| There is an interesting website on the Jewish Community of Grimsby produced by J Berman. I have gone through some of the community records including minutes from various Shul committee meetings and other town records and found a couple of references to Simon and also Morris Bloom. I also found the location of their home in Grimsby. For the home page click here I believe they lived at 113 Nelson St based on the following extract I found on the Gimsby website : Hawking Without a License Grimsby News - April 9, 1887 Morris Bloom, a Hebrew music vendor, 18 years old, living at 113 Nelson St was charged with hawking without a license. The P.C. saw defendant enter a shop and offer music for sale. Defendant made a rambling statement as to his mode of earning a living and admitted attending markets and selling music. The Lady had ordered the music and he was only completing the order. Dismissed on payment of 2/6 costs. _______________________________________________________ In addition there is reference to S.Bloom as being the Gabbi or Chairman of the Chevre Kadish in 1896 - you can read about it by clicking here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found a marriage record which must be connected to our family : Marriage Date 11 Dec 1895 - Groom Surname is Shenker, First Name is Ruben, Groom age is 23, Groom Condition is B, Groom Rank or Profession is Furniture Dealer, Groom Address 131 Victor St Great Grimsby, Bride Given Name is Minnie, Bride Surname is Bloom, Bride Age is 18, Bride Condition is S, Bride Address is 113 Nelson St Great Grimsby, Brides Father Given Names is Simon, Brides Father Surname is Bloom, Given Name Witness is Moses, Surname Witness Abrahams, Officiant Surname is Goldsmid Minister. |
