Just for interest -- I identified a grandson of the young child of a victim (he is a GR member but has not opened the PM I sent), and he has been found on the Electoral Roll and the info is being forwarded to Anna.

EvieBeavie Report 16 Mar 2009 00:51

Signing off for the night now too.

Just wanted to offer the message I am currently sending to possible matches:

_________________________________________________________________

I am writing to you because _____ in your tree
- was a victim of the WW2 Bethnal Green Tube Disaster which happened on 3 March 1943
OR
- appears to be a family member of ___ who was a victim of the WW2 Bethnal Green Tube Disaster which happened on 3 March 1943.

There is an effort underway by the organizers of a new memorial to the victims to contact living relatives of people who died in the 1943 Bethnal Green Tube Disaster.

Details are at the website below:

http://www.stairwaytoheavenmemorial.org/

_____ is among the people for whom there is no family known to the memorial organizers.

His/her entry under Civilian War Dead can be found at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site
www.CWGC.org
[I include a direct link]

[Where the match is not with the vicim him/herself:]
As one of the group here at GR working to find family members, I researched the family to identify relations of ___, and then searched trees for their names to find possible family members.

The discussion here at GenesReunited is in this thread on the discussion boards:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1134367

If you have a paid subscription to GenesReunited you can post in that thread and we would all be very pleased to hear from you. You can also click on the name "Bethnal Green Tube Disaster" on a post on page 10 of the thread, for example, and send a message to GR member Victoria, who will open the BGTD1943 tree for you to view.

If you do not have a paid subscription, you can reply to this message from me and I will request that Victoria send you a message opening the tree to you.

If you like, if you are a family member of ___, we can then pass on your details to the memorial organizer, Anna, so that the Trust can contact you about the project -- or, if you prefer, you can simply contact her directly at

[email address]

As far as I can tell we aren't looking for Maurice/Morris Lazarus -- Victoria was just wondering whether a connection to Isabella Lazarus TRICE could be found via him.

Quoy has found a tree match for Isabella it seems.

-- Actually, there are 6 matches for Isabella Lazarus 1904 (she isn't showing up in the BGTD tree yet).

QUOY -- You contacted them all?

Re Trice-Lazarus

Isabella's household in 1911:

LAZARUS EDITH F 1908 3 Mile End Old Town London
LAZARUS EILEEN F 1910 11 MONTHS Mile End Old Town London
LAZARUS FLORENCE F 1883 28 Mile End Old Town London

LAZARUS THOMAS M 1906 5 Mile End Old Town London
LAZARUS WINIFRED F 1902 9 Mile End Old Town London


No Maurice.

Maurice is MORRIS at CWGC.

Morris Lazarus in 1911:

LAZARUS MORRIS M 1900 11 Bethnal Green London

However, there are 4 other Morris Lazarus-s in Bethnal Green, so I can't sort 'em.

... Hmm, he must be on the list with known family?
