Could somebody please look up Clara polack nee isaacs, born c 1862 Holland to see if she still lives with husband Louis and children. Also does anyone know how I can get more info on them before they left Holland. In the 1901 census they were living St Georges E
Many thanks Len

Do you know her children's names? This is the nearest I can see:-

POLACK, Clara Wife Married F 47 1864 Cigar Maker Bethnal Green London

POLACK, Lois Daughter Single F 11 1900 Bethnal Green London

POLACK, Samuel Son M 7 1904 Bethnal Green London

Address:
5 Surat Street Bethnal Green N E

Reference:
RG14PN1408 RG78PN49 RD17 SD1 ED27 SN169

EDIT - it may be the right family as Clara is a cigar maker in 1911 and that is her husband's occupation in 1901. 1911 says she is married but husband is not on the census form.

Hi Len, unfortunately the 1911 census does not inform you which children died.

The 1911 says Clara is still married. It just doesn't have her husband on the census form so he is maybe somewhere else.

I cant find Louis or any of the other children from the 1901 census in 1911. Perhaps Louis took the children on a visit to Holland??

Hi Holly the reason i said she was born in Holland is the 1901 census
