Pearl was born in 1901 in Preshemishel Austria. She emigrated with her parents in 1904 and came to Strangeways, Manchester. Her father died (Springer) in that year and her mother did dressmaking with Pearl's stepsisters. Pearl went to Waterloo Road school and when her mother remarried in 1913 they went to live in Teneriffe Street. Her mother married Chaim Moss, a widower with many children - including Abraham Moss. In 1923 they went to live Great Clowes Street. Pearl did tailoring in factories when she left school and married an emigrant from Riga - Max Gollenbeck - in 1923. Max had been in the Russian army in the First World War and had been taken a prisoner of war. He eventually came to England and went into the weekly payment business on his engagement.
