 The Isaacs connection is interesting, because the word in my mother’s family was that they were related to Sir Rufus Isaacs, Lord Reading.  I haven’t found a connection yet, and I don’t know how much contact there was between the US and English branches (I never knew Isabella’s oldest sister had married and moved to Savannah Georgia until I readtheir...

 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...

 . I have just spent the last 2 hours looking up glasshouse street and trying to find cigarette manufacturers. I started off with Morris Jacobs, Ezra son, knew he married Sophia Lazarus but up until a couple of hours that’s all I had. Found he dropped dead 1891, only 1 daughter I thought how boring! But….then found the daughter had...

 Rebecca Isaacs married Henry Jacobs her father was Judah Isaacs dec address 13 Harrow Alley Houndsditch 28.11.1841. Henry’s address was down as 27 Duke Street Aldgate. In the census they were both down as102 Petticoat Lane so perhaps they were visiting at the time of census. According to her death index she was born in 1818, she died ‘quite young’...

 Was looking at the Hymanson drawing Dave has done, Henry Jacobs (John/Jacob/Coppel) son was living at 271/2 Duke street as a butcher on the 1851 census. Henry married Rebecca Isaacs in November 1841, according to Jewish Gen he was at least there in Duke street  in 1846.   Now……theory time. And can someone check this through…..Phil?  On the GS Marriages there...
