    Default Tasmania missing

    HELP

    I have a family who do not appear on the 61 or 71 census in the UK I believe they went to Tasmania
    where perhaps a couple of family members died (sorry to be vague) though Cohen they also used the name Israel all a bit odd. Solomon married Susannah in a church but maybe she converted later as she became know as Sarah .. the family lived in Brighton

    Solomon Cohen born London 1796
    Sarah (Susannah) Cohen nee Rock born Linton Herefordshire around 1800

    Son Abraham Cohen born 1829
    In 1851 he is living in St John St Clerkenwell London with his wife Judith (b1823) at the home of his mother in law Welcome Cohen (born 1801) and her son David born in 1829,
    Judith Cohen and Abraham Cohen married on the 1st of MARCH 1848 at Bevis Marks Synagogue on their records he is shown as Abraham Israel

    they had three children
    Jacob J b1850
    Solomon J B 1853 (Australia)
    and Sarah 1873 !!!!!2

    One added not Judith has an uncle Benjamin a'cohen who was transported to Tasmania Australia sentenced to 14 years he died in an accident he was transported 1841! on the lord lyndock he was born around 1800

    Hi Kevin
    I will start to fill in data for you to look at and confirm- see the Victoria Australia Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists - Enoch Cohen 36 Dealer; ABRAHAM Cohen Dealer 28; JUDITH Cohen 28; JACOB Cohen 2 - Departure Port London Arrival 10 November 1852 Port Phillip Bay Ship Severn. There are several family trees on Ancestry.Com which have the lines and they record: Solomon Cohen 1796-1860 m Susannah ROCK 1801-1862. Their son Abraham Israel Samuel Cohen 1829 -Brighthelmstone Sussex - April 1874 married Judith Cohen 1823-1899. Happy to 'flesh' out records for you.

    Sorry re reading... Enoch is meant to be the son of Solomon and Sarah (Susannah) and brother of Abraham but I can find no trace of his birth. This is where it gets mysterious I can not find where Solomon comes from and Enoch is very much a name associated with Judiths family her Grd Father is Enoch(Hanoj) who may or may not have come from Portugal. Also both familys are confectioners

    Lets not get side tracked you have been brilliant
