My 3x great grandparents immigrated to London from Europe sometime in the mid 1800’s. Whilst I’ve managed to research a lot from my great grandfather’s side, I’ve hit a massive brick wall for my great grandmother.
I know she was called Yetta Cohen and, according to census records, was born in Exin, Grand Duchy of Posen, Prussia in 1838. When she came to England, she occasionally went by the more anglicised name ‘Jane Pollock’.
On her marriage certificate (they married at the Great Synagogue in 1868) she lists her father as Samuel Cohen, deceased.
I’ve searched through so many records, searched all through JewishGen, tried newspaper articles, but I can’t find any records of Yetta prior to her living in London, or any records of her father.
Is anyone able to recommend any other ways of possibly researching ancestors in the 19th century?
