Just emailed him...fingers crossed!!

Also wondered if anyone had time to re-look at my theory regarding the 2 brothers

Maurice Arthur Kausman,yob-1904 london
Harry Gordon Kausman dob - 1910 23rd mar Shepherds Bush

(These are my grandfather and his brother)


and the fact that i have got death and marriage for both but can't find birth records for either...

yet i CAN find a

Maurice Abraham Kausman 1904 London and a
Hyman Harry Kausman 1910 London

i was wondering if these are the same people with name changes.

so basically i wondered if anyone could find any info on M Abraham/Hyman Harry...as i can't fnd any deaths/marriages for them...which would also support my theory that they are the same people.

I have ordered their birth certs to check out their exact d.o.b's to see if they match.(I have death certs for my two)

Thanks in advance!

Just been reading this amazing detective story - can't wait for the next episode.........

It would make sense if they changed their christian names to something less German, it was very close to the 1914/18 war - after all the Royals did it, so why shouldn't others. I see one of them has Abraham, which is more Jewish than German, and even more cause for him to change his name at that time, and later. The English weren't always that nice to Jews either - think of Shakespear and Dickens.
I'll be tuning in for the next episode

Eileen
birth name

does anyone know my full sister
birth name Jennifer Ann M...........or H..........
date of birth 22nd September 1945 our mother Muriel Ethel M.........nee H.......... lived in Bisley and we were both born in Woking Maternity Hospital.
Adopted to different 'families' looking for her for over 40 years. Both my Christian names were changed so probably hers were too.
afterthought
Is Hymans possibly a version of James - in Scots Hamish is James....................

Hi Eileen, thanks for reading!

The annoying thing is, there is a guy registered with a tree on here and he has the two other Kausmans on his tree, plus their father Woolfe, and he has listed his birthplace as Poland.. so maybe if these people are MY people then we originate from Polish Jews!

Have mailed him 3 times now, but he hasn't replied! Its annoying because he may have all the answers ive been looking for!!

Will just have to wait for their birth certs to arrive so cross reference the birth dates!

There is a Chris Kausman on Facebook ............!!!

Google 'Chris Kausman' and something comes up about the 'road to goa - photos' and there is a photo of Chris Kausman in the 60s/70s!!!

Nicki

Hi Nicki, yes i have facebooked the one on there but no reply, he only has 2 friends so i guessing he isn't a regular user.

I too found the Road to Goa last night!! how spooky! shame u can't see the pic very clearly! Have mailed the website contact on there too!

Thanks!

Hopefully the net is closing in!!!

Only 2 friends ...............!!

If Pernille does not reply to you there is one her mates who has Pernille as a friend - so you could always go down that route!!

I'd have phoned Thailand by now as I am very impatient.

Nicki

lol, didn't think about phoning!!

Yes i was just thinking about mailing the Lise Thorne on her FB, maybe its her sister?

Gonna do that now..still no news from either of them!

Did have one bit of luck today!
Maurice Kausman, My dads uncle (Christophers dad who died recently) was awarded an OBE for involvement on the Fisheries board, protecting the river Ouse, i have recieved information from a fishing website! I have been sent the address of someone (from Downing St!!! who was his friend and colleague!) Apparently if i write to him, he may be able to give me some information) Also it turns out he knew John Major!!! (On a personal level!) So thats all intriguing!

The thick plottens..as they say ;-)

Wow - all very exciting!!

Nicki

Lisa

Nudged for Lisa if anyone is able to help.

Nicki

Hello again lisa.

I searched the years that you gave and could not find a marriage for christopher.
I hope something comes from the latest info that you have received.

richard.

Thankyou Richard, appreciate your time,

Lisa

Hello again!
Back from my hols, and back on the trail!!!

Meeting with my Grandmothers friend was amazing and thankfully solved a few riddles!

Hyman Harry Kausman WAS my Grandfather!!

They found a screwed up half a birth cert with Hyman Harrys name just showing on the corner!!! They had no idea about it so were relieved also when i explained about the name changes!

I ordered his full birth cert and his father was Woolfe Kausman!! So thanks to everyone for their input regarding this matter!

Looks like the whole family changed their names!

Returned home to a few certificates!! and Maurice Abraham is also my Maurice Arthur!

Also received a marriage cert for Woolfe, he married a Simmy Solomon on 13 Sep 1903.

My next quest is to establish where they came from and wondered if anyone could help (again please!!)

Does anyone have access to Polish records?

According to a Brian Hills who has a family tree with this whole family on, he states:

Woolfe (or Woolf, as he has added him,)
was born in Lodz, Poland in 1885..

Would it be poss to try and find a record of this???
and is there any way of finding out his whereabouts between 1885 and his marriage in 1903, in Bishopsgate London.

Woolfes Fathers name was Abraham Kausman.

Any help much appreciated!

Hope everyone is well!
