Research Notes

Her mother's maiden name was Vass according to the GRO Birth Registration.

The couple had seven children, of whom one had died?

The 1911 England and Wales Census details in FS are inaccurate. Here is a list of the residents:

Hilda Isaacs, Daughter, 13
Frank Isaacs, Son, 10
Edith Isaacs, Daughter, 8
Ellen Isaacs, Daughter, 7

I have changed the death details in this profile. Originally Ellen Isaacs was recorded as passing away in Bournemouth in 1938. However, the 1939 Register shows her alive and kicking in Portsmouth where she eventually passed away in 1947.Purchase-461 10:18, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
