Yes I was very confused about the American connection but you are all correct and I was wrong! They are my ancestors! I wish I could find out more about what happened to them afterwards...

There's some documents here I just uploaded http://imgur.com/gallery/OfBXUqr Hi HoS...pleased you've got your head around it...links below may well be of interest. http://www.witness.group.shef.ac.uk/interview-edward-patnick/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confessions-Junk-Dealer-Edward-Patnick/dp/1907998136 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://kehillatkernow.com/newsletter/Kol-Kehillat-Kernow-09-08.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiJ5cqgk6buAhUkQkEAHT0XBX04KBAWMAl6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw0JA19Nggt72oicDcK57n8_ If you're interested in finding out what happened to them afterwards... you have a good chance through Ancestry. I've had a look and there are a few people with Lapatnick/Patnik's in their tree, UK, USA and Australia. ..some of them have information on the family prior to coming to the UK....the only snag being that most of the tree owners haven't been on since early last year. Unfortunately I dont have the international subscription required to view the records. You could also try FB...I think this lady in the US was married to Leonard Lapatnick, descended from Hyman Michael. https://m.facebook.com/lapatnick Edited January 18, 2021 by sadbrewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi Diane Major - welcome to the Forum! As it happens I was just researching migration records and found Dora, Leah, Minnie and Abraham. Here is what I found for Minnie, who evidently sailed on the American Line steamer SS Haverford in 1920. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Major Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Thank you so much for this information. I have trying for many years to find out Hyman’s first wife Sara’s surname. She was my great grand mother she past away in England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Major Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 There were never any pictures of Sara #1 or information. My grandmother was young and by then he remarried another Sara. I’ve always been curious about her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Hi Diane Major - I checked the births index for Minnie, and her mother's maiden name is given as Lapatnick. In the marriages index there is an entry for a Markel Lapatnick who married a Sarah Lapatnick in Sheffield in 1895. In 1911, Hyman and Sarah had been married for 16 years according to what is written on the census form for that year, and the form is signed in the name of Hyman M. Lapatnick. So from this it seems that "Markel" was Hyman Markel Lapatnick who married Sarah Lapatnick, perhaps a cousin. Anyway here is a screenprint of Minnie's birth entry.

Diane Major Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Was there another Sarah After This Sarah passed? I was told the second Sara was the wife who came to America and the first Sarah died in England at a young age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looking in the deaths index there is no entry for a Sarah Lapatnick. I checked a number of variations in the surname etc. but nothing came up. Also, I cannot find another marriage entry for Hyman, so I'm afraid this remains a mystery. But it seems clear that the Sarah mentioned in the 1911 census return was the one who married Hyman in Sheffield in 1895, her maiden name was Lapatnick and she was the mother of Minnie.
