  • Notes 
    • Occupation: 3 March 1909 tailors baster and 26 October 1921 journeyman tailor.
      .
    • Sid Taylor's grandchildren said that Harris came from Georgia whilst Gershon said he came from Vilna (Vilnius), Lithuania

      Sid Taylor's grandchildren also said that Annie worked in a guest house where Harris stayed when he arrived and that was how they met before they were married.

      All the birth certificates refer to the mark of Harris Tobovitch meaning he was unable to sign his name.

      At time of Morrie's birth (1 Mar 1907) lived at 98 Old Montague Street, Whitechapel, London
      At time of Mick's birth (3 Mar 1909) lived at 13 Mount Street, Whitechapel, London
      At the time of Bessie's birth (15 Mar 1911) lived at 13 Mount Street, Whitechapel, London
      At the time of Sid's birth (22 Dec 1912) lived at 13 Mount Street, Whitechapel, London
      At time of Gershon's birth ( 8 May 1918) lived at 7 Tesburgh Buildings, Crellin Street, St George in the East, London
      At the time of Myer's birth ( 8 Dec 1915) lived at 5 Tasberg Buildings, London
      At time of Alf's birth (26 Oct 1921) lived at 7 Tasburg Buildings, St George in the East, London

      At the time of death he lived at 7 Crellin Street but died at 3 Raines Street. Death certificate gives cause of death as Phthisis which is a wasting disease especially of the lungs. Death reported by D. R. Thompson who lived at 3 Raine Street.

      Jane Schofield said that during WW1 Harris made uniforms for soldiers. This agrees with Myer's marriage certificate that described Harris's occupation as an Army and Navy Contractor.

      Michael Tobin said that when Mick Tobin was a child he used to sit on the floor and count his fathers gold coins. The family say that he was rich and that Annie had a lot of jewelry but that after his death it was spent or stolen from her.
