For clarity ( I have seen your earlier posts on another site) are you researching see Synagogue Scribes site GSM 067/6 Marriage Hannah Harris father's Hebrew name Hirsh; Jacob Levi father's Hebrew name Yehuda EnglandeR- Married 20 May 1802.
Do you also want to add your current data on the couple because you also refer to Solomon/Salamon lines.

On a previous post on another site you refer to the marriage certificate you hold for Louis Levi and Mary Ann Rowland. You did not post any details of this certificate and my advice would be to post full details. You mentioned in this early post that Louis was involved in glass cutting and glass manufacturing.As you maybe aware from numerous posts on this forum I have Jacobs and Levy/Levi ancestors who were heavily involved in the glass trade including manufacturing in London.
It would help researchers if you stated very clearly what you currently know about the various individuals you want to research further.

I am going to post census data on Elias Levi aka Louis Levi for the help of other researchers and to make explicit the individuals you are researching.
There is also a note on by another researcher on an Ancestry Com census record for Elias aka Louis Levi which suggests that he maybe related to the J Lyons ( Lyons tea houses) line. Looking at the data posted by Louise on Rootsweb it appears that Elias aka Louis married twice but specific reference is required from records to clarify this.

The London Marriages and Banns records show that three of the children of Elias Levi aka Louis Elias Levi married non Jewish partners- Rebecca Levi married Samuel Bartlett ( on the marriage certificate Lambeth 1862 Rebecca names her father as Louis Elias Levi glass cutter); Sarah Levi married John Robert Jones in Islington 1866 ( she names her father as Elias Levi glass cutter); Joshua Levia aka George Joshua Levi married in 1866 Mary Ann Lampard ( he names his father as Elias Levi glass cutter).
The 1845 London PO Directory has Elias Levi glass cutter 70 Davies St Berkeley Square

I have seen the marriage certificate for Ann aka Annie Levi who married Joseph Smith on 21 July 1866 Lisson Grove - her father given as Louis Elias Levi glass cutter. This is another non Jewish marriage. Also noted on Rootsweb a 2004 message where a researcher was looking for data on Louis and stated that Ann aka Annie died in child birth and her husband committed suicide.

Also noted a snippet from Pigot's London Directory ( no date given) of Elias Levi 15 Oxford Buildings Oxford Street.
When did Louis die?
