    1. [BRITISH-JEWRY] Catherine Prince
    2. Alfred and Louise
    3. My paterna; great grandmother Catherine was married three times. I am trying to find more about h er and h er e arlier marraiges.. I believe her name before marraige was JACOBS or ISRAEL (both are mentioned at different times). She was born in Poland according to the census. Her first marriage, of which I cannot find a trace, was to Israel Silver about 1843 according to an 1851 census that was kindley s ent to me by June Solntseff, but which I cant find on check on the net. Can anyone find this for me please. I think it might have been in England as they seem to have had a son Jacob soon afterwards. The census gave 3 Partridge Court, off Gravel Lane . There lived Israel SILVER widower aged 35 With him was Catherine ( presumed to be his wife) aged 28 Jacob aged 7 Sarah aged 2 and Elizabeth, mother ( of whom?) a widow aged 50 from Poland. I cannot find a record of this marriage but did find a death that might be Israel's in 1852 perhaps.. In 1859 Catherine was widowed and married Abraham Prince.(My great grandfather) His first marraige had been at the Great Synagogue, He was the son of Zeev Woolf Prince and his first marraige was to Rebecca Barnett daughter of Joseph ha Cohen on 13 September 1832 There is a Jane Prince who might have been born about 1855?,Eva Prince, my grandmother and later Abraham Prince, who was born after his father's death. In 1871 Catherine is still Prince but the Head of the household at Harrow alley, with Jacob 24, Jane 16 Eva 10 Rachel 7 and Abraham 5. I wonder if the Jacob was from her first marriage. In 1877 Catherine married Marks Wartantz at Princess Street, which I presume is the Princelet Street Synagogue , In 1881 census Catherine called herself Catherine Marks and once again was a widow and a redeemer of pledges.There is no trace of Marks Wartantz dying anywhere. Catherine died in 1904 in Somerset East where her daughter Eva had gone with her husband Lewis Cohen. I would love to know more about Catherine and which were her chldren and which inherited from her various husbands who seemed all to be widowers. Has anyone any suggestions please and any ways to disentangle people Begt wishes, Louise.
