 We have all of David’s brothers and sisters to find and our 6 x ggrandfather, I feel there is much more out there on other branches. Next is a trip to German/Poland to find our very distant relatives! I for one really want to know Philips wife’s name as that is a branch I can investigate and even David’s wife. I...

 As Debbie has said I do have many Crawcour relatives in Melbourne including Pat Coppel and his dad – they are all my blood relatives by and large most descended from Isaac Crawcour son of David ( David is my 4x great grandfather). However, I also have my Hart relatives in Victoria- Grace Hart ( dau of Aaron Hart and...

 I’ve been doing some pondering on the data that June sent me and would welcome any input that you  might have..   Whilst I like Samuel being the son of Moses and Sarah I feel that we need something more concrete. We have a reliable descendent tree from Samuel but how can we determine whether he is a son of Moses and...

 I have partly shared this with Phil but I have now been in contact with an owner of a Isaac tree and she has Elizabeth Jacobs marrying her GGGG father David Isaacs, which tied into all my research. I did a lot of research over the last few days, anything to stop me finishing typing up my notes! This is...

 PS Finally got the prove of Amelia Jacobs, Henry’s daughter’s family as her husband didn’t write English so I have had trouble tracing the family through the census but I know have the 1st child on the census and the last child (with more unusual name) and they are both Amelia’s so can add all that family to my notes.[Debbie...

  I was looking at old documents that Phil had sent me. One was a list of Jacobs at Duke Street. At the bottom was Joseph Jacobs Duke Street, When I looked him up on 1841 it was 1 Duke Street, Bethnel Green, not Aldgate, not too far though.  Here is the PO entry for 1851, unless I am being...

 I was examining closely the re. marriage of Jane Jacobs to Daniel Dias in Melbourne 1874.  Facts 1. Jane married 5 months after Lewis died in England – Burial, grieving time, boat, meeting someone new she wanted to marry, doesn’t add up.   2. She knocked of 12 years off her age  3. Daniel Dias father was John the Butcher….interesting, born in...
