    2. phillip KIRBY
    3. Following a recent visit this week to the Society of Genealogists I met my distant cousin Debbie ( of the Jacobs line and Stornaway fame). I also discovered new data in the Colyer Fergusson collection relating to the connection between the Abraham Cohen De Lara family and my Crawcour relatives.In the will summary of 1830 recorded by Colyer Fergusson he records Abraham Cohen de Lara of Batty St Commercial Road leaving bequests to his wife Mary and daughter Simha wife of Isaac Crawcour and her 8 children. Abraham also left bequests to his grandaughter Dinah wife of Moses BARNETT and grandaughter Maria daughter of Joseph JOSEPH; niece Jael? Coronel wife of Isaac SEBAG and nephews Moses, Jacob, and Aaron CORONEL.There was a further bequest to the Portuguese Synagogue. I hope this information maybe of relevance to some listers.
