  	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 Update October 2021 I was contacted by Daniel Cohen with regards to untranslated information on the marriage entry. It would appear that the English translation was not as full as the Hebrew original. Shlomo Katanka also had a look at it for me. The items adjusted are: Bride's Name: In English - Kitty Moses In Hebrew - Keila bat Rachel Moshe Cohen Father's Name: In English - Henry Jacobs In Hebrew - Henry Jacobs, Hirsh ben David Litzig [The Litzig throws some doubt on this being David Litzen] Shlomo's translation 1. ???? ?"? ? ??? ???

• 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. [20]
