Can we prove that Flora b 1870 Shanghai is the sister of David Gubbay? We have 2 (or more) David's with a mother Anna; one David was b 1861 HK d 1931 HK.

This could be her family but if so, she is not the sister of David Sassoon Gubbay. I tend to think this might be accurate for Flora and there will be census records to verify.

There are also marriage notices and reports in the London Jewish Chronicle (Nov and Dec 1896) referring to her as the eldest daughter of the late M. S. GUBBAY of Shanghai and Bombay, and of Mrs. Gubbay, of 24, Queens Gardens, Hyde Park.

So here's our Marcus Gubbay. Did you want to do the new profiles needed and split the tree?

I have split David Sassoon Gubbay from his parents Marcus Simon Gubbay and Anna Gubbay

Those parents can have children added from http://www.farhi.org/wc116/wc116_459.htm

Thank you David! If its OK I'd rather work adding docs and maybe profiles to the OTHER David Gubbay.

I know this was a while ago but if you are still looking for info, Alain Farhi who runs Farhi.org may be able to put you onto the person who gave the information to him.
