• 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.
