Hi everyone,
Just an update here - I was at a large family party at the weekend and managed to speak to a lot of elderly relatives, some of whom even remembered the elusive Barnett.
They basically told me "you'll never find him" - Barnett (or Barney) used at least 3 surnames - he probably did not marry under the name Shapiro. He apparently used to set up gambling dens for the East London underworld in the 40's and 50's. I asked if I should actually be searching proson records and was told if he went to prison it was probably under another 'name'.
I am interested in the Abrahams marriage though - this could be one of his aliases.
Thanks to all of you for all your help
Judith
