Israel Schwartz in 1901

[S.Brett]

Hello Jon,

No, I don´t have...

Look here (35 near Backchurch Lane):

Interestingly, I found this:

http://www.haimovitch.co.uk/haimovit...ip%20alley.htm

This family/couple, Morris and Esther Haimovitch (Esther born as a Moscovitch) lived in 1911 at 26 Prince's Square, Cable Street (look at the picture!).

It´s the same address by Israel Schwartz in 1911

Greetings.

Tracy posted Schwartz's census entries here:

According to a descendant he had a sweet shop in Cable Street and repaired watches. He was listed as a watchmaker at 35 Cable Street in the Post Office Directories between 1920 and 1929.

Here are a couple of bits of extra information on Israel's different addresses on different dates, from school registers,that may or may not be useful for someone:

Firstly this is for a Rose Schwatz, her year of birth and address show that this is probably Israel's oldest child, Dinah.


Name: Rose Schwatz
Age: 6
Birth Date: Nov 1884
School: Berner Street School
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Admission Date: 12 May 1891
Parent: Israel
Address 22 Samuel Street

While some children's entries say the child cannot speak English, Rose's does not, suggesting she may have been in the country a few years? It also says she had previously attended Infants school.

This is for Louis


Name: Louis Schwitz
Age: 4
Birth Date: 3 Mar 1892
School: Berner Street School
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Admission Date: 31 Aug 1896
Parent: Israel, tailor
Address 143 B C [Back church] Lane

This is for Daniel

Name: Daniel Schwartz
Age: 5
Birth Date: 24 Jun 1895
School: Dempsey Street School
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Admission Date: 4 Mar 1901
Parent: Israel

Address 121 Jubilee street [I double checked and it definitely says 121 as opposed to 21 but may be in error]

Considering he was a tailor, Schwarz's description is disappointing. I thought we might have got "BS man - nice bit of material, shame about the lapels...." or "Pipeman - what a shoddy job....."
