20101 The entry gives 24 Dunham Street. H and I have interpreted the H as Hulme
Note that Dunham Street feature for other family members on several occasions, but not No. 24

Householder GUINNANE, Thomas (I179)

20102 The entry in Myer Solomon's Circumcision Register fits well.
Given that it was custom to circumcise a male child about 8 days after birth, this would give us a birth date of 17th September 1831
Fact Flags: Preferred JACOBS, Henry (I816)

20103 The entry in Myer Solomon's Circumcision Register fits well.
Given that it was custom to circumcise a male child about 8 days after birth, this would give us a birth date of 6th October 1834

20104 The entry is crossed out and as there is another entry for the journey earlier in the month, it is likely that he cancelled this journey. JACOBS, Moses (I4363)

20105 The exact date and address came from Manfred Lindner's records.
As at 2/Aug/2008 don't have a copy of the certificate.

20106 The family is also known as Sankson SANKSTONE, James Wilson (I2215)

20107 The Hart maiden name used on her Birt Certificat also appears on her Death Certificate.
According to Dudley Hart, Elizabeth was a Hart cousin and the surname Shaw taken from her step father.
I [Phil Kirby] have no proof of this at all.
In addition, I have no records of any of my Hart lines marrying a Shaw.
The surname Shaw appears in the Divorce proceedings taken by Adelaide Hart nee Yzerman against Ernest. HART, Winifred Amelia (I10576)

20108 The inscription on Simon LEVY's grave is:

20109 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.

Shlomo Katanka also had a look at it for me.

The items adjusted are:
Bride's Name:
In English - Kitty Moses
In Hebrew - Keila bat Rachel Moshe Cohen

Father's Name:
In English - Henry Jacobs

Daniel Cohen wrote in 2021 suggesting that the original surname may have been Liztig rather than Litzen.

Family: Henry JACOBS / Kitty MOSES (F247)

20111 The Mackney's had a 'Ghost Pavillion' at one point. it can be seen in one of the photographs.

The following is a description:

"A ghost show using a magic lantern to project images of ghosts, skeletons, and other macabre beings onto a screen was referred to as a "phantasmagoria" (a collection of ghosts). Loud explosions, thunderclaps and a smokey atomosphere (created with dry ice) added to the special effects. " Family: Thomas MCNAIR / Margaret LOMAS (F38)

20112 The Morning Chronicle Saturday 19 February 1859 Source (S3134)

20113 The name Jaghendo is his name on Ancestry HENDERSON, John (I10022)

20114 The name Litzen is placed by Hyamson on the Henry Jacobs family tree as the original family surname for David Jacobs. In the Great Synagogue Records transcribed by Angela Shire she writes the name as LETSON and there are several names recorded under marriages and births where the Letson name appears.

Phil Kirby did further research and came to the belief that the surname is LITZEN which is German and also a town name in what was Western Prussia. The town still exists. 47?52'00.0"N 10?25'00.0"E

Philip believes that David Litzen moved around the Polish/German areas and came to the UK probably to escape the Polish pogroms.
Philip has also looked at the Polish History and the Russian history and have a pretty good idea about the changing influences on Jews in those areas.

If you look on Familysearch site (the Mormons) you can see the family name Litzen and it is usually Swedish/German/Finnish.

Philip thinks David Litzen changed his name to Jacobs for business reasons and also because it was easier to pronounce. JACOBS, David (I897)

20115 The name Orr comes from his mother's mother.
Fact Flags: Preferred JACOBS, Robert Orr (I4718)

20116 The name was changed to Stewart in 1904
This was recorded in The Times and the Jewish Chronicle.
Michael also changed his forename to Alfred Michael Family: Michael SIEGENBERG / Julia JACOBS (F1430)

20117 The notes received from Ann Tong indicate that they had no children, however they had a son in 1918. Family: Thomas Herbert SHERRY / Dorothy (Queenie) JACOBS (F1506)

20118 The parish register entry clearly gives Mary's surname as Walton but I have some doubts over her signature. I think that the signatures of bride, groom and witnesses may not be originals - they look too neat and similar. [The unsure signature is on the original PR, the BT copy is a definite Walton]
In my own mind I am satisfied that Mary is indeed Wilton.
Unfortunately the Banns register has not survived so it is unlikely that we will find any other proof. Family: James MCNAIR / Mary WILTON (F436)

20119 The West Coast Times reported on the 19 Aug 1885 that "A little boy named Laurence Jacobs, half-brother to Mr H. Jacobs, met with a painful accident yesterday, by which he sustained a compound fracture of the arm. He was playing in the gymnasium of the State School, and by some means fell, when the accident took place. He was conveyed to the Hospital, and is now doing as well as can be expected." JACOBS, Lawrence Albert (I4137)

20120 The word 'Germany' refers to place of birth and is incorrect.

20121 There appears to be a second Henry in the list, aged 3. But this makes no sense.
At that point in the list (between Lawrence Jr amd Rebecca I would have expected no one. LEVY, Henry Lawrence (I5124)

20122 There are 2 Baptisms on FMP and Family Search. Possibly the first Alice died and the other is a replacement? BIGLAND, Alice Winstanley (I8050)

20123 There are 2 entries in the GRO, one in 1898 and one in 1900
Both have mother as Perkins and the same registration district.
I can find no death to imply that the 2nd Frank was a replacement.
Also I can also only find 1 Varo-Perkins marriage. [28/03/2022]
Fact Flags: Preferred VARO, Frank (I6982)

20124 There are 2 entries:
William Guinnane which cross references to William Partington Guinnane
Died 13 Jan 1970
Don't know why the administration is so long after death. GUINNANE, William Partington (I1786)

20125 There are 2 potential BMD matches but based on the DOB given in the 1939 Natial Registration the Q3 entry is the best match.
Fact Flags: Preferred WILSON, Nellie (I3857)

20126 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:-

[22/02/2020] JACOBS, Rachel (I4713)

20127 There are several candidates for his birth.
1736 - Sep, Dalton, son of James of Newbarns
1736/7* - Feb Aldingham, son of Richard of Newbarns
1738 - Jul. Dalton, son of James of Pesholms
*pre 1752 so 1st part of year is mixed date

Based on the fact that his marriage bond mentions James Simpson, I am inclined to think that his father was James.

That reduces us to 2 options September 1736 and July 1738
Based on his age at death (80) in 1817 that leads us to the 1736 entry.

Fact Flags: Preferred SIMPSON, Thomas (I1850)

20128 There are some additional handwritten notes on one of the pages but I am uncertain whether or not they are comtemporaneous with the rest of the document. Source (S2222)

20129 There are two entries in the probate calender:
1. April 1919 to his widow, Maurice Winkel & Hubert Meredith ?67,142 19s 3d
2. April 1920 to Felix Lion ?3,187 4s 6d JACOBS, Judah (I4658)

20130 There are two possibles for Jane's Death
1835 - Aged 42
1830 - Aged 37

Ironically the age difference and the date death difference are both 5 years, making it very difficult to choose the right one.

Fact Flags: Preferred BROOM, Jane (I2018)

20131 There is a BMD for an Ivy Florence Curtis in 1901 - only one I've found so far.
1901 JAS Medway 2A 703

20136 There is a GRO entry that fits, but no Mother's maiden name
1845 OND Ulverston 25 207
Fact Flags: Preferred SIMPSON, Agnes (I28)

20137 There is a lot of confusion about her forename.
When she marries James Shutt it is listed as Myarham
She is consistant with being born in Handsworth
In 1861 she is Myrah
In 1871 she is Mira
In 1881 she is listed as Wyraham
In 1891 I haven't found them
In 1901 she is Myra A
In 1911 she is indexed as Ingraham but it actually reads Myraham
In 1939 she is Myra
When she dies in 1947 it is as Myra
On her BMD birth entry she is Mira LEWIS, Mira (I1695)

Fact Flags: Preferred BERTRAND, Baby (I7522)

20140 There is a possibility that he later went by the names Alfred James Jacobs.
On his father's Death Certificate there is an Alfred listed as the first child, which fits.
In 1903 there is am Alfred James living with what appear to be siblings David and Robert Orr Jacobs

There is also a possibility that he married Ruby May Trayse in 1913 and later divorced her.
However there is not enough information to prove this.
See divorce papers: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61565/images/47971_302022005615_2299-00001?treeid=184571914&personid=342414467722&usePUB=true&_phsrc=JJY10&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&pId=12536 JACOBS, Humphrey James (I4102)

20141 There is a possibility that Julius' parents were Adolph and Bertha
and that Bertha's mother in law was Buna Ahrens
This was found on Ancestry in the 1867 census for Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
The family comprises of:
Adolph Sussmann
Bertha Sussmann
Julius Sussmann
Leopold Sussmann
Buna Ahrens
Rebecca Sussmann
Minna Sussmann
