Great Synagogue of London

[rayh]

I have family who were married in the Great Synagogue of London. How can I trace them through the Synagogue. Is there anyone able to do a lookup?

Give us some more information, like names and dates. I have Angela Shire's book of Great Synagogue marriage Registers 1791-1850.

Dear Ladkyis.
Thank you for your interest and you willingness to do this research for me. It will be great to have a more connected source than the work I have been able to do thus far.

Provern material.......
Benjamin Hart b.1851 married Matilda Solomon b.1854.

In the Great Synagogue London on the 10/2/1875.
Both died in NZ after living in Australia until after 1900.
Benjamin's parents....
Zalig Solomon Hart b.c1818
Mary Joel b.c1820
Benjamin's children....
Marion Pauline b.2/7/1875 Chippingdale Terrace Paddington UK.

Charles Henry b.1878 UK.

Alexander Henry b.1878 UK.

Sarah b.1882 UK.
She comes to Australia in 1883 then disappears, until she gets a mention in 1934 when Matilda dies.

..............

After this comes work collected from Family Search AND Freebdm.

Zalig's Children...

Zalig Soloman Hart's father is believed to be Moses who married Elizabeth. Moses died in 1844.

As I say, for part 2 of this I have no proof, paper work or certificates. But I am grateful to all those who have brought me closer to a Jewish history our family hid for at least two generations. A fact I find very sad.

Regards, Ray

I managed a quick look at the book - I am supposed to be sewing but this is more fun - and I found a marriage for a Solomon Hart and Mary Joel these are all the details in the book

1844 33/69
HART Solomon. Pinchas Zelig s of Moshe haCohen
JOEL Mary. Miriam d of Dan HaLevi

in the comments column was this

GSM 1843 (22/50) Probable sister

I looked (of course) and found this

1843 22/50
BENJAMIN Morris. Moshe s of Simcha
JOEL Sarah. d of Daniel

I will look for other stuff later, I really have to get some work done now.

Because my wife is a sew and sew girl I begrudgingly understand and will sit back and hope to hear from you shortly.

ok as far as I can see all the other dates come after 1850 so I don't have anything in the book. However, I think you should take a look at this site

http://www.british-jewry.org.uk/

and have a good rummage. Angela Shire, who did the book on Marriage registers has put all her transcriptions onto this site now and has done a load more too.

You don't have to be a member of the mailing list to look at the site - it is a rootsweb mailing list so membership is free anyway, and it is a very good list. I am a member. but you don't need to join to see the information on the website.
