Notes:

There is potential for confusion over the records of the Sun Fire Office insurance company.

We have Henry and Philip associated with several properties both singly and jointly.

Unfortunately it is not clear whether this refers to Philip and his BROTHER Henry, or his SON Henry, or even both at different times.

The best indication that we have is that in 1819 we start to get policies as Philip Jacobs & Son.

I have therefore made the assumption that before that date it is the two brothers.

At present it suffices to identify that the Jacobs were associated with these addresses.

When he wrote his will in 1843 he had 5 freehold premises.
Interestingly in his will he names his daughter-in-law Milcha, wife of his son Lewis, with money left in trust with Henry. The implication is that Lewis may have financial troubles.

Looking at a possible wife for Philip Jacobs (1771 - 1845).

I was contacted in December 2014 by Anne Piccoli asking me whether I thought that his wife was Wilmott Gilbert as reported on two Ancestry trees.

Anne was sceptical about it, especially as the surname was 'Jacob' rather than 'Jacobs'

My conclusion is that she is right and this is not the correct marriage.

Updated information can be found at https://jacobstree.co.uk/2014/12/06/philip-jacobs/

My logic is as follows:-

Philip Jacob married Wilmott Gilbert in the parish church of St Luke, Finsbury on the 11th January 1794
This could be OK because it is not unusual for couples of mixed faith to marry in both church and synagogue
A slightly unusual item is that her signature seems to read as Rebecca rather than Wilmott?
As far as I can tell, all the children of 'our' Philip were Jewish
We believe that Philip's wife died before 1844 as she is not mentioned in his will, written 1843.
Looking through Ancestry, we find a burial for Wilmott Jacob in 1824
Whilst this would fit for our Philip's wife, we again have the surname as Jacob
What I believe is more conclusive is that Philip & Wilmott Jacob had two children baptised
1801 Thomas, son of Philip and Willmott Jacob
1803 Eliza, daughter of Philip and Willmott Jacob.
I notice that neither of the two trees on Ancestry have found these baptisms.
No single one of these points is conclusive but I feel the combination of them rules out Wilmott as the wife of our Philip.
