrik Gompertz/Emrik Gompers
      Could this be something to do with the Gompertz of Emmerich family? At this minute I am pushed for time but I have a feeling that in researching Benjamin and Lewis (sons from I suspected the second family of Solomon Gompertz) I noticed an (elder?) sister, Julia. (Your blog is fantastic, esp. the Marques will)
