HENRY LEVI -GLASS CUTTER;PHILIP/MORRIS LEVI

[mtw63]

Phillip,

Excuse my ignorance on this, but is there a faster way of searching for glass cutter's relating to the 1754-1921 marriage records? I am using Ancestry and searching for Levy brings up over 12,000 records on this search.

Thanks
Martin

Try using the keyword 'glass' for both Levy and Levi- the records will come up with various names on the Census records plus Directories. I did a quick look and there are very few Levi/Levy listed in the glass trade. You will see china/glass dealers; glass cutters etc.This is borne out by JewishGen London Trade Directory records for Levi.Levy. Take a look using the keyword and see what you discover.

See also the Jacobstree website which contains data on the relationship between Elizabeth Levy glass cutter/dealer/manufacturer and the Jacobs lines. There maybe no relevance to your lines but best to keep all options open.
