It was suggested to me by a list member on the London list to join this list, as my distant family have a Jewish possibility. I have found a few entries (and been advised of 1) on the Great Synagogue registers. My question is this: I have tracked down some of my LAZARUS family, 1 of which I have received the birth certificate. It shows he (Judah LAZARUS) was born 5 White St, Houndsditch Parish of St Botolph, Aldgate 21/2/1838. On all census up to and including 1861, all children are born in the same place. I realise I need to see registers for the siblings born prior to 1836, which are: all LAZARUS Ralph c 1831, Mary c1832, Clara c1832, Lewis c1833, Morris c1836, John c1803 (father) and Sarah LYONS (mother) c1801. Not having found any of the above persons in the Jewish registers, what is my next possibility of locating registers? Another question: A son of Judah LAZARUS, shown on the British census Emanuel LAZARUS born c1881; I have been unable to locate his birth in freeBMD's, actually it doesn't recognise the name Emanuel or any variation, any suggestions please would be appreciated. thank you Janis Currie

Janis, 1891 and 1901 both say he was born in Liverpool Maybe this?
