Hello Ron and many apologies not the late response.
My Mother's family was Harris through her Father Samuel and his father Joel, Grand Father Benjamin and Grt-Grandfather Nathan. Nathan and Benjamin travelled to the UK from Holland probably first quarter of the 1800s but have yet to establish if they were Dutch. The Harris family also have links to an Issacs Family of Great Yarmouth through Benjamin's second wife.
Please do let me know if our research overlaps and if you require any more info.
Regards
Stuart

Hello Stuart
My father was Joel Harris who I did not know that well as the last time I saw him was at Dalston Junction Railway station just prior to war being declared. My parents divorced. I have been in touch with another member of the family, Gerry Harris is his name we shared fathers

Apologies for replying so late in the day. My 3rd great grandmother was Emma Rebecca Levy d.o.b 1816. Her father was Samuel Levy Issacs. Emma married Abraham Garcia and in 1845 had Frederick William Garcia. He married Sarah Anna James and they had Arthur Sammuel Garcia who married Emma Jane Garcia d.o.b 1882. I think Emma's parents were Lucy Mazaltob Lion d.o.b 1779 amd Abigador Phillip Garcia. I expect after all this time you know alot more than me. I am new to this. Do you know anything about Lucy Mazaltob Lion or Abigador Phillip Garcia? I cannot seem to find their ancestors. Best Wishes. Yve

Regarding Rachel Isaacs nee Davis, wife of Joel Isaacs mentioned in previous posts, I have three dates of birth for Rachel:
1764, based on the find a grave entry, “RACHAEL Wife of JOEL ISAACS WHO DIED APRIL 29 1846, Aged 82 Years”
1771, based on death notices, Bury and Norwich Post 13 May 1846, “Norwich, DIED, On Thursday last, aged 75, Mrs. Isaacs, widow of the late Mr. Joel Isaacs, of this city” and Norfolk News 09 May [Saturday] 1846, “On Thursday last, Mrs. ISAACS, widow of the late Mr. Joel Isaacs, aged 75 years.”
1781, based on the 1841 census entry referenced in earlier posts.
The newspaper death notices suggest that she was of Norwich, but don't give her burial place. The “find a grave” entry refers to a headstone in the Colby Gate Jewish Burial Ground, Great Yarmouth.
The 1841 census entry refers to Isaac Isaacs in Gaol Street, Great Yarmouth, whereas the death records refer to Joel Isaacs. The London Gazette, Publication date:14 June 1831, Issue:18813, Page:1188 mentions that Joel is sometimes known as Isaac Isaacs.
On the face of it, Joel or Isaac Isaacs is the same husband in each case above. But I am puzzled by the 17 year spread of birth dates for Rachel and two different death dates, possibly in two diferent places, Norwich and Great Yarmouth.
I am not actively pursuing this conundrum at the moment as the balance of probability is that I am not a blood relation of Joel Isaacs. My main reason for this posting is that I don't think I have previously seen any reference to the newspaper death notices and hope they will prove useful to someone researching this line.

Hi Steve
For other researchers the GRO Death Index ( main GRO site) gives Rachel Isaacs June qtr 1846 Yarmouth 13 265 age 75. It would be interesting to see who the informant was.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

See the website International Jewish Cemetery Projects.The Old Jews'Burial Ground Colbys Gate Yarmouth. The 1928 newspaper reference to the tombstone of Joel and Rachel Isaacs with both their year of death 1846 and Rachel's age at death of 82 suggests that one informant gave an age of 75 on the Death record and a family member/relative gave another for the inscription. The Hebrew inscriptions were faded by 1928 and could have revealed more details.
