    Notes 
    • From Jenny & Katrina Cowen:

      "These Are the Names Jewish Lives in Australia 1788-1850" published by The Miegunyah Presss in 2006":

      The following is a direct quote:-

      "SOLOMON, Abraham Jacob
      b. London, 1826-1889
      Constant, 1849; Free
      Married: Dealer, minister: 14 children

      Abraham Jacob Solomon was the grandson of the "world renowned matzah baker" of London of the same name. On 4 July 1849 the 23-year-old Abraham Jacob Solomon of Cutler Street, Aldgate, married Julia Isaacs (Solomon, q.v) of Harrow Alley, Aldgate, in the New Synagogue in London. Chief Rabbi Adler officiated. They arrived, travelling steerage, in Adelaide on the barque Constant on 23 December 1849. The small Adelaide congregation quickly appointed him as the Reader for a salary of 52 pounds a year. Solomon conducted the consecration of the new synagogue building on 5 September 1850. An economic depression in South Australia brought the congregation's agreement to pay Solomon to an abrupt end. There were fewer than 150 Jews in South Australia, and Solomon offered to continue as synagogue reader in an honorary capacity.

      In June 1852 Solomon was appointed Reader at the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation for six months, and then returned to Adelaide. On 22 October 1853 he wrote to the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation: "Being compelled through unforeseen circumstances to leave for Melbourne Port Phillip I am obliged to forgo the position I hold in your congregation as officiating Minister. Believe me Gentlemen it grieves me much that I have to do so after receiving such kind treatment from you all since my return from Melbourne".

    • The following came from Roderick Young in an email - March 2011
      Sometime between 1851 and 1861 Sarah Isaacs left Harrow Alley and moved with two of her unmarried daughters to 1 Watney Street, off the Commercial Road, Whitechapel. And between 1861 and 1871 the women moved again, up the road to 6 Watney Street. After her mother Rebecca's death in 1863, Julia Jacobs went to live with Sarah Isaacs, her grandmother, in Watney Street. Sarah Isaacs died on 27th December 1871 at 6 Watney Street. Her age is given as 86 and the cause of death is given as "Old Age." Julia is recorded as being present at the death and it was she who registered it with the authorities next day. She was 17 years old
