Hi Jess
I have just joined the site and think I may be able to help with the marriage of Abraham Jacobs and Harriet Wright. Harriet married John William Cook at St Saviour in 1878(Jun) with whom she had a son Edward J J born 1880(Mar). Sometime between 1881 and 1891 she left her husband, leaving Edward with him.
She had 2 more sons William born in 1882 and Charles born in1884, although they were both registered as Cook it is unsure whether they were John Cook's children as their births were registered in a different location. However, in the 1891 census Abraham and Harriet are living in Newington with their family and William and Charles are called Jacobs.
Abraham Jacobs and Harriet Cook married in 1932(Mar) at Southwark, after the death of Harriet's husband, John W Cook in 1932 (Mar).The index number is Southwark 1d 56.
Harriet's son Charles , was my husband's grandfather (whom he never met) and it has taken a lot of searching to work things out, with the confusion over the Cook/Jacobs surname. We are still unsure who was Charles' father as on his marriage certificate he names him as Charles Abraham Cook !!!!

Thank you
Hi Elvia
I have no idea how you managed to work this out - it's just fantastic, I tried for months to find a marriage record for Abraham Jacobs and Harriet Wright and could not get to the bottom of it.
I have been researching the Jacobs family for the friend of a member of my family. I have passed the information you have given me to her and it has re-started her interest in her family history. She is going to send off for Abraham and Harriets marriage certificate.
Thank you so much for passing this information to me - your researching skills are quite amazing.
Best wishes
Jess

Thank you very much for your offer Michelle. I have recently received a reply from another member of the B-G Forum which has clear up the mystery of Abraham and Harriet's marriage. However any information on the Jacobs family would be gratefully received. I don't think I have left a message on the JewishGen.Com site - it's been a while since I researched this family - so, I would love to take you up on your offer.
Thank you very much for your reply.

Hi Jess
So pleased that the info has helped with your friend's research. Which of Abraham and Harriet's children was her ancestor ?Their daughter Rosetta was a witness at Charles' marriage to Sophia Smith (my husband's grandparents ) in 1908.

ABRAHAM JACOBS & FAMILY
See Cemetery Scribes F2336 for details of Abraham Jacobs and his family. In particular, there are details of the marriage of Abraham's son Edward to Rachael Mordecai.
