That leads to the following possible birth:-

which might be this one on the 1891 Census .. family having moved north to Lancashire

so might be a familial relationship, but not obvious


but they have changed to De Haas by 1911


Name Age
Louis De Haas 52 Commercial Traveller (for) Cigar Merchant
Florence De Haas 51
Stanley De Haas 21 Commercial Traveller, Stationery
Harriet De Haas 18 Apprentice Tailor
Annie De Haas 15 Student

YES

...... apparently Louis is one of the sons of Morris De Haas and Sophia Polack, so brother of Michael De Haas

Hi, all you very nice kind guys & gals,
Gee thanks for all that help & info. I'll collate and compare with what I've already got (or have not got!)
Next problems to solve please:
1) Just got death cert for Michael De Haas of 1 Vernon Square, Finsbury formerly 'General Dealer' (Cigars maybe?) who died Islington 5 Aug 1940 at Archway Hospital age 74 but informant was only given as 'A. A. De Haas 'Widow of deceased' of same address (See Chrissiex entry above on 9 Dec 2011) However I only have his marriage to wife as Hilda (Macmullen: see above replies etc) Q: Can anyone please find any possible (second?) marriage for Michael De Haas & A.A. ....? [seems 'Annie' as did find Electoral Register entries 1935/36/38/39 for Michael De Haas & Annie De Haas at 1 Vernon Place, London W.C.1] (NB: Michael Died of 'General Senility' so was there a muddle up!) Is A. A. De Haas/Annie De Haas just Hilda again, but A.A. bit specific, or would make sense if was A.H. or H.A. De Haas?) Alternative is this deceased Michael De Haas another man of same name? Died age 74 which makes birth 1866 although I had possible birth as 'Myer De Haas b 1866 Whitechapel, London but might be wrong on that birth (thought 'Myer' might be Dutch/Jewish for 'Michael' is that correct?)
2) Also: Hilda 'Haas' (not Annie) marries Archibald 'Archie' Walter Norman abt Nov 1948, also in Islington where Michael died, but can't find her UK death (NB: 'Archie' became naturalised US citizen on 8/2/1907 so they might have both gone back to USA after marriage and she might have died there? Does anyone have access to US records to check please?
Not sure if correct to post this follow up on here, but please advise if should start new post?
Thanks for

MarieCeleste

This death has a birthdate that ties in with a WW1 draft registration card for Archibald Walter Norman and the 1907 naturalisation record:

Social Security Death Index
Name: Archibald Norman
SSN: 160-03-2258
Last Residence: 17022 Elizabethtown, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States of America
Born: 13 Feb 1877
Died: Nov 1981
State (Year) SSN issued: Pennsylvania (Before 1951)

EDIT: This chap was originally married to an Adelaide, who he was still with in August 1948 .........

Remind us of Hilda's birth year, rather than me trawling back through all the info on this thread.

Yes, you are right to continue on here :-)
