My great grandfather was a Solomon TENSER or TENCER or TANCER. He is shown
in the 1901 census in London, it gives age as 39 and place of birth given as
Poland, Russian subject.

I know he married a Miriam Metze, and they had at least three children Jack
born about 1885, Isaac born about 1899 and Morris born about 1903.
They all used variations of the surname Tenser.
I believe Jack was born in Poland and know that Morris ws born in England
but am unsure about where Isaac was born.
Jack moved to the Manchester area where he ran a greengrocers, Isaac and
Morris stayed in London. Morris ran a grocers in Cambridge Heath Road.
Isaac, my grandfather, fought during WW1 and was an air raid warden in WW2
and he was killed in an air raid in 1941. At some point he changed his name to
Harry Edward Saunders, I am not sure when but would appear to be before 1919
when he married Esther Roberts, my grandmother who was a Catholic. This
caused a split between Isaac and his parents. At some point she converted to
Judaism and they had a Jewish wedding. I am looking for any information about the
family especially why and when my grandfather Isaac changed his name and
any details about their wedding or where I might be able to find out about the
wedding.
