About Dora Taylor

Dora Taylor nee Schun was born in Disna, Vilnius in 1887. This area was once part of the USSR and one can trace the area on the internet. Dora was known as Bobby Taylor and lived in the same village as her husband Joseph Zeleznikov. This marriage was not approved by Joseph's parents who had other plans for their son. Eventually the couple left the area to come to the UK.

I was told they went to Ireland first where Dora had family but later left for England and settled in Strangeways where there was a large immigrant jewish population.

This information was given to Joan Richards nee Taylor
