Dear Genners,
I would be grateful if someone can send me in the right direction.

Finally I have found my greatX2 uncle Marks Leon COHEN of Cork, now buried
in Woltemade Cemetery, Maitland Cape Town.
He died in 1907 (Moshe Leib)
Can anyone tell me what it says on his tombstone. Should be Bar Meir.

Still have not found his wife Esther. Father's name in English had initial
G.

Per London JC daughter Annie married Jack MOSS of Bulawayo in CT in 1905. I
have found their burials in Bulawayo Cemetery.
Does anyone know of children?

The Zimbabwe Jewish Community cemetery website is very impressive and an
example to everyone else. Wow!!

Second daughter Lllie or Lily (Leah) married David Abraham BLUMBERG in
1910.
I have found his burial in Bulawayo but his spouse is Edith.
I have yet to find a death notice for Lily . Death or divorce??
Does anyone know of the family?
From tombstones I have learned that both the Moss and Blumberg families were
communal leaders or" movers and shakers".

The youngest daughter Hinde/Hilda married or at least became betrothed to
Harry Charles in Bulawayo in 1914.
I have not found Zimbabwean or South African records for them. I have not
checked UK yet.
Does anyone know of the family?

I have not found any Bulawayo births or marriages/divorces online so I
really need some help here.

This may or may not help. Marks Leon Cohen was an uncle of the Goldbergs of
Leigh Ranch Rhodesia (of Essie Goldberg the matriarch).And slightly more
remote a relative of Rev Bernstein and Rev Yezorsky both ZAL.

Thank you for any information.
