  Notes	Isaac Braham, born Yitzchak Eliasiewicz in the village of Dobra, Poland, in 1868, emigrated to London with his three younger brothers around 1895. All four were tailors, and they found work in the East End. Isaac soon met and married London native Fanny Goodman -- it's likely that her father employed Isaac for a time -- and they had six children. Isaac was very successful, and around 1908 moved to a northern London suburb, where he lived and ran his tailor's shop for another 50 years. He was a founder of Highgate Synagogue. Fanny died in 1947, and Isaac in 1960.
