| Notes |
- The Latvian State Historical Archives state that at time of 1897 All- Russian census he lived in the house of Malkiel, Varaklyanskaya Street, Vilyani, Latvia and was literate. In this context literate probably means that he could read cyrillic script.
His last Alien Registration Book states that he arrived in England in 1905. His Russian passport was dated 25 Nov 1905. If both dates are correct then he must have arrived in Dec 1905. I believe that he came with his wife Minnie and his brother-in-law Gedaliah Caiden. His sister Deborah Caiden stayed in Latvia with their sons, Morris and Joe until they were settled in England.
The Alien Registration Book no. 438805 issued 3 Sep 1930 at Leman Street London E.1 mentions retaining book no. 391095 issued Leman Street 21 Oct 1918. The Alien Registatrion Book gives his birth place as Wielum, Veliony, Rezhitsa, Latvia. Wielum is the German name for Vilani and Veliony must have been the official trying to understand when my grandfather repeated the name. His passport was issued at Vitebsk.
Address on Harry's birth certificate 3 Freemont Street, South Hackney, London. As they had only been in England for about 7 months this was probably their first home. South Hackney was not a normal address for a new immigrant. Gedaliah Caiden's brother Michael Caidan was living there at the time and he must have found them a room or they just looked in the area where he lived.
Within four years, by the time that Sid was born they had moved to 31 Ellingfort Road, Hackney, London.
When Jack was born the address was 71 Eleanor Road. The surname on his birth certificate is Isaac Sardin. I assume that he was called Jack after his grandfather Jankel who must have died bfore then.
When Jean was born the address was 4 Holcroft Road. The on her birth certificate was Fanny Sardin.
Three years later on Hirsh's Certificate of Military Discharge dated 20 Sep 1917 the address is still 4 Holcroft Road Hackney and his name anglicised to Harris Sardin.
The Alien Registration Book mentions going to Yewtree Cottage Bucklands nr. Aylesbury. This was were his daughter-in-law Polly was evacuated whilst pregnent with Adrienne
On his Russian passport and Alien Regestation document his occupation is stated as bootmaker. Jack's birth certificate describes him as a boot heel maker. I remember him with a shoe repair shop at 199 Lea Bridge Road, Leyton London E.10. My memory is of an artisan workshop with only a long counter behind which he carried out the repairs. He and Minnie lived behind and over the shop which was within walking distance of his son Sid's home. The garden was very simple but always neat and tidy with flower beds on three sides, a path around the edge and a small lawn in the cenctre.Although my grandfather died when I was 5 yrs I do recall a very erect proud looking man who I was slightly nervous of but never knew why
His death certificate has error in the year of death, it should be 1949 not 1947. The year of registration is shown as 1949 and his stone setting, which is normally about one year after the death, was announced in the Jewish Chronicle on 16 Jun 1950. The Hebrew date for his death was 9 Tammuz 5709
The Letters of Administration dated 24 Aug 1949 show his estate value as £1,818 0s 0p

Abraham ZERDIN 27 Jun 1906 Male, Gents Tailor, Single Schedule 283 Sub Number 3
.
Born:
- Birth date was originally set as 28 May 1879 based upon two sources. The 28 May taken from Harris's 70th birthday. 1879 also taken from 70th birthday and the 1897 Census. The 1939 Register states the date as 20 June 1879. I have therefore revised the date as this was probably given by Harris.
