Hi Eve, I have been researching the Jamaican Lewis/Levy line to see if there is any link between Sir George Henry Lewis (Sophia's nephew) and the Lewis/Levy line that I am related to (see thread on...

Hi Phillip,

Thanks I read the will again and there is a date before the start of the will which says will of H L Lewis En? 1st October 1819. At the end of the will before the codicil its dated 14...

Error in my last post the will was proven in 1831

The will of Henry Lewis Levy is dated 1819 and was not proven until 1830. However there is an article in the Kentish Gazette in October 1817 where Sophia advises that the business of her late husband...

Have discovered a number of articles in the Royal Gazette of Jamaica that refer to Sophia L, Lewis taking over the business of her late husband Henry L Lewis and Benjamin Levi being the surviving co...

In trying to map out the family of Moses Levi, I note that in the will of Benjamin Levi, (possibly) son of Moses Levi of Canterbury he lists as his brother in law Hyman Hurwitz. England & Wales,...

Thanks Phillip.

I realised in my previous post that Manes Leib is from Ramsgate, I was confusing Ramsgate and Canterbury. Manes is possibly Emanuel so looking for an Emanuel Levi(y) from...

Philip, Alan,

I know I have mentioned this before but GSM 068/2 lists the marriage of Henri Levi father Manes Leib of Ramsgate to Isabella Isaac in 1802. Could Isabella be Miriam Bell Isaacs. If...

Alan, Allan, Phillip,

Alan, Allan, Phillip,

have come across this information in the Kentish Gazette Friday 16th April 1790

"On Wednesday Last was married, at the Great Hall, near the New Synagogue, London, Mr. Noah...

Phillip,
thanks, the reason I am considering Moses Levi is that if he was the father of Noah then this would solve the mystery of J (S or L) Louisson listed as Catherine McIntyre's will as an Uncle...

Phillip,
Re #469 I may be getting the wifes of Levy and Joel mixed up. In summary we are saying that Joel's wife Bloomy is the daughter of Moses Levi of Canterbury, based on the extract from the...

Phillip,
Re #469 I had Boonley as a Lazarus from PSEM 021, spouse of Levy Isaac (Judah Leib Aleph) so I don't think this is the same person as Booley who is the daughter of Moses Levi.

Allan, Phillip, David,

It appears that Bloomy went by several names. If you look at the PSEM records it appears as though she is listed as Flora bat Moses Leib. PSEM 061 has her married to a Woolf...

David,
thanks I had not seen that article. I did further searches and found that Bloomy was listed as "Broomy" in the newspaper article I found and searching on Lewisson didn't produce a match even...
