• Notes

  Phil Kirby discovered a book in April 2016 which included much information about Lawrence and his family. For copyright reasons it can't be reproduced here, but I have included an extract. In his book 'Wealth and Notoriety the extraordinary families of William Levy and Charles Lewis of London' [Robert Ward, April 2013, Lulu Publications], Ward outlines the relationship between Lawrence Levy c 1803-1873 husband of Rebecca Jacobs c 1804-1874 daughter of Henry Jacobs/Kitty Moses and sister of Amelia. See Chapter 6. He cites that Their [Lawrence & Amelia Levy] eldest son, Edward Lawrence Levy, became one of the most notorious fraudulent solicitors in Victorian England The book can be seen, in part, on Google Books:- https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=QnTUBAAAQBAJ&pg=PP1&dq=wealth+and+notoriety&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=wealth%20and%20notoriety&f=false
