Find Ancestors

I hope someone can help me with Isaac he was born in Poland in 1842 I believe he became a naturalised British citizen some time between between1871 and 1891. He lived his life in London owning a drapers shop there. On all census forms his wife was Julia but I can find no marriage record. He died 1905 at Woolwich. I have his descendants up to the present day. His first of 5 children Hilda was born 1873. How will I find Isaacs past?

On the image of the 1881 census, Julia's age is clearly recorded as 24 years.

On the 1891 she is recorded as 35 years old.

So she is and consistent on the later ones, drat lol

Doesn't help but in case you haven't seen it.

On the probate record for Isaac 1905 it gives probate to Julia Morris spinster, which may suggest they did not marry?

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

There certainly doesn't seem to be any record of a marriage.

1911 gives her a different YOB - more consistent with her death record:


Julia Gabriel
in the 1911 England Census
Name: Julia Gabriel
Age in 1911: 57
Estimated birth year: abt 1854
Relation to Head: Head
Gender: Female
Birth Place: London, United Kingdom
Civil Parish: Woolwich
County/Island: London
Country: England
Street address: 62 Hare Street, Woolwich

Registration District Number: 30
Sub-registration district: Woolwich
ED, institution, or vessel: 19

So she's likely one of these:

Births Dec 1853 (>99%)
MORRIS Julia Marylebone 1a 345
MORRIS Julia E London 1c 4


Doesn't help with the marriage question, though.

Julia Gabriel's probate is also listed 1916, probate to Alfred and Gabriel Gabriel Tailors.

Thanks to everyone for so kindly sending me this info. I had loosely connected Isaac with Sophia Morris as that was one of two marriages around the time I would expect Isaac to have been married. Is there any way I can find out about Isaac before he was Naturalised and before he left Poland.

I am so grateful for everyone giving up their time to help mec

Kind Regards Marjorie.

I don't see him in the UK before the 1871 census - unless when he became naturalised he changed his surname, perhaps from something harder to spell or pronounce, or more obviously foreign.


Some advice on research into Polish genealogy here:

(in case 1871 Family related to him, but not a lot for Morris either!)
