Note on Husband: Samuel PAM

Samuel Pam was the oldest of four children of Isak and Elizabeth Pam.

It is assumed that he was born at Svitavy, five miles from Opatov in the Czech Republic. This is based on the fact that his younger brother Albert was born in this town. Albert settled in Lewis in East Sussex, UK.

He was the Postmaster and Baker at Opatov and died aged 64.

He was married twice. His first wife, Rosa died in childbirth. They had six children. Samuel then married Karoline. Two children were born of that union.

Many of Samuel’s descendants left what is now called the Czech Republic and settled in France, Australia, U.K and the U.S.

Many of his children developed successful careers in the Jewellery and Diamond trade.
