Thanks for the information Phillip, I will pass it on. Im helping a friend (John Louisson) research his family. It was a surprise to find out that the surname was originally Isaac. So its taking time to take in all this new information. You have been a great help. I'm not sure I understand was you are talking about in post #40, unless it was the marriage of George to Julia, if so I found it on

May help - see my comments 465 on HENRY LEVY LEWIS-SOPHIA LEVY LEWIS threads.
It looks as if Joel Isaacs in fact changed his name to Lewisson when he was in Holland during Buonapart's occupation (1806/8), presumably after, and/to escape the Kent court hearing in 1808. Any thoughts welcome
