Following correspondence with Lesley Sterling, I am not prepared to merge the two profiles for Rachel Benjamin without verifying who she married.

There are the following LIKELY entries: (she was born in 1875 and is likely to have married after the age of 20 (1895) and 30 (1905).

The possible entries of marriage are:
Q2 1893 at Whitechapel to Morris Cohen or Morris Goldstein.
Q2 1896at Whitechapel to Phillip Joseph or Romuald Murawski
Q2 1898 at London City to Harris Solomons or Mark Venigard
Q1 1899 at London City to Lewis Israel or Solomon Melenick
Q4 1899 at Poplar to David McIntosh or George Edward Moulton
Q2 1902 at Mile End to Oscar Neustadt or Heinrich Roemer
Q2 1903 at Mile End to Henry Abrahams or Sam Cuten
Q3 1905 at Hackney to Louis Goldstein oe Phillip Guttwoch

Findagrave says the wife of Solomon Melinek was born in Poland, not London.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/222391071/rachel-melinek?_gl=1*....

And that she died on 27 November 1910 at Whitechapel.

The death record for Rachel Melinck in Q3 1910 translates to her year of birth being 1873.

The 1901 census says she was born in about 1877 and was „Pol Russian Sub“, living at Spitalfields, the wife of Gershon Melenek.

The London school record says she was born on 8 December 1874.

Kindly order the certificate of marriage proving Rachel from Poland ist he same person as Rachel born in London otherwise I am afraid I will not be convinced to merge the profiles.

Thank you.

She is the wife of Shlomo Mlynek for sure. The mgr of her Find a Grave is a jerk and didn’t make the change I requested. (I re-requested it) She was born in London. I have the source. Shlomo was born in Poland. They were married 18 Jan 1899 in the Great Synagogue, City of London, England, UK.

They are married with one child in the 1901 census. Shlomo must have given the information and assumed she was born in Poland when he spoke to the census taker.

I have her in photos with Shlomo.

You are completely wrong. After your rude tirade, I can confirm that "your" tree has now been corrected. Please refrain from calling a Findagraver a "jerk". The Findagraver is perfectly correct and you are wrong. I am not surprised he did not accede to your demands especially if you were as unplasant as you have been to me.

You have the wrong Rachel Benjamin, "your" Rachel Benjamin was born in Poland in approximately 1873 and not in December 1874.

The 1891 census shows her living with her parents Isaac and Sarah and her siblings, all born in Poland, save for the last, Harris Benjamin, who was born at Whitechapel, and his mother's maiden name was Rozen.

The photos you have of "her" are of Rachel Benjamin born in Poland in about 1873, mother's maiden name Rozen.
