Hi Mary,

Fax the London Beth Din, marking your fax for the attention of Charles
Tucker archivist and giving the details you have given us. Their number is
+44 208 343 6257 expect to pay about £16 unless you have other things to add
to the order. You probably won't get mush more than the Hebrew names (which
will include the father's first name) the date and place and the fact that
the parties were not related to each other. You should also get information
as to who proved their *validity* to marry and the details of the groom's
brothers. You MIGHT get a *native of* section too. You won't get the
mothers' names for sure and unless they were using two names at the time you
won't get a change of name.

Mail me off-list if you have difficulties and I will try to help (although
my fax machine blew up last night-I may have a way round it).
BTW Good luck in SOO2 I hope you maroons blow them blues away-Dad's army or
not :-)
Best wishes,
Sherry Landa Joint List *Owner*

I'd like to know any extra details such as actual place of birth and names
of parents, or even original name, as it was posiblely changed to SAMUEL.
