Nairobi South cemetery - Dora Jacobs, died 1 Mar 1930 aged 82

Christine Nicholls' blog in Old Africa 20 July 1913 - Sammy’s father was Herman Brodent, a tailor originally from Lodz, who changed his name to Jacobs and went to live in Hull in Yorkshire, and his mother was Dora Moscow (from the Moscovitch family in Poland), who ran a boarding house. Sam was actually born in England in 1887, in Hull, being taken to South Africa as a child in 1892, on the Dunottar Castle, and he had a brother (Marks, born in 1885) and three sisters, Leah (born 1877), Esther (Hettie, born 1881) and Gertrude (Gertie, born in 1883). It seems that Mark, Gertie and Sammy came to East Africa in 1906, because Sammy had worked for the East African Standard in South Africa.
