Thanks Phillip for this info! This would put Henry's birth (about 1813) after Esther (1806).

Regards,

I will take a break from the Harris/Jacobs lines for the time being but let me know if you want any look ups. In the meantime, as a recap take a close look at JewishGen UK Data base - London Traders and note- Michael Harris King St Westminster Machzor 1807 - no trade given; Meyer Harris clothes salesman 7 Rosemary Lane Sun Fire Records 1819-1825 and Pigot same address 1827-1828 also known as Myer Harris; See also Abraham Harris clothes salesman 1 Rosemary Lane from 1827-1832 in Pigot;Barnet Harris button and trimmings seller 80 Drury Lane Pigot 1836.
There are many other Harris recorded on the data base in clothing trade. Cross check also with UK National Archives Records.
I would develop your Family Tree and add all the relevant primary sources as we have discussed in private e mail messages. Double check you have the right individuals to match the data.
Best wishes
Phillip

Take a look at the posting our distant cousin Gerry Newnham posted on Rootsweb ( Harris-OH) Abraham Harris- Cincinnati 17 Feb 2011. Gerry and I met a couple of years ago in London. He is an excellent researcher and Hannah Silverstone is his 2x great grandmother. Gerry is one of our Jacobs line- see his place in the Jacobs Family tree on our Jacobs website. Gerry refers to Bathsheba Ezekiel in Devon pre USA and asks was Hannah a sister of Abraham because she travelled with him to USA.

I also note the Harris/Levy relationships which Robert Ward has posted on during the Edward Lawrence Levy -solicitor thread. Robert's wife is related to us via the Jacobs lines. Robert has his tree on Ancestry Com.
I believe all these families relate.
Phillip

Ps Can I suggest you post data that you have on your lines so that Gerry/Robert and others can comment

Then see 1841 British Census HO 107 255 11 7 6 ( Crown Copyright,TNA)- Gold Street Tiverton Devon - Florence Ezekiel 45 Pawnbroker b in county No not born England, Scotland yes;Bathsheba Ezekiel 20 b in county Yes; Matilda Ezekiel 20 b in county Yes; Benjamin Ezekiel 13 b in county Yes;Henry Ezekiel 11 b in county Yes;Rebecca Ezekiel 9 b in county Yes;Ezekiel Ezekiel 7 b in county Yes;Florence Ezekiel 5 b in county Yes

Then also see the Synagogue Scribes will extracts for Ezekiel surname- all in Devon
Anne you have already put the US Census data on your family tree but it would be a great help if you posted data from the letters etc you hold on the lines because these are invaluable primary sources which could help other Jacobs and related lines.

Phillip thank you so much for everything. I have added Isaac Harris' brothers and sister that I did not know about on my family tree. I have also added documents for the ones I did know about. I will continue to look at records for the family and let you know if I have discovered anything new. I would never have solved the mystery of our Levy-Jacobs family connection without you. You are AMAZING!!!!!!!! Best wishes from your distant cousin in NY- Anne

[nikkastar]

Florence must have been Bathsheba's ( Abraham's wife) mother. Thank you for this! Anne
