Hi Heather, There are pre-civil registration, births/circumcisions, marriages and deaths/burials on www.synagoguescribes.com But to be sure you would need to know the wife's name. Can you get that from a census? or from a child's birth (civil regstration showing mother's name)? Regards Gaby Laws London > But what I am wondering is where would I find a marriage record for a > Joseph HART prior to July 1827, with no idea of the name of his wife. > Thank you > Heather

My great great grandfather Aaron Hart married Esther? He was a member at sometime of the Hambro Synaoggue,. I cant find a record of her death. He registered seveal of his children in one go without mentioning the mother.I know her name was Esther as she is mentioned on the tombstones of her daughters Julia and Catherine. How do I find out who she was? It has been a brick wall for some years. Best wishes, Louise ----- Original Message -----

Louise, What's the time-frame on these? Have you any trace of Esther apart from the tombstones (census, birth of other children etc)? If she is buried in UK she would have needed a death certificate. Do you think she could have died and been buried abroad? Sherry (in grey and rainy Viersat, France) My great great grandfather Aaron Hart married Esther? I cant find a record of her death.

Thank you foryour help. Dateline is as follows: Aaron Hart. son of BAruch Barnett Hart .( The Barnett appears in Aaron's will.) 1841 Census Goulston Street, E. London . Living with him is Catherine 25, Rachel 20, Sarah 20, Elizabeth 15, Michael 15, Julia 12 Moss 10. So , unless Moss had another mother, Esther must have died by 1831.and they might have married about 1815. However the girls seemed to get younger in every census and the dates are not so accurate. There were two older sons , Abraham and Phillip who went to live in Jamaica and died there. On the other hand there was s a daughter Amelia (Mendela daughter of Aharon) who married Ephraim Levy Green at the Great Synagogue, 2 Feb. 1836. The strange thing is that a Lipmann Levy aged 35, a glass cutter was living at the same address in 1841 census.In the 1851 census he was still there and also an Elizabeth Levy. They are down as sister in law and brother in law. I have often wondered if somehow Esther was a nee Levy. In 1861 census they are both living further up the road with Amelia and Ephraim and down as Aunt and Uncle. I have been stuck on this for some years and would be grateful for any help.
