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 grandad was Elijah and Geoff's was Lewis, two sons of John Lewis Isaacs.
Our DNA is very close with 45/47 matches.
Sadly, it looks like Leon did not pass his Y-DNA on as his first son Judah died at 11 and his second, Alexander never married (at least I can find no evidence of this). I did find a reference to a William Woolfe Isaacs who died in 1911, but no record other than his death... except
Newspaper record of Death 1897 which mentions "W"
ISAACS.-July 12, at the Hospice, Hannah, third daughter
of the late Leon Lewis Isaacs, and sister of Mrs. S. deFix this text
Groen, Mrs. W. Collins, and A. and W. Isaacs.
If he married there's a chance his DNA was passed on, but up to now...nothing.

Allan-I note on the Australian Jewish Historical Society Journal. Cumulative Index by categories 1939-2010 - names- references to Leon Lewis Isaacs - Sydney and other Isaacs. I have a copy of one of the journals so know what it contains and am aware that specific references to families or individuals can be scant or detailed depending on the specific article. You may want to look at the index and note the various relevant entries. You may want to post on British Jewry for Australian researchers who have access to the AJHSJ and can do 'look ups'.

I have family connections to Sir Isaac Isaacs & his wife Deborah (nee Jacobs) - five of her aunts and uncles lines merge with various Nathan branches from my tree. Their (Sir Isaac' & Deborah) 2 daughters Marjorie & Nancy married my first cousins, both Cohen. And Deborah's sister married one of my Levy great grand uncles. I don't however know anything about Sir Isaac's ancestry and would like to find out.
