    Notes:

    [Roy Parker]
    (Research):Name on Marriage certificate is David Morris, p arents given as Henry and Ellen Morris - born London England

    Name on birth certificate of son Philip (Winnipeg 1888) is David Morris

    Only record in passenger list (1883) is David Morris, destination Winnipeg.

    Shown as David Morris in Winnipeg Directory for 1887,1888.
    Believed to have returned to UK in 1889 (per letter from Ph yllis Parker - when Philip was six months old i.e. about Ju ne 1889)

    Death certificate in January 1899 is for David Jacobs at 19 0 High Holborn
    Birth of Maurice Arthur Jacobs is in Civil Index for 1890
    Birth of David Albert Jacobs is in Civil Index for 1892
    Birth of Ellen Dorothy Jacobs is in Civil Index for 1893

    Widow and all children have surname Jacobs in 1901 Census.

    When and why was he Jacobs?

    Was he a friend of author W.W. Jacobs, whose books he gav e to Philip in December 1898? WWJ's first publication dat e is 1896, but he may have been a coffee-house customer.

    No trace of David Morris born in London in 1862-63
    (David Jacobs born 4Q1862 Marylebone 1A 475)

    Sarah Riley, Servant, Unmarried, 24, Nursemaid, Sheffield , Yorkshire
    Walter Cleaver, Servant, Unmarried, 17, Errand Boy, Woodfor d, Surrey

    First (wrong) Conclusion - born Morris (see 1881 Census RG1 1 Piece 0361 Folio 7 Page 7), Changed to Jacobs after retur n to UK, no known reason.

    Checked with WWJacobs' biographer (Anthony James) 9 Nov 200 4 - 011-44-127 387 1017.
    Nothing in his papers re David Morris. May have frequente d coffee house en route to/from Birkbeck College, but too f ar from workplace (St. Martins-le-Grand) to be visited fo r lunch!.

    1871 Census shows Henry and Ellen JACOBS in Brighton with s on David age 7 and Mears (?Morris) age 15. 1881 census ha s Henry Morris age 23 or 25 and David Morris age 18. Fits...

    This would put David's birth about 1863-1864, matches 189 1 census entry.

    Born Jacobs, used Morris from pre-1881 until return to UK , Jacobs again by 1891.

    Notes:

    From Roy Parker:-
    (Research):Letter from Lilian Jacobs says birthday was in May.

    Age at marriage 19 May 1887 given as 22 - yob 1864 or 1865

    Age at 1871 Census 6 - pob just Middlesex

    Not living with family ( neither Arthur Brown brother nor p arents Harry and Jane Brown) at 1881 Census. She might hav e been a servant somewhere...

    1881 Census RG11 Piece 0247 Folio 6 Page 6 has Emma Brown , age 15 born Gospel Oaks, Middx, working as Housemaid a t 1 Pemberton Terrace. Pemberton Terrace is in Upper Hollow ay, same as Bertram St where rest of Browns are registered . Gospel Oak is in Hampstead/Highgate area (overlaps Uppe r Holloway). Argues yob 1865, but age may have been given i n error by employer.

    1891 Census has age 24 argues yob 1866 if birthday was in M ay

    1901 census shows age at 31 March 1901 was 34, born in Hamp stead. yob would be 1866

    1911 Census gives pob as Gospel Oak, age 45 in 1911

    Death in Peterborough in 1937. Index entry for Emma Robinso n registered at Peterborough 4Q 1937 3b 239 aged 72. Certif icate confirms this is the right Emma Robinson (death regis tered by daughter Phyllis May). Letter from Lilian Jacob s says her birthday was in May. This would put birth in mi d-1865. Correct.

    CRI refs found:
    4Q1864 Hampstead 1A 547 - cert ordered 14 Feb 2005 - not th e right parents. Further, birthplace (Victoria Mews) was to o far from Gospel Oak to be the same Emma Brown as the on e in service at 1 Pemberton Terrace in 1881.

    2Q1865 Pancras 1b 182
    YES, this is the one - born in Kentish Town, next door to G ospel Oak and not far from other address at 22 Bertram St. , Islington

    DOB 14 May 1865 confirms Lilian Jacobs comment and age give n on marriage certificate and death certificate.

    Marriage to George Robinson not found in FreeBMD - 1911 cen sus says 12 years married - puts it just after David Jacobs ' death in Mar 1899, but may have preceded it if divorced . May have been common-law.

    Assume still living together at Ellen's birth in 1893, bu t not by date of will in 1897

    Notes:

    When Henry died his last address was shared with his son-in-law John Wales. Peter Wales gives us the following extra information:-

    "37 Canterbury Place (at the end of the Lambeth Walk). This was the Wales family home up to the 2nd world war, birthplace of all Alice and John's children including my father. It was hit by a bomb, aimed at Waterloo Station, and completely destroyed. If you have ever seen the film passport to Pimlico, it was actually filmed on the bomb site where Canterbury Place once stood."

    We know that Henry spent a number of years in Brighton from around 1858 to 1872.
    This is borne out by entries in the various trrade directories for Brighton.
    However, it would appear that he was originally there in a business and house belonging to David Jacobs, who is possibly his elder brother.

    Birth:
    The entry in Myer Solomon's Circumcision Register fits well.
    Given that it was custom to circumcise a male child about 8 days after birth, this would give us a birth date of 17th September 1831

    Census:
    Berwick Street is missing from the 1841 census.
    "Thank you for contacting The National Archives of the United Kingdom.
    Unfortunately there is no comprehensive published or unpublished list of streets, or other place elements, missing from the census.
    However, we hold some detailed street indexes for London districts, which conform that all of the returns for the Berwick Street sub-district of St James Westminster are missing from the 1841 census." - May 2016

    Notes:

    From Gerry Newnham (email 16-Jul-2010)
    He also doesn't appear on the 1851 database as he was in Ohio/Kentucky at the time, where he married Ellen Silverstone.
    However no documentation of the marriage has been found - yet!
    In any case the Cincinnati records were destroyed in a fire
    around 1870 and although the records have been reconstructed Henry was back in England by then so probably wasn't aware that the authorities were asking people to re-register.

    Died:
    From Peter Wales who found the entry:-

    The cause of death is strange in death certificate which was signed by the coroner who I would imagine would have carried out an autopsy, in view of the unusual circumstances of his death.

    Even in those days you would not be expected to die from fractured ribs.

    I have had a number of these, one of them a double fracture, mainly through football injuries and the hospital do not even take X rays of the injuries.

    Also apart form the initial injury which is a bit painful. there is only discomfort for the next 6 weeks until they are healed.

    If he died from complications as a result of the injury, why does the certificate not indicate it?

    I will try to check Coroner's report/details of inquest next time I am in London but I am not very optimistic that I will find anything.

    The address death occurred is 24 Tenison Street, in the area on the south bank of the Thames between Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges.

    The cemetery records indicated that Moses was living in Soho, prior to his death, so probably it was a friend or relative's house and will try to check 1851 and 1861 census to find out more.

    Oct 2010 - Checked 1851 census for the address where Moses died but he is not listed there - unsurprising as we have him with his wife already.

    Moses married Sarah LEVY on 31 Jul 1815 in London, England. Sarah (daughter of Simon LEVY and Hannah [LEVY]) was born about 1793 in St Martin in the Fields, London, England; died on 25 Mar 1856 in St Pancras, London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Sarah LEVY was born about 1793 in St Martin in the Fields, London, England (daughter of Simon LEVY and Hannah [LEVY]); died on 25 Mar 1856 in St Pancras, London, England.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Name: Sara bat Simcha Segal
    • Reference Number: BR 0035bP
    • Reference Number: BR-J
    • Census: 6 Jun 1841, London, England

    • Occupation: 30 Mar 1851; China Shop Keeper; : 58y

    Notes:

    From Gerry Newnham - March 2011:
    . In the 1851 Census Sarah says she was born in the parish of St Martins in the Fields.

    2. Sarah's marriage record gives her patronymic as "Sara bat Simha Segal" (Harold Lewin's transcript).

    3. Simha equates to Simon.

    4. Searching the Rate Books in the Westminster Archives for the period from
    1793 to 1813 (I have still to check later records) shows only one Simon Levy in St Martin's parish and he is living in Russell Court, off Drury Lane.

    5. Simon's wife, Hannah, appears in an Old Bailey trial as a witness in 1801. The entry in the trial record reads: "HANNAH LEVY sworn. - I am the wife of Simon Levy , who keeps a house and shop in Russel court..." (sic)

    6. It seems Simon LEVY was a reasonably prosperous trader and was insured with the Sun Insurance Co - details awaited.

    7. The inscription on Simon LEVY's grave is:

    "In memory of/Mr Simon Levy/Late of Charles St Soho Square/Obit Jany 30th AM 5587/In the sixty seventh year/Of his life" (died 30 Jan 1827)

    8. In 1825 Moses JACOBS had a shop in Charles Street (now called Soho Street).
