Isac's occupation is listed on his son , Philip's, marriage certificate as a " medical Practitioner" however it is said that this is only a myth perpetrated by certain members of the family in order to step up the social ladder.

His grandsons Issac or Willie apparently replied when asked if Isac was a doctor " Naa! don't believe everything you hear. He might have cured someone's bunions but he wasn't a doctor."

He was possibly a " Whealer and dealer" of some sort who " used a few hocus pocus herbal cures on some locals "

She was sent back to England to live with Leah and joined the young Communist league when she was only 14.

Regina was working in Selfridges when during 1949, and the days of rationing, Maurice announced he was visiting for the day, he bribed her boss with a pair of nylons, and they set off shopping in a market in London. Regina had a love of fruit and Maurice ordered " a pound of apples, bunch of grapes 2 pound of Cherries and a hand of bananas". He was told that only holders of a green book ( a pregnant ladies ration book) could have the bananas. and he was not getting them. Less than 10 minutes latter he had convinced the trader he would organize a shipment of bananas from the Canaries Islands shipped via Cork to Hollyhead and they both would make a fortune. Needless to say he got his hand of Bananas and the trader may be still waiting for the shipment.

She had a watch importing business from 1972 to 83 and still runs a jewelers with her daughter Lesley.
