She did remarry (Stuart) but married out of faith, Louis was a Jew and in 1901 was living with his grandmother and not his mother. But I will check it out thanks Dee

Could you give details of the 1901 census with grandmother, thank-you?

1901 census
Lucy Cohen 56 Widow ( Louis Harris's Gran)
E Cohen 22 Daug
B Cohen 20 Daug
B Cohen 18 Son
Louis Harris 6 Nephew

We can find nothing about Lucy having a nephew, surname of Harris. Her daughter had a son of that name so we presume that he is her grandson

A tree on Ancestry with Amelia marrying walter in Wombwell 3.12.1898 she died in Leeds 1939.
The tree has 2 photos of her and photos of her children she had with stuart.

It says she was a talented pianist and taught music and played in many theatres and Cinemas.

Marlene Report 7 Apr 2010 15:34

Sorry Dee I missed your message it was on another page. All I know is that he was born 1894 after his father had died, we have not been able to find anything else since 1901 census. Marlene

If you cannot find the death, several possibilities:
went abroad, or just no longer Leeds area, changed name, mistake on death certificate re age, .........
Have you tried under both Louis and Phillip, and birth 1894+/-? Are you sure he married, or just an assumption?
Have we still not got anyone in 1911? If not, he could have died before then?

Hi Patricia we only have birth and 1901 census after that there is nothing. He was my grans half brother and she never mentioned him as far as we know. Not seen 1911 census yet. Thanks for your help. Marlene
