Sources:

• Malcolm Cherlin
• Rabbi Gorr
Rabbi Gorr corresponded with Lennox Cherlin in July 1984, and this information was passed on to Carlton Brooks in a letter of May 27, 1986 (17 Iyyar 5746), reaching us in July, 2005. Lennox sent the requested information to Rabbi Gorr (The Jerusalem Institute for Jewish Genealogy, 52/34 Hantke St., Jerusalem Israel 96782) on July 2, 1984 from 14 Middle Harbour Road, Lindfield, N.S.W. 2070, Australia. The correspondence concerned the will of a Bessie Cherlin Glinsky, deceased in the U.S.
• Rookwood Cemetery, Australia
• Documents in Lennox' possession in 1984:
father's birth certificate, London; Grandfather's marriage certificate, United Synagogue, London; Father's marriage certificate, United Synagogue, East London. Apparently Rabbi Gorr was involved in trying to find relatives of Bessie Glinsky (nee Cherlin), an American, in connection with the settlement of a will.
