In all the sources I found it is written that he was the son-in-law of Rabbi Pinchas Halevi Horowitz
his profile:
Rabbi Pinchas HaLevi Horowitz
But, in one source it is written that he was married twice: his first wife was the daughter of Rabbi Pinchas Halevi Horowitz, and when she died he married a member of the Katzenelnbogen family
One thing is for sure:
She was not from the Shapira family as written in her profile
Does anyone know who was the mother of Rebbetzin Miriam, wife of R 'Yehoshua Heschel Charif, of Krakow, Meginei Shlomo
That way I can know who my great-grandmother was?

Good question; I don't know the answer (yet). On another note; You Refer to the Moginei Shlomo as R' Yehoshua Heschel Charif. IMHO he should not be called Heschel. 1. In most sources he's referred to only as R Yehoshua Charif. 2. That could cause some confusion with the "Rebbe R' Heschel", also of Krakow.

Regarding the name of Meginei Shlomo, so it is written in his profile in geni,That's why I wrote his name that way,
By the way, also Rabbi Shmuel( mentioned above) according to Naftali Wakstein, his last name was not Hillis, but it is only a nickname
Similar things exist in many profiles where a certain person is given a last name and this is not true, it is just a nickname
