HENRY LEVY LEWIS

The Lipman Levy who appears in the 1841 Census age 15 in hospital ( you refer to him in post 1 of this thread) is not the same person as the Lipman Levy age 19 -farm labourer- parents Joseph and Catherine- mother alive who appears in the NSW Assisted Passenger Lists. The reason being that this Lipman Levy arrived in NSW 26 April 1841 whereas the 1841 Census was taken on 6 June 1841. Ages were rounded down for the 1841 census but Lipman could not have been in two different places some 10000 miles away within 2 months of arriving in Australia.
You might want to cross check your other data to see if you have the right people on your family tree.
I too also have Myers as one of my main paternal line including my 5x great grandmother Eve Myers but she is not the same person as the individual on your tree. However, I am interested in the various Hart/Myers/Moses/Levy not the least because I am always looking for potential family connections. I will look further into your lines. There maybe no connection just a commonality of surnames which is not unusual in Anglo Jewish research.

Phillip, the record I have for Lipman arriving in NSW is December 26 1841 on the ship Lalla Rookh, obviously if it had been April 26 I would have known it wasn't him! Given the details you quote it sounds like we have the same record - maybe you could check the dates on yours and get back to me?

I know from Lipman's obituary that he was in the Jews' Hospital as a youngster and that his mother was still alive when he died in 1880.

I am confident I have the correct Catherine - she lived with or next door to her daughter Frances Abrahams until she died and shortly afterwards Frances came to NZ with her daughter Dinah. The address in her final census (1881) is the same as on the probate record, and Frances and daughter are next door to her.

In 1841 she is listed with Fanny and Benjamin
In 1851 she is listed with Benjamin as a widow

I can't find her in 1861 but will look for that record next.

Alfred Lipman Levy is someone else - he is on my tree but is related only through marriage.

The John Chapman executor makes sense - he was the headmaster of Ealing School - which at the time of Catherine's death was a Jewish boys' school.
