I've been searching our family back beyond 1831 with little success. My wife's GG-Grandfather was David Aaron PHILLIPS . . he married Catherine ISAACS in London 22 June, 1831, at the Great Synagogue in London, two years before their first child, Sophia was born in Jamaica. Someone here led me to the marriage records! He died 4 Aug, 1856, and she died March 26 1875, both in Kingston, Jamaica. She is referred to in the Kingston synagogue record of her children's births as "Kate." Our direct relative is their son Emanuel, who came to Louisiana in 1859 We believe that David had a sister, Sarah who married a SOLOMON in London also. David and Kate's marriage record shows that his father's Hebrew name was Aryeh Shirga Pais; and that her Hebrew name was Keila and her father's was Issachar Behr. I am very eager to know more:. . . birth, parents, etc. The lore is that their family came from Holland/Portugal (we have a Portuguese prayer book that was handed down). Thanks, Dan Henderson, New Orleans, la.

Not too difficult regarding sister ref. Lewin Marriage Records Great Synagogue2004 p 601 - I copy-Sarah Phillips father Uri Shraga Feis same as David -or as patronymic Sara ben Uri Shraga Feis no address recorded( not unusual) Grooms name Samual Solomons ( at that time Solomon and Solomons) are interchangeable- grooms father Moshe Eliezer Leiberman or as patronymic Shmuel b. Moshe Eliezer Leiberman no address recorded. Date 22-9-1829- hope that helps Would imagine Dutch/German background both Phillips and Solomon regards Michael Waugh -----Original Message----- From: british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of dan henderson Sent: 27 August 2012 17:13 To: british-jewry@rootsweb.com Subject: [BRITISH-JEWRY] PHILLIPS - ISAACS I've been searching our family back beyond 1831 with little success.
