The above details are a record of the death of Leontine who's married name was ******* but who was born Leontine Siragher on 28/2/1894. She died in Auschwitz 5/8/1943, It then says "not the 31/7/1943 at Drancy". So either she was originally registered as having died in Drancy" & it has since been established that she actually died 5 days later in Auschwitz or perhaps Drancy is where she was taken from to Auschwitz. Maybe Drancy, Seine-St-Denis is where she came from - a suburb of Paris out towards C.Gaulle airport.

I found a Joseph Siragher living in Sydenham, South London in 1904 where he married Julia Dora Soloman at Paddington Registry Office. I wonder if this is a relative of Leontine?

Oh I can help over Drancy

the entry may well mean 'and she didnt die at Drancy on 31 Jul 43'
Perhaps there was a double entry - the name is not like Jn Smith of which there would be many.

Drancy was the holding concentration camp {remember this invention of the British was just to concentrate the population in one place] for gay paree
and still exists -

Basically it was three blocks at right angles to make a square, and VERY easy to build a fence around
and in they went in large numbers for processing

Westerbork was the parallel in Amsterdam but I think W was only for jews - that was where Anne Frank went through.

back to D. You could get out of Drancy. The Blue bell girl - the Brit who ran a strip club in Paris
was arrested for being a Brit and taken to Drancy
in erm 1941 and convinced her captors
"Oi'm nart. Oi'm Oirish bejabbers"
And she had an Eire passport -the South's pro-German leanings were obviously helpful in this - and she was reluctantly spewed out a month or so later. It is in her biog.

Poor Leontine does not seem so lucky.

Good luck in the rest of your search
