1165 From Manfred Lindner's notes:-

Marrriage License No. 615836, State of Illinois, dated 18 Dec., 1912, Manfred Lindner and Hannah De Costa Marks. Was in the tobacco leaf business for many years in Chicago (before ca 1920), later became a mortgage broker.

His precise birthplace was unknown. I was unable to find his birth certificate in the Cook County records for 1879, his date of birth, although the 1880 federal census for Chicago listed his birthplace as Illinois. The answer may lie in the
exact time when his parents moved from the small town of Monticello, IA (where his older brother was born), to Chicago. It may thus be that Manfred, Sr. was also born in Iowa, but official records were not kept there until thr year 1880. 
LINDNER, Manfred Sr (I4346)
 
1166 From Manfred Lindner's notes:-

Emigrated to US in 1886
Living in Massachusetts in 1910 census Boston Ward 19 Suffolk
On board Catalonia with Martha and Esther to Boston 
WOLLY (WOOLLEY), Julia (I4377)
 
1169 From Nellie Johnson:-

Samuel is believed to be a son of Moses and Sarah, this is the story that has been passed down the family.

Unfortunately neither of his marriage certificates give, or even have a space for, a father.

He went to Australia before 1849 (he married in Hobart in 1849)
Moved on to New Zealand before 1869 (1st wife died in Hokitika in 1869)
The family moved to Holitika in approximately 1862. Samuel was still a general dealer, with a store in Revell St. Hokitika.

After Samuel married Emma Bristow in 1876 they moved to Christchurch in the late 1870's early 1880's.
Samuel died bankrupt so Emma and the children had to live with Henry (Samuel's son to Fanny) and his wife Charlotte.



We do however have a newspaper cutting which does, I believe, tie Samuel to Lawrence as brothers and thereby prove the connection.

There is an entry in the West Coast Times that gives the death of Lawrence Jacobs of Eastern Road, Emerald Hill, Melbourne, and refers to his beloved brother Mr S Jacobs of this town. (i.e Hokitika) 
JACOBS, Samuel (I824)
 
1170 From Nellie Johnston:
George White married Mary Mahoney and had 4 children, one of whom was Alan White 
WHITE, Unknown (I4672)
 
1171 From notes received from Shlomo Katanka (Aug 2015) there is a suggestion that after Grace died, he married Gloria Hill (nee Platnauer) in 1960. Daughter of his mother in law by her second marriage
Henry Samuel SAMUEL is husband of half sister of Gloria PLATNAUER
 
SAMUEL, Henry Samuel (I4794)
 
1172 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. 
JACOBS, Moses (I391)

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.

1174 From Phil Kirby via British Genealogy
https://www.british-genealogy.com/threads/84819-FRANCIS-NORTON-JULIA-JACOBS
The story of Maria is not a happy one and I will describe. She married Horace Wilfred SPAFFORD in 1904:
GRO Marriage Certificate
St Alban's Church Acton Green Middlesex
April 23 1904
HORACE WILFRED SPAFFORD 45 bachelor Brush Maker 118 St Albans Ave-father John SPAFFORD (deceased) Clerk
MARIA NORTON 41 spinster 118 St Albans Ave-father Francis NORTON (deceased ) Solicitor
Witnesses-John Pentecost; Alice Wordward?

The 1911 Census shows Horace living alone and Maria did not appear in the 1911 Census. Further research shows the reason for the separation.
1911 (Copyright,TNA)
2 Curzon Road Ealing London W
Horace Wilfred Spafford H 52 Married 6 years no children Brush maker Worker b Hull Yorkshire
5 Rooms

Horace appears in later London Electoral Register records living at:
1908 19 St Georges Road Acton Green and another house 118 St Albans Avenue and by 1927 -297 High Road Hounslow.
8 Kingswood Road Acton 1919-22

Horace died in 1934.
GRO Death Index Horace W SPAFFORD age 76 b abt 1858 Sept qtr 1934 Brentford 3a 132..

Maria did not appear in any Electoral Rolls. The following records give the reason:

London Workhouse Admission and Discharge Registers-

Maria Spafford b 1863 Teacher of Music Married Husband lives at 19 St Georges Road Bedford Park - Admitted 3.10.1908 discharged 16.10.1908

Westminster Workhouse Maria Spafford 45 Music Teacher 19 St Georges Road Bedford Park- she is recorded incorrectly as Maria SPIFFORD by Ancestry.Com:
Doctor's Report
Maria had been found wandering by the Police at Walton Road 5.15 am where a crowd had gathered. She was behaving incoherently and unable to speak clearly. On admittance to the workhouse 31 Oct 1908 she was unable to talk coherently; she stared into space; heard voices and sounds and talked to herself. She did have more coherent moments but also stated that her food was being poisoned and that her husband was not living with her although Horace denied this. She did not want to return to him. There is a full report on Maria with descriptions of other behaviour.

She was discharged to the Infirmary ( the note on an earlier record is difficult to read). I do not know what happened to her between 1908 and 1917.
However, in 1917 Maria appears at Fulham Britten Street Old and New Workhouses - 12.6.1917 Maria SPAFFORD to HANWELL ASYLUM

This is The London County Asylum Hanwell 1889-1917

This maybe a GRO Death Index Record for Maria but a copy is required to confirm:
Maria SPAFFORD b abt 1865 Age 82 Death June qtr 1947 Wandsworth 5d 649

Base on current research it appears that the Francis Norton and Julai Jacobs line ended with the death of Maria and her sister Dinah because they had no children and Dinah appears not to have married. 
NORTON, Maria (I5003)
 
1175 From Phil Kirby [11/04/2016]

Data on Moses Levy and his wife can be seen on Cemetery Scribes see Moses Levey(Levey) Moshe b Eliezer c 1788-1870 ID 2310 and Miriam (Miriam b Yekutiel) 1805-1855 ID 2309.

Moses Levy was a rag merchant. He appears in London Trade Directories and Insurance policies from at least 1835- Moses Levy Rag Merchant 109 Gravel Lane,Pigot.

In a newspaper article headed Brutal Results of the Poor Law- The Standard Fri Dec 18, 1835.."Mr Levy ( a merchant) residing at 109 Gravel Lane who went to the parish authorities and pledged himself to pay all expenses..." This was in respect of him seeking to help a destitute woman.

His wife Miriam aka Mary has a rare monument depicting her image - see Cemetery Scribes link.

The Morning Post Weds Sept 6, 1837.."Mr Levy 109 Gravel Lane Houndsditch general rag merchant, stated that having a large quantity of old paper to sort he employed several young women to do the work".

Moses Levy and Miriam had at least 10 children:
Hannah 1822-1895; Isreal 1824; John 1826-1872; Rosetta 1829-1921; Isaac 1832-1858; Sarah 1834; Lewis 1836-1902; Isabella 1838-1902; Rebecca 1840-1909; Mtalida 1844-1888.

However, in the Old Bailey Trials 13 Dec 1847 regarding a theft a witness Samuel Levy appeared and stated "I am a rag mercahnt 109 Gravel Lane Houndsditch.." I am unsure who Samuel maybe.

1176 From Phil Kirby:
Death- Jewish Chronicle May 30 1913 0n the 23rd May, Julia Norton, only daughter of Dinah JACOBS late of Camberwell. Buried Willesden Cemetery, the 28th of this month

Late Reversion to Jewish Charities
Jewish Chronicle June 6 1913

Under the will of the late Mr Benjamin JACOBS who died 2 February 1899, large bequests were made to Jewish charities subject to an annuity to Mrs Julia Norton, the testator's sister. Mrs Norton died on the 16th ult. and after various small payments, the trustees will proceed to the distribution among the beneficiary charities.

Jewish Chronicle Friday Jan 19 1900
"In ever loving memory of BENJAMIN JCOBS, who died the 2nd Feb 1899... the dearly beloved brother of Mrs Julia Norton of 196 Camberwell New Road SE. Gone but not forgotten. God rest his dear soul".

1179 From Roy Parker:
Cannot find a marriage for Emma and George at the right time.
There is one in Q4 1911 though, in St Pancras? 
Family: / Emma BROWN (F1501)
 
1180 From Roy Parker:-
(Research):Letter from Lilian Jacobs in 1999 says died some years ago. No sign of this one 1984-2006, must be pre-1984... 
JACOBS, Anthony David (I4643)
 
1181 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
