Notes ( returns to text above)

  1. The congregation's wardens were listed in Jewish Year Books from 1909 through 1956 (except for the war years 1941 to 1945). The year books were generally published towards the end of the year prior to year appearing in such year book's title (e.g. Jewish Year Book 1920 would have been published in 1919). It has been assumed that the term of office of wardens, as listed here, commenced in the year of publication of the relevant year book and continued until the commencement of office of their successors. However, it should be noted that this is only an assumption and accordingly the actual years of office may differ slightly from those shown here. Note: In some instances, where the Jewish Year Books only provided initials, a warden's full name has been obtained from sources.
