Searching for the Lapidus family of Manchester who had owned (from at least the late 1800s) a Matzo company and then Fish & Chip shops. I know that at least one of the shops was still open in 1999. They had originally been from Russia and had family in both Boston, Mass., USA and New York, especially Adolph (also spelt Adolf) Lapidus, born c1863 a tailor who was Russian and who was married to Sero (also known as Sarah) who was German. Adolph and Sarah arrived in the USA in 1888 from Krakau, Galacia[/size] and settled in New York, moving to Middlesex Street, Suffolk, Boston, Mass., USA. They had children Elizabeth, Luis, Eni and Eti, all born in Boston, USA.
Luis and Eti were brought to the UK (Manchester) in 1894 by their Mother to live with their Lapidus family, the Mother Sarah going back to the USA with another Daughter.
Adolf and Sarah were my Great Grandparents and their Daughter Eti, my Grandmother.
If anyone knows anything about any of this family, please contact me.
Thank you.
