This new thread is a continuation of the previous posts which have provided data on the children of John Levey and Gertrude Lyons. In this post I will provide data on John Levy and Amelia Morris and their children. John Levey was born in Montreal Canada circa 1848 - date of death unknown. He married Amelia Morris abt 1868-1932 daughter of Isaac Morris and Rebecca Simons? Cemetery Scribes have data on the Morris/Simons line up to the 1861 Census. However, in the 1871 Census Isaac Morris is a widower and by 1881 had re- married following the death of Rebecca in 1870- see Isaac Morris ID 11830 b abt 1836 and Rebecca Simons 1836-1870 ID 11831. There appears to be a question regarding the original surname of Rebecca on several family trees and confirmation is needed.
There is a marriage between Isaac Morris and Hannah Davis Sept qtr 1871 London 1c 186 and reference in one family tree to a marriage in the Great Synagogue 2 August 1871.
In the 1871 British Census Isaac Morris appears as a widower:
