As stated in a previous message the history of the Crawcour dentists is well documented in the family history that myself and my distant cousin have recorded over several years. They are all our relatives.This account includes copies of original newspaper articles as well as other data including wills; family trees; apothecary book; GRO records of births/marriages and deaths.
Amongst the earliest accounts of Samuel Crawcour b 1748- d 1816 ( from Kracow Poland) are newspaper advertisements in 1777-79 in which he offers dental treatment. He was in London at 49 Strand in 1779 but travelling around England including Gloucester and in 1801 Norwich.
His son Barnett Crawcour established himself as surgeon dentist in Norwich in 1809 and further details of Barnett's involvement in the Norwich Jewish community are described in the Susser Archives amongst other sources.
The Crawcour dental family were not French but Anglo Jews.
The family included the following children of Samuel and Rebecca:
Andrew/Barnett/Isaac/Moses/Catherine/Ann/Henry/David. All the children were born in England. We hold detailed records on all the lines.
