 Was looking through the NSM and found this, had anyone else spotted this, my hebrew is no good so I guess it says Jacob son of Leo Letson (I think) marries possibly Frances daughter of ???? glad to be corrected as I only googled it. Original below: NSM 083         1795    Jacob b. Ari Leib Letson married Frumat bat Baruch Halevi [Divorcee][Debbie Bozkurt] ...

  information from Chris Newall on the Phoebe Jacobs line ( Phoebe daughter of ‘our’ Henry) I have seen much earlier data on the site relating to the Cantor lines  ( 2002 ?) and the following data links to the marriage of Phoebe  Jacobs ( we are pretty sure she is the daughter of Henry Jacobs and  Kitty Moses) to...

 I have found the father and mother +siblings of Mary Ann Nathan widow who married Abraham Jacobs. Her father is RICHARD J YOXALL MASTER BUTCHER AGE 59 IN 1881 CENSUS 5 STANBURY ROAD CAMBERWELL B1822 ST LUKESsee Familysearch Mormon site for the family.[Phil Kirby]

 I am sending you data on Humphrey Levy glass dealer 1815 http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/ViewPDF.aspx?pdf=17089&geotype=London&gpn=2468&type=ArchivedIssuePage&all=&exact=HUMPHREY  [Phil Kirby]  He certainly doesn’t seem like a very good businessman!  No indication so far that he’s a relative, however – [Carol Freeman] I think you have to ask yourself the question did Daniel take over Henry’s business or were his own family in the glass trade.Also, where is...

 We think that ‘our’ Henry Jacobs married Kitty Moses- there is a Gt Synagogue marriage record. Also, I found a reference to a Kitty Jacobs in the Old Bailey trials where she says her husband has a glass shop.You need to be aware that my Benjamin Hart line-my 4 great grandfather- married into the HENRY MOSES line through Rosa Hart...

 I had a bit of a breakthrough with the interpretation of Hyamson tree late last night. I assume that you have a copy of this tree Debbie, if not we can e mail a copy. I was looking at the 1851 census entry for Jacob (John) Jacobs (son of David senior) a retired butcher and widower. He was living with...

 What do you think of this entry in GS marriages.  GSM 282/35 1832 [4 Jul] JACOBS Ezra Ezra, Desc. from a Privd. Memb Jacob Coppel SIMMONS Fanny Fegele Simon  Could this be the same Ezra and he has remarried? It is an unusual name and both have a father Jacob Coppel.[Peter Wales]

Done a bit of Digging too, Henry Jacobs, Jacob/John’s son is on the GSM as private member married to a Rebecca Isaacs 1841. I can trace Henry still on the 1881 census with his daughter Sarah (now Swabe – though can’t trace that spelling). Daughter is down as butcher widowed at 4/34 Duke Street. The thing that ties back to...

I also noticed Phillis is a Jacobs too (Jacob’s wife) her father is down as Hirsh Wassertrager, which I think would translate as Henry the Water Carrier/ Bottle. I am assuming that related to her father’s occupation. Is it worth trying to trace him to see if Phillis was a distant or close cousin of Jacob[Debbie Bozkurt]

 Clever, just looked and found an Ezra on the 1881 census a Butcher,  8 Bell Lane as per JC data. Had found this in the JC but ignored it, was looking for Phillis, Henry’s daughter. Interesting….. Found Sarah Swabe nee Sarah Jacobs, Henry’s daughter living 140 Houndsditch Butcher. She is difficult to trace as they can not get her name right,...
