In 1848 Hungarian Census (from Jewish Gen) we can learn that Farkas NATHAN and Borbalya EPSTEIN lived in skalica :

Wolf (Farkas in Hungarian) NATHAN died in Skalica on 17 July 1860.
According to 1848 census he was 72 years old, and according to his death record he was 71 years old.
Betti (Borbalya in Hungarian) NATHAN born EPSTEIN died in skalica on 19 April 1872.
According to 1848 census she was 79 years old, and according to her death record she was 75 years old.
In both death records their address was BachGasse 197 in Skalica.

14 months after Betti's death, on the 4th of June 1873, Leopold LOEFFLER from Holics married Elisabeth (Elise) NATHAN in Skalica.
Elise came from the near by town Radosovce but her address then as shown in the marriage record,
and their address after the wedding as shown in their children birth records, was BachGasse 197 in Skalica!
Wolf was Elise's uncle. It seems that they had no children, so when Betti died the house was given to the new couple.

The LOEFFLER family lived in Skalica for at least 14 years.
They had 6 children born in Skalica;

Max (Markus) born 1874.

Yohann (Yanush, Yohanan) born 1877.

William (Binyamin - Zee'v, Wolf) born 1878.

Szigmund (Asher Zelig) born 1880.

Fany born 1882 died 1883 in Skalica.

Mano (Menahem) born 1884.

Another child, Edward (Ede) was born in the next door town Holics in 1887.

Sometimes between 1887 and 1911 the family moved to Budapest. The reason for moving was probably because in small towns it was hard to make a living.
There was probably also political reason - the antisemitism in small communities spread, and Budapest would have been a much more secured place.
Also socially, the Jewish community in Budapest was so much larger that would make Jewish life much easier, especially for a religious family as were.

Markus LOEFFLER survived the Holocaust in Budapest and moved to Israel where he died in the 1950s. He did not have children.
