Jacob Levy disappears after 1830

[nikkastar]

My ancestor, Jacob Levy, lived in London and was married to an Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). Elizabeth is listed as a widow on the 1841 British census. Their daughter, Milcah, (known to us as Amelia)was my great-great-grandmother. Their other children were Lewis, Joseph, Guldah, and David.
I would really like to know more about this family.

Hi
Just to put a time to your Jacob for those wishing to help.

Refer to this thread posts 140, 141, 142 and 143.

So born c1876/78 in England.

I have also moved the thread to the Jewish Roots forum with the title Jacob Levy disappears after 1830.

Good luck with it,

Christina

Thanks so much, Christina!

I am estimating that Jacob Levy was born around 1766/1767.

Can you confirm the records from which you found the above information, as you will appreciate Jacob Levy is a very common name.
But here is a longshot which could be wrong

Anne, Kevin and for other Jacobs relatives- as a very brief re-cap there is significant data on the Jacob/Elizabeth Levy lines written by myself and other Jacobs cousins. This data includes records with sources- see jacobstree.co.uk which is a website set up several years ago by Dave Simpson as part of detailed research into our lines. Anne - see article I wrote with Dave in 2011 on the Levy Family which contains the specific records and sources on the Jacob/Elizabeth Levy lines. In addition, I wrote on this forum about some of the children of Jacob and Elizabeth.
The Will of Elizabeth Levy suggests Jacob was dead circa 1827.
Anne please take a close look at the Jacobstree data and the 2011 article and let me know if there is any missing data ( we don't know when Jacob died or what the cause of death was nor do we know the maiden name of Elizabeth. Did you see the specific BG posts on the children?

See BG Forum thread Louis Norton 1798-1853-Solicitor first post 7.11.2013- this post provides data on Elizabeth wife of Joseph Levy eldest son of Elizabeth/Jacob. Elizabeth married Louis Norton on the death of Joseph.
I think I also wrote about David Levy son of Elizabeth/Jacob and there maybe other posts which I have forgotten.

Hi, Phillip! I do have extensive knowledge on Elizabeth Levy and her children already thanks to you and David. I am really just trying to find out more about Jacob, the father, because so little is known about him. I am also interested to find out Elizabeth's maiden name but I know both these things are a long shot to find. Of course, this makes it all the more interesting for me.
