      =============================================
      There are many Ancestry Trees that have Rachel marrying Jonas Lipman in 1849.
      However this seems to be an example of the 'Copy & Paste Disease' that seems prevalent on Ancestry these days.
      The Jacobs-Lipman marriage certificate clearly shows that Rachael's father is Judah Jacobs, whereas the Jacobs-Cohen certificate names Lewis Jacobs, Glassdealer as her father.
