Having briefly read the article on Wikipedia Marriage Allegations,Bonds and Licenses it appears that Sidney and Cecilia married by license because her father was against the marriage. They then had a full Jewish ceremony to confirm the marriage. Some of the licenses only lasted three months but we would need to read more fully about the conditions.
If Cecilia had been a convert to Judaism then usually there would be a reference to this in the marriage contract-kettubah.

This is a record for the burial of Cecilia Levien nee Phillips-Montego Bay-Parish of St.James The old Burial Ground Union Street- 1351 Cecilia wife of Sidney Levien 30th June 1865 aged 58 Leaving several children and grandchildren. There is an additional note stating that the synagogue fell into disrepair and pre 1958 a commercial firm had acquired the burial site and only three tombstones remained.

Ah ok thank you Phillip so they were two Jews marrying each other, thank you for clarifying that. In that case, according to the obituary, at least some of her family did go to some lengths to prevent the marriage for some reason. Bizarre to have the 2 marriages, but as you say there could be all sorts of reasons behind it.

These maybe the parents of Cecilia Phillips. Her Hambro Synagogue Marriage record has her father's Hebrew name Mr Sampson. I am aware that the spellings of surnames vary considerably for the time. Some online family trees have her father as Samuel Phillips and Anna Nathan.
Synagogue Scribes PSEM 175 have Samuel Phillips Hebrew name Samson 1806 Synagogue Record -father Judah mother's forename Phoebe=Hannah Nathan (Nb the advanced search on the site is not currently working to enable me to see further data on Hannah) There is a note on the Synagogue Record to say that Samuel/Hannah went to Jamaica in 1818.
This Jamaica link to Samuel Levien may suggest that these are the parents of Cecilia.
There is a burial record for a Mrs Anna Phillips wife of the late Samuel Phillips Esq of Montego Bay and daughter of the late Philip Nathan Esq of Portsmouth 7 Nov 5592 aged 46 leaving 8 orphan children. She died 1831/32.
I can't currently see a burial for Samuel Phillips.When Samuel Levien married Cecilia Phillips in London May 1830 it looks as if her father may have been dead and her mother died the 1-2 years later.
Who were the 8 orphan children and was Cecilia considered to be one of them?
The parents, if they are those of Cecilia, were Jews.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

You can see my blog on Louisa Salomons on Cemetery Scribes website. Gaby Laws posted it today and kindly added a picture of St.Luke's Finsbury.
The following may or may not be the father/mother/siblings et al of Hannah Nathan aka Anna who married Samuel Phillips- see Synagogue Scribes NA 385 Philip Nathan of Portsmouth 29 Nov 1825. In his will he specifies that any bequest he made to his daughters would only occur if they married a person of the Jewish religion and born of Jewish parents. He names Harriot his daugher as Harriot Phillips Montego Bay. The question is whether or not she is Hannah aka Anna Phillips nee Nathan.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

Ok I have re-read the paper and it definitely states that Louisa (Salomons) Elliot was buried in a lead coffin which was found in bay 3 of the Church Crypt. The coffin was found intact therefore according to the diocesan rules would not have been opened so the skeleton was not analysed. According to the same rules the coffin should’ve been sleeved on site and reburied. I think they cleared everything out of the crypt so that they could refurbish and reuse the listed Church building.
In the summary on p 13 it states that the work comprised the exhumation of all the burials in the northern and southern churchyards as well as clearance of all burials in the crypt. A total of 1O53 burials have been recorded and removed.
As Louisa was in the crypt I take that to mean her coffin was removed for reburial elsewhere, but I couldn’t see any reference to where that would be.
On Page 283 the paper makes mention of using redundant churches or crypts for reburial but seems to be saying that this would be for burials that would be of interest for future research so that they could be accessed more easily, which presents the question what happens to those eg intact coffins which they can’t do research on due to reasons of dignity and respect ie Louisa ? No mention of that.

This maybe the father of Anna Nathan who married Samuel Phillips. The key issue is the first name Harriott in the will but known as Harriett Phillips of Montego Bay.Synagogue Scribes will extracts NA 385 Philip Nathan 29 Nov 1825 Merchant Portsmouth. In his will he specifies that any bequests to his children will only be honoured if they marry a person of the Jewish religion and both parents must be Jewish.
Further research is needed on this line to confirm whether or not it relates to Hannah aka Anna Phillips of Montego Bay.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

This is the Synagogue Scribes will extract NA 858 for Rosy Nathan widow of Philip Nathan of Portsmouth 1831- in her will she refers to her children including Hannah Phillips. This will coupled with that of Philip Nathan suggests that Hannah is the wife of Samuel Phillips Montego Bay Jamaica. In which case, is Cecilia one of their children?
