• Notes

  Married: Maiden Lane Synagogue [Ashkenazi] His father just listed as 'Dead' His occupation is Rag Merchant Both give their ages as 'of Full Age' His address: 5 St Anns Street, Wetsminster Her address: 4 Tyler Street, St James [Same address as 1841 census] ============================================= There are many Ancestry Trees that have Rachel marrying Jonas Lipman in 1849. However this seems to be an example of the 'Copy & Paste Disease' that seems prevalent on Ancestry these days. The Jacobs-Lipman marriage certificate clearly shows that Rachael's father is Judah Jacobs, whereas the Jacobs-Cohen certificate names Lewis Jacobs, Glassdealer as her father. More details can be found on the Jacobs Tree website:- https://jacobstree.co.uk/2020/02/22/rachael-jacobs-b-circa-1820/ [22/02/2020] Note that Isaac Harris, who was one of the witnesses, is the great-great grandfather of contributor Anne Harris-Piccoli.
