Hi, my name is Ian Woodhams and I'm Frederick John Woodhams's youngest Son. We have tried to research the family tree but have always come unstuck due to the Father of Frederick John (known as just John) not being known. We did find out that Kathleen died a few days after giving birth to my Dad aged just 17 and she was a clerk at London Brick Company and living at 4 Oundle Road, Peterborough. Issie and Catherine were living at Fleet, Holbeach, Lincolnshire whilst I was growing up.

Hello Ian, thanks so much for getting in touch. Another successful story from Family Tree Circles!
What a sad story about your grandmother. So I guess I was right that he was taken in by your aunt and uncle. I don't think you will find the information. It was in most cases meant to remain unknown. We have had the same problem elsewhere in the family tree in that it is impossible to find out, especially when people have passed on and taken the information to the grave. Most have the idea that everyone was much more prissy back in those days but having children out of wedlock was far more common back then than people think.

I have since found some information on you and your brothers and sisters, but that's all the progress I made.
My connection is Myer's brother Morrie (Maurice)married my great aunt Hasia. Everyone called her either Cassie or Chessie. There were a number of Issies in the family which gets a bit confusing. Isaac was a name passed down for generations.

I'm interested in anything you recall of the Slatopolskys at all. I am guessing they changed their name perhaps to Slater?
Look forward to hearing more.

Ian I have a picture that may be of Max (Myer) Slatopolsky, I'd like to send you, and see if you recognise that face.

Hi Ian, it would be great if you could get back in touch with me as I still have some questions about the family, such as what happened to Issie's son Louis. You can email me darianzamdesign at gmail dot com
