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Unfortunately there is no comprehensive published or unpublished list of streets, or other place elements, missing from the census.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

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.

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.
Dave SimpsonMoses 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]
5. 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:

- 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).

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.

The link here is not 100% at present, but then not everything is.
We know that Henry Jacobs was a Glassman practising in Petticoat Lane.
We know that his father was David Jacobs.
We believe that David Jacobs was also known as David Litzen/Letson.
In an Old Bailey trial of 1795 there is a witness Kitty Jacobs whose husband has a glass business in Petticoat Lane.
In the Great Synagogue Marriage Record transcript there is an entry for a Kitty Moses marrying a Henry Jacobs whose father is David Letson

- Reference Number: BR 0835aP
- Reference Number: BR-J
- Probate: 17 Mar 1827, London, England; Address: Charles Street, Soho Square
Notes:
Hebrew name is from daughter Sarah's marriage entry
From Gerry Newnham - March 2011:-
1. 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).
