Oi! Have now got a few more pieces tied together. Took a few hours, but I've worked out that I have Simeon's parents, though as far as I know they aren't related to me (but possibly to each other).
Okay, here goes.
I went back to synagoguescribes.com to see if I could find sources for a note someone had left on Ancestry.com.
Eliza (Elkela b. Aharon Jacob Cantor) CANTOR married Joseph b. Simon LAZARUS
Reference GSM 170/29 Date 1816 [10 Jul]
Apparently Joseph Lazarus died, though I haven't looked for the source for that yet.
Eliza, now Alice [names both derived from Elizabeth] married again, GSM 249/06 07 Nov 1827:
Family Name LAZARUS
Forenames Alice
Hebrew Name Elkela (widow)
Father’s Hebrew Name Aharon Jacobs
Family Name MIERS
Forenames Isaac Levy
Hebrew Name Isaac (Son of a Privd Member)
Father’s Hebrew Name Hannania Lipman
Eliza/Alice and Joseph LAZARUS had a daughter Catherine, Catherine's surname was changed to MEIRS, her step-father's name.
Catherine (or Kate, as she appears in some census records)married Lewis (Jacob Eliezer) Lazarus:
Reference GSM 353/53
Date 1840 [11 Jun]
Family Name MIERS
Forenames Catherine
Hebrew Name Keila
Father’s Hebrew Name Joseph Yozefa
Family Name LAZARUS
Forenames Lewis
Hebrew Name Jacob Eliezer (Desc. from a Privd Member)
Father’s Hebrew Name Abraham
They (Catherine LAZARUS/MIERS and Lewis LAZARUS) had son Simeon:
births: LAZARUS, SIMEON MIERS
GRO Reference: 1844 S Quarter in WHITECHAPEL UNION Volume 02 Page 551
And Simeon married Florence SOLOMON.
Both Lewis and Simeon were metal merchants in London.
(I keep track of occupations as well as addresses in a way that can be sorted; occupations can be a very handy way of identifying kinships.)
I'm not sure how to work out if Catherine's father Joseph Lazarus and husband Lewis Lazarus were related (uncle and nephew?).
