The Jewish Standard Friday 14 November 1910

[Rob Clack]

I saw this in 'The Jewish Standard', Friday 12 November 1890. I don't know if it's been seen before. I've underlined the important name and I'll post the whole article in case it's important.

Hello Rob,

Excellent find! I have never seen this before either...anything about Kosminsky, especially from this date, should this be the same one as Aron, is brilliant. Again. Congrats!

best wishes

Thanks Phil, I believe Aaron used the name Aaron Abrahams as well and there is a A Abrahams near the bottom. Bu yeah, I think that is our Aaron Kosminski.

Hello Rob,

I noticed that...M. Hyams and Co, B.Hyams, Samual Hyam are listed too... and interesting to note that many paid in Guineas, 21s, or half of, or suchlike!

best wishes

Phil

edit* If this is our Kosminski... then he had money in 1890.. £1.1s to give away..interesting. No other family member is listed either.

Phil,

I'd like to know who the J Levy was.

Hello Rob,

If it is Joseph Hyam Levy, it wouldn't surprise me. He sponsored Martin Kosminski's naturalisation didn't he? Which led to speculation re the sighting of the man at Mitre Square visa vis Kosminski (Aron)

best wishes

Thanks for posting that interesting item. The same list appeared in the Jewish Chronicle of 14 November 1890.

Hi Phil,

I'm very dubious about the Martin Kosminski connection, but if that is Joseph Levy than it might show a connection between him and Aaron Kosminski, but until we know for sure it's just speculation.

Thanks Chris, shame they don't supply more details about the donors.

Thats a really intersting find Rob. I have been learning more about the etiquette of Synagogue attendence from a friend and did realise they are really quite different to churches.
I notice a J Barnet as well! No connection I know but still make me smile.

[Rob Clack]

I don't know that much about them Kate. Here is a photo of the entrance in Old Castle Street. The Synagogue itself was a building at the rear.

The "C. Lazarus" could be Charles Lazarus, Jospeh Hyam Levy's loan business partner after 1890.

Hello Rob. Great find. Did you notice another titillating name only 4 lines below his? Of course, the famous version died in 1889.

Cheers.

Another great find Rob.Seeing Aaron Kosminski"s name here----I too think its probably him-----and somehow it at last begins to give him a new identity ,one thats a bit different from the "loathsome creature" of TLYOMOL!

I believe there was also an Abram Kosminski whose death was registered in March 1893 in St George in the East. I have almost zero information on this person. Chris P might know more on this...

I am a bit hesitant to believe that Aaron would have donated a pound to the Synagogue fund, but who knows. Still, I dont think we can jump to the conclusion that this was Aaron quite yet.
