Not to be confused with the Glasgow based Zionist Aaron Wolfson (b 1892)
Aaron Wolfson (Born (approx) 1874. Died June 1946, Merthyr Tydfil, at 72[1])
Great grandfather of Lord Wolfson of Tredegar
- Great-grandfather was naturalised (we found his papers in the National Archive) and converted his Hebrew name into English: “Aaron son of Wolf” became “Aaron Wolfson”. But it wasn’t all good. Great-uncle Jack was born in the middle of an anti-Jewish riot in the town in 1911. He was known as “Jack the Riot Baby”, the first member of the family to be given a title.’ [2]
