SECRETS

The Bird family were convinced that Irving and Thalia were married. They used to go to the Watson's to stay in Grantham during the war. One day a message came through that they had married with Ellen & John as witnesses. The family believed this of course, as on the death of Thalia the death certificate showed 'Slome, wife of etc' which they all thought was genuine.
The family knew there had been a wife from Ireland who had been very 'sickly' all her life and had died [another fabrication?] and that Irving had to be in London most of the week at his practice in Harley Street.There was a bit of a suspicion at one point that he may have had someone else in Carlisle. He opened a medical practice there on a part time basis. Thalia went to stay there on the weekends but he always put her up in a hotel and popped in to see her.
The only contact the family ever had for Irving was through his solicitor, they never had his home or work numbers.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa in September 1939, Ansel A. Slome received schooling in South Africa. He obtained his BA LLB from Pretoria University in South African and his MA LLB from Cambridge University in England.

Mr. Slome has been admitted to practice law in England, South Africa and California. He worked as an attorney with Oppenheimer, Nathan & Van Dyke in London, England and was a partner with the firm Sonnenberg, Hoffman & Galombic in Cape Town, South Africa.

He immigrated to the United States in 1979. He was a partner with the firm Kaplan, Livingston, Berkowitz and Selvin in Beverly Hills before becoming a founding, and then managing, partner with the firm Pollard, Bauman, Slome & McIntosh. Mr. Slome retired from legal practice in 1987. He maintains active memberships in the Law Society of London, the Law Society, Cape, and the California Bar Association.

Currently, Mr. Slome is the joint managing director of Slome Capital Corp., a large, private, international investment management firm. He also acts as a director of a number of private companies.

Mr. Slome is an active member of Ohr HaTorah. He was involved with the UJA (the South African equivalent of UJF) for many, many years.

Mr. Slome was a founding member of the South African Jewish American Community of Los Angeles/Orange County, is a member of the board of The Academy for Jewish Religion, and was the founding sponsor of the Keruv Program at Valley Beth Shalom, conceived and overseen by Rabbis Schulweis and Feinstein.
