Grave visitor

SUZANNE Vincent visited her grandfather Sidney (Shlomo) Harris' grave at Gildersome Cemetery in Leeds and noticed a number of stones on it.

"As far as I am aware, there are no other descendants apart from me and my sister after the death of our father, Alan, last year," Jeffery said.

She would like to discover if there are other relatives who visited the grave.

Sidney was born in 1900 and died in 1935. His wife, Dora, then returned to Manchester with Alan.

Half-brother search

VERA Young is looking for information on her half-brother, David Adolphus Birnbaum, who was born in Leeds on March 15, 1940.

His parents were Leo Birnbaum and Ella/Elizabeth Stein.

Leo was in the 1st Czech Brigade during the Second World War.

At the end of the war, the family returned to Prague where David's parents divorced.

Find friends

LIVERPOOL-born Sidney Bradley has been living in Detroit for more than 60 years.
