Lily I. (Lillian) Sherizen Sharon, Q.C.
1906 – August 1991
Mozyr → Toronto
Life
A Toronto barrister, called to the bar in 1930 and later a Q.C. She ran for city council in 1960 and gave an oral history to the Archives of Ontario in May 1991. She lived at Sholom's address, so she is probably his daughter. Her mother is unproven (perhaps Annie). Steven Leof's tree makes her Herman's half-sister by Shalom's second wife.

The original June 1931 census at that address is Max and Celia Singer with their own daughter Lily, so that inference was withdrawn (Instinct, M21).
