    Hi Ann,

    I'm seeing your post belatedly. It's very interesting. I realise that it's easy to read too much into remote DNA matches, especially among descendants of close communities like 18th/early...

    Hi Philip,

    I've just noticed that Israel Levy Isaacs was buried, on 28 March 1852, at Ball's Pond Road cemetery (according to JewishGen records on Ancestry, in row 4, plot 5). You very kindly...

    This doesn't shed new light on the origins of Ann Levy/Isaacs, but is a fascinating read on the life/career of her grandson George Isaacs, a collector/antiquarian in London and later an author in...

    Hi Steve,

    That's a good point. In that scenario, presumably Hannah's mother would've been a sister of Samuel's - unless there's already evidence to contradict that/you're thinking of a different...

    Hi Steve,

    Your posts on Susannah Raphael, Barnet Levy and David/Brynah Harris are very interesting, thank you. I agree that, based on what you've found, the balance of probabilities suggests...

    Hi Steve,

    I think searching around Shoe Lane "parish" is a very good call. It's a shame the insurance policy didn't fit for our Isaac. Incidentally, if Elizabeth Harris (wife of David) mentioned...

    Hi Steve,

    Thank you very much for posting this. It's very interesting. I wonder whether the Barnet Levy (Hebrew name: Parla/Farla/Farleh) I originally identified, i.e. died 1813, has anything to...

    Hi Phillip,

    Thank you so much for checking this. It was definitely worth a shot.

    Hi Steve,

    I agree - it's very puzzling! As I mentioned in the Isaacs-Levy-Garcia thread, Ann's age was disputed in the Chancery case; she claimed to be 85 in 1853 but her son Isaac Levy Isaacs...

    Hi Phillip, Steve.

    On your first point, Phillip, I'm not sure. George Garcia, son of Abraham and Emma, named his parents as Abraham Garcia and Emma Isaac (sic) when he was baptised at St Andrew,...

    Thank you, Sue. I think there may well be a connection to that family, the Ayshfords of Ayshford Court, who built the chapel. It could possibly be via the Ayshfords of Wonwell, a branch of the same...

    Edward Ayshford of Exeter, 17thC

    This is a long shot but I wondered if anyone has researched the Ayshford family and might know the parentage of three 17thC siblings in my tree. I believe I'm descended from Edward Ayshford, a draper...

    Sorry - there's a mistake in my last post. I meant to say that Samuel Isaacs Jr. - not Sr. - may have used family connections in Holland to source Dutch/Flemish Old Masters.

    I think these facts help the case for Samuel Sr. being brother of Joel and uncle of Samuel Jr.:
