I'm trying, with very little luck, to trace my fathers paternal side of the family. Unfortunately I don't know an awful lot.
Joseph siberon ambrose is my dad's father, I've been told he was born in either Poland or Lithuania in 1908.
He was living in London UK in 1938 which is where he met and married my gm (iris Irene white). At this time they were living at 77 hackney road E, shoreditch. They'd moved by 1943 to 8 Edith road, Tottenham.
His job at the time was a French polisher and his father was a cabinet maker named joseph ambrose.
I think i read somewhere that a certain part of the east end was the place to be for furniture and cabinet makers. I know many immigrants changed their names or had them changed on entering a new country so that may be why it's been difficult trying to find him.
Can anyone help me to trace him or give me an idea of where to start please?
