• Notes

  From Gerry Newnham - March 2011: . In the 1851 Census Sarah says she was born in the parish of St Martins in the Fields. 2. Sarah's marriage record gives her patronymic as "Sara bat Simha Segal" (Harold Lewin's transcript). 3. Simha equates to Simon. 4. Searching the Rate Books in the Westminster Archives for the period from 1793 to 1813 (I have still to check later records) shows only one Simon Levy in St Martin's parish and he is living in Russell Court, off Drury Lane. 5. Simon's wife, Hannah, appears in an Old Bailey trial as a witness in 1801. The entry in the trial record reads: "HANNAH LEVY sworn. - I am the wife of Simon Levy , who keeps a house and shop in Russel court..." (sic) 6. It seems Simon LEVY was a reasonably prosperous trader and was insured with the Sun Insurance Co - details awaited. 7. The inscription on Simon LEVY's grave is: "In memory of/Mr Simon Levy/Late of Charles St Soho Square/Obit Jany 30th AM 5587/In the sixty seventh year/Of his life" (died 30 Jan 1827) 8. In 1825 Moses JACOBS had a shop in Charles Street (now called Soho Street).
