Sampson Jacobs

Abt 1834 - 1895  (61 years)

• Name	Sampson Jacobs
  Birth	Abt 1834	London, England   [1, 2, 3]
  	Unfortunately we have conflicted dates of birth. We only have 2 occasions when we are given his age:- When he marries in 1876 he gives his age as 42, this gives us 1834 When he dies in 1895 his age is given as 76, which gives us 1819 There is an entry in the Circumcision Extracts in 1824 for a Juda Leib, son of Moses Jacobs of Charles Street, that would fit. Unfortunately we have nothing else to tie in with it. Fact Flags: Preferred
  Gender	Male
  *AKA	Samson Jacobs
  Census	6 Jun 1841	London, England
  	Berwick Street is missing from the 1841 census. "Thank you for contacting The National Archives of the United Kingdom. Unfortunately there is no comprehensive published or unpublished list of streets, or other place elements, missing from the census. However, we hold some detailed street indexes for London districts, which confirm that all of the returns for the Berwick Street sub-district of St James Westminster are missing from the 1841 census." - May 2016
  Newpspaper Entry	2 Dec 1859	Ballarat, Victoria, Australia   [4]
  	"On Friday a person named Sampson Jacobs was brought in suffering from a fracture of the kneepan occasioned by a kick from a horse."
  Court Case	24 Jul 1866	Hokitika, Westland, New Zealand   [5]
  	This is a contentious entry as not everyone agrees that these three are the sons of Moses & Sarah. I have taken to decision to make the entry with this qualification in the hope that it can later be proved/disproved: Sampson Jacobs, Samuel Jacobs and Lawence Jacobs are charged with Larceny from a Dwelling. Note that in the newspaper entry from the 14th., Sampson is named as Sampson Marks but later articles refer to him as Jacobs. Samuel and Laurence (sic) were discharged and the case was dropped against Sampson. However the articles clearly link them as brothers.
