I have tryed different ways of spelling his name and his fathers name, but I find it difficult to establish a contakt to any of the family trees.The last week I have been writing to many administrators but no luck. And I have not got an answer from the Synagoge. I have also written to some administrators in Israel but no luck there either. And I have a problem with the language, I speak English, German and Norwegian, and that is not a good match.

But thanks for Your help, it has been fantastic for me with all the new details I got from You and this site. Have a nice weekend!

You may learn more by getting the original probate documents from the UK government. 

I’m not sure how you do that though.

You can also Google the names of the people who attended his funeral (see photos) to get a feel for his friends.

I have sendt a request to the UK Goverment asking how I can get a copy. No reply yet. I have also written to many of the administrators on MyHeritage, Geni and so on. No answers. It seems that they are not willing to share information. So, I think maybe I am at the end of the road now, and that's ok. All I wanted was too find out more abouth grandmother and mothers family, and I feel I have learnd a lot of new details.
