SHEILA Dobson, of Leeds, is looking for information on her late grandmother Leah Galinsky.

“She died very young so I never met her,” Sheila said. “She also married outside the faith so none of her surviving family who I knew had any contact with her family.”

Leah, who lived in Leeds, died in the early-1940s. Her married name was Ashton.
