Biographical information
Born October 16, 1926, in the suburb of Arncliffe in Sydney, N.S.W. (New South Wales).
Valma and Len were divorced, and Valma remarried. Len passed away shortly before May 8, 1991.
By coincidence, Valma's aunt Freda was also the stepmother of Yvonne Ward's husband.
Sources: Malcolm Cherlin, and the research of 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.
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.
