  • Notes 
    • Birth certificate gives parents as Harris Lerdin and Minnie Lerdin formerly Kordis

      Address at time of Adriennes birth in 1939 was 62 Overton Road Leyton London E10

      Fay Weil gave 62 Overton Road as her address on her marriage licence.

      Sid had workrooms in Cleveland Street London W1

      Sid was a stalwart member of Boundary Road Synagogue. It gave him enormous pleasure particularly if he was given one of the honours during the service.He went there most Saturday mornings as well as all the holidays. Even though he went to football in the afternoons in my younger days or to see his children after they were married he went to the synagogue first. It was Sid who took me to my first football match ( Leyton Orient v Port Vale in the F.A.Cup) and I have supported the Orient ever since.

      My memories of Sid were always of a gentle kind thoughtful man. As my father's brother he was a very important part of my life after my parents died. He and Polly together with Max and Margie Hickman helped through those difficult years. They took on board the responsibility and showed the love that I know they felt. On the night before my wedding I slept in Sid and Polly's house and left from there to the Synagogue. After we were married and lived in Highwood Gardens they visited us most Saturdays after seeing both of their children Adrienne and David together with their families. For us this was an important time when our children were very young and they helped create the extended family that was needed for our children with only one grandparent. KZ
    • Occupation: small leather goods manufacturer. I only remember him making bags and purses.

      An Airgraph dated 19 September 1943 is addressed to:-
      1081689 D/M ZERDIN S.
      126 A/TK BTY R.A.
      WYKEHAM HALL
      LUDFORD
      LINCS
      ENGLAND

      It is difficult to read but appears to say:-

      " I was very pleased to recieve your Airgraph dated 21-6-43 and too know you are keeping well, your Airograph has been quite a while reaching me. Florrie has wrote and I must congratulate you on the Baby Boy and I am also glad to know that they are both well. I am glad to know that Ben is alright but he has not wrote to me for a while.

      I suppose you have heard that Bob is a prisoner of war in Jap hands but he is safe and well. I am going to send him something as soon as I Gomm sends me his address. Players are only 3 tannas for ten and Woods 2 tannes ten but although smisters are cheaper out here I would rather go without and be back home. Well Syd theres not more to write at present so I will close now. Hoping this finds you and the rest of your family and also my folks Safe and Well as it leaves me.By the way if you write too Debytell her too write. Best regards to all at home. I ????? write soon take care of yourself Best of luck Syd.

      From Harry"

      KZ notes
      1) I have tried to copy the letter exactly.
      2) I am not sure that Gomm is what was written
      3) Players and Woods (Woodbines)were cigarettes that were sold in packets of 10
      4) A tanner was 6d.(approximately 2.5p)so that the packets of ten cost either 5p or 7.5p
      5) I cannot decifer the word prior to write.
      6) Initially I thought that Harry was his brother but I am now certain that he was a brother-in-law on the POPPER side of his family.
