Searching for family - Could you be my cousin?

By MrsLuckyStar | Wednesday, April 14, 2010, 11:05

Greetings from sunny Western Australia! My name is Holly Clark, formerly Holly Isaacs, and I'm interested in finding other Isaacs family members living in the UK.

Albert and Emily Isaacs with their children, Reginald and June.
June Isaacs and her younger brother, my father, Bryan Isaacs, around 1952.
Luther Isaacs and his wife Emily, taken 1950-1952, in Kingswood.

My father Bryan's family lived in Shortwood before emigrating to Geelong, in Australia, in around 1952. My grandparents were

Albert Edward Isaacs and Florence Emily Reed, and my great-grandfather was Luther Isaacs. Luther lived at 55 High St in either Kingswood or Hanham until the 1950's, and I believe he was one of twelve children! My father was one of three children - Bryan, June and Reg.

I am currently researching my family history, and have found the Isaacs family lived for at least 200 years around the Oldland Common and Bitton area, the men mainly working as coal miners or farm labourers. I am sure there must be still family living in the area. I would love to hear from anyone, family or friends of the family, willing to contact me as I've love to know more about my English heritage.

I can be reached at holly @ theclarkz .com (remove the spaces) if you'd like to email me. : )
