Raphael Slapper 1911 Apr-May-Jun Mile End Old Town London, Middlesex

Salome Slapper 1891 Oct-Nov-Dec Chipping Sodbury Gloucestershire

I wonder if Abram Snr is Polish as they were well known for being Tailors. In the 1891 census there are a lot of Abrams with slightly different surnames from Poland

Tina, were you aware there were so many Slappers in Bristol ?!

SS you searched BT.com not every slapper is with BT.

Well, most of the slappers in Bristol are usually down City Road - the red light district LOL

The 1910 marriage reads: Slapper Salome (Ritter)

LD it says Germany so.... it's possible his parents were Polish.

And Tina, I know lol...I was actually surprised to find any in the phonebook lol. I bet they get all kinds of crank calls.

Tina, I have just remembered a phrase we used to use when I was younger " Corr she's got a nice pair of Ashton Gates" ...... let you work that out !
I digress

I found Abraham on the 1891, he's on page 2 of this thread

I'm thinking that they might be on the 1891 census if Salome was registered in 1891

I think Salome Slapper should be made the matron of GR !
