| Research by Laurence Harris (not related) into the baking of matzot in the United Kingdom was published on-line as a table of data entitled Passover Cake Bakers. The data lists Jewish bakers engaged in that activity in the United Kingdom during the period 1700-1945. The file seems to have been withdrawn from the Internet at some time before March 2011 when I found that the link from this page no longer worked. However, an article about Passover Cake Bakers by Laurence Harris was published in the March 2004 edition of Shemot (the journal of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain). |
