My great great grandad John Lewis Isaacs put Lewis Isaacs, broker as his father on his 1837 marriage cert.
His brother...

Looking at Leon Isaacs who I assume is the son of Lewis Isaacs and Catherine (Caroline) Pyke.. because he says this in his Australian immigration papers 1842.
His marriage GSMa 002/30 says he was...

OK Phillip
Just read your message.
I did rewrite the will into a word doc and figured out most of the info in it.
It may prove to be the most promising lead I've found. Children: Hannah 1772...

Can you read a PAF5 file or should I convert it for you?
Allan

They would be very interesting Phillip. Perhaps Lewis Isaacs the Jeweller and his wife Jane?
My g...g grandad Asher Benjamin's daughter Jane Benjamin married Lipman Hart 1808-1903.

Looks like your Moses...

Thanks for your quck reply Phillip. As you can imagine I'm pretty keen to crack the mystery.
Do you have access to the will of Isaac Isaacs 1801? There are 4 pages (I think it was on Ancestry). If...

Hi Christina
I have re-read my earlier contributions and also corresponded with Louisson relatives in the past.
Looking for my Lewis Isaacs is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are...

After donkeys years I'm still trying to bash through a brick Wall re my relative Lewis Isaacs.

Phillip
We covered this of course ages ago. Rachel being the separated wife of Cecil, brother of George. She gives "Married" as her state and later, as she lived in Leman Street till her death 11...

Very useful lead there Phillip. I had something similar from other sources: Boonley Lazarus 1729-Jan 1814 Portsmouth married to Levi (Judah Lieb ben)(Reb Leib Aleph) Isaacs b 14 Jan 1723 Aub,...

If you bash on and follow up this lead you'll find an article in the Kentish Gazette from Friday 15th October 1790.
This records the marriage of Miss Bloomy Levy to Joel Isaacs of Portsmouth...

Yes Phillip
Debbie was looking for a link to Geoff Lloyd of NZ. Geoff is now Geoff Isaacs, so you can see a link was indeed proven, however not to Leon but to John Lewis Isaacs my g g grandad. My g...

OK Phillip
I recall the previous posts. Lots of data since then, but still no link and still a brick wall.
That "John Lewis Isaacs" looks like a typo as the same chap is referred to by three names...

I have the odd newspaper reference Phillip, but you seem to found a few more.
I picked up the following children:-
Sarah Isaacs 1842-1917 married Samson de Groen ?-1882 in 1862... eleven children...

I found references to provide the following:-
1811 B WHITECHAPEL

1837 MARRIES HANNAH BENJAMIN, BIRMINGHAM
1839 FIRST CHILD DIES AT BIRTH ...

My 3rd great grandfather was Lewis Isaacs, a broker. He must have been born circa 1786.
I know his name because his son John Lewis Isaacs declared this when registering his marriage to Hannah...

Phillip
I guess I'm trying to confirm that Joel Isaacs was George Melville Louisson's father.
From the Kent Assizes his age is given as 48 in March 1808 so his birth year would be 1759 or 1760....

Did you find the 1809 piece Phillip
From the wording he paid sureties of £1,000 and freed because the chief witness didn't turn up.
Then does it say there's a £200 reward for bringing him back to...

Hi Phillip
There's several newspaper articles about Joel Isaacs of Portsmouth in the British Newspaper Archive, now part of Find My Past to which I subscribe.

The Louisson family.
They do seem to just magically appear in Portsmouth about 1800, but the Jamaica link via Rachel Isaacs might provide the answer. A search of Ancestry indicates slaves, mostly in...

Hi Phillip
I've been busy with my day job so haven't responded to latest comments.
Debbie on the Isle of Lewis was instrumental in bringing my 3rd cousin Geoff Lloyd now Geoff Isaacs, into touch...

Joseph Pyke (1804-1902) married Sarah Magnus (1829-1893) on 16 Jan 1850. I believe this line results in Magnus Pyke (1908-1992) the TV "mad" professor via Joseph's 11th child Robert Bond Pyke & Clara...
