Rebecca dau 14
Sarah dau 10

He died June qtr 1867 London 1b 417 age 58 b abt 1809

I cant see him on the 1841 census, but he was a witness at the Old Bailey in 1840, giving his address as Goswell Street: https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/imag...c=184003020154

Many thanks for searching. He is not one of my lines and I am researching on behalf of someone. There are various records on JewishGen and the Old Bailey plus newspaper accounts but as you say he is not present in the 1841 Census.
There is a way of looking at each district on the census but so far I can't see him but have not looked at each district.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

Hello Philip
I did try looking for this family earlier today but didn't find them.
I see from the 1851 census that they were living in the county of Middlesex, the Parish of St Lukes, sub registration district Finsbury which brings up 20 districts to search. Would it help if I did some for you tomorrow? If so just tell me which district numbers to search through.

I manually looked through Goswell Street for 1841 and didn't see him, although it doesn't help that the houses aren't numbered.

You are both very kind to offer to look for Solomon Cowan. His father was Yechutiel HaCohen -Hebrew name which means that Solomon dropped the Cohen last name for Cowan/Cowen.
In the 1841 Census on Ancestry -Browse the Collection the County is Middlesex Civil Parish St.James Clerkenwell Subdistrict Goswell Street-17 Districts.
I did look at numbers of the districts but as jomot1 said there are no numbers which makes 15 Goswell Street hard to locate.
Is there any Cohen/Cowen in the same street?
Unfortunately, I can't process data as I used to be able to do and your help is greatly appreciated.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry
