Notes Married:
- The link here is not 100% at present, but then not everything is.
We know that Henry Jacobs was a Glassman practising in Petticoat Lane.
We know that his father was David Jacobs.
We believe that David Jacobs was also known as David Litzen/Letson.
In an Old Bailey trial of 1795 there is a witness Kitty Jacobs whose husband has a glass business in Petticoat Lane.
In the Great Synagogue Marriage Record transcript there is an entry for a Kitty Moses marrying a Henry Jacobs whose father is David Letson
Update October 2021
I was contacted by Daniel Cohen with regards to untranslated information on the marriage entry.
It would appear that the English translation was not as full as the Hebrew original.
Unfortunately the Hebrew text doesn't display well here so see attachment.
Shlomo Katanka also had a look at it for me.

Many thanks for Schlomo Katanka for the translation Daniel Cohen wrote in 2021 suggesting that the original surname may have been Liztig rather than Litzen.
