About Rev Myer Wolfson

http://jewishtelegraph.com/roots_216.html

Liverpudlian Rev Myer Wolfson and his Polish wife, Sara (nee Chmielnicki).

After serving as minister to Hastings and Aberdeen Hebrew Congregations, Myer wanted to study shechita.

But as training facilities were not available in the UK, Myer trained as a shochet with a distant relative, Reb Sholom Chmielnicki, of Porozov, Poland.

Myer fell in love with and married the shochet's daughter, Sara, and took her back to Liverpool with him, where he served as a shochet, as well as minister of Fountains Road and Fairfield synagogues and later as assistant minister of Childwall Hebrew Congregation.
