(nee Mabin) |
|

1852-1935, b. in Erzerum, = Elise Helene Harvey
Charles
Peter Zorab. An important case
in the law of Trusts involved him as one of the parties, since
he was a trustee of two trusts associated with the famous British
Armenian millionnaire, Calouste Gulbenkian. There were three cases
(the basic case, and then appeals to two higher courts in succession).
The final, House of Lords case was called: Whishaw and Another

E
Judge Edgar Albert (Eddie)
Zorab LLD drew up the second Roman
alphabet version of a Zohrab/Zorab family tree on the basis of
the genealogical tree composed in Armenian by Aviet (Avetick)
Carapiet Zohrabiants, of New Julfa, Isfahan, Iran, in 1919. Judge
Edgar's tree was spread over five (5) pages of a notebook. I have
received a version of this by email from Dr. John Zorab, and then
a photocopy by mail from Mr. Kelvin Pollock. The two versions
which I have received are clearly not photocopies of each other
or of the same original, and the latter seems more authentic,
in that it shows lines appearing to be those of a notebook, and
in that it includes writing in Dutch, which was clearly Judge
Edgar Zorab's main language (apart from Armenian, if he knew that).
