Hi Janis, I think we recently had a string of mail about this so you could check the archives for the B-J list. I have the info - but it's on the hard drive of my old computer which has just gone walkabout with a computer doctor and I don't know when it will return. Try Googling the great synagogue and sending them a query - that's how I got the information.

What is a "copy of a marriage"? Thee were no marriage certificates as we know them today back in 1829. Harold Lewin's transcription of such records as do exist shows the marriage you mention to be between Jacob Lazarus, son of Raphael (Yaakov b. Raphael) and Sarah Lyons daighter of Yehuda Leib (Sara b. Yehuda Leib) but no addresses are shown, and there is no other information. 2. It could be difficult to send the Great Synagogue a query - it was destroyed by enemy bombing in 1941 and has not existed since then . . . Beverly Bergman Camberley UK
