Louise I think its the case of when she got married the person who was writing the father's name just took her present name as if she was a nee. Hence Jacob Siliver, when she remarried to Prince and then Jacob Prince when she re-married to Marks. I assume her father was either Jacob Jacobs or she took her fathers first name as her surname when she married. There are a number of Jacob Jacobs or Jacob (with a description of their job or where they came from ) in the Great Synagogue records. Her father was not Jacob the Pen Cutter, he came from Holland but I will have a look through to see if I can find any likely candidates.

Have lost the dates on this thread. Don't know if this will be of interest to you Louise. I have a Jacob JACOBS, Clothier, c1777-abt.1846 on the family tree His wife was Hannah and they had children Moses, Rosey and Fanny and maybe a Priscilla (ABRAHAMS). No doubt there were other children but gone before the 1841 Census. There is a Great Synagogue marriage number GSM 075/2 6 dated 2 Feb 1803 between Jacob JACOBS - Jacob ben Meir P"M (Parnis and Manhig) and Hannah bat Aharon from Frankfurt am Oder. If you need any more information let me know.
