Hi Naomi, Just new to this. Did your Barnett name originate from Gabriel Barnett in the UK ? He was my husband's 2 times great grandfather and I'm trying to find out more. Have found his marriage to Phoebe Jacobs and his death in London, and various census info but am trying to find his birth and parents. Any suggestions ?? Are there any other Barnetts out there ??? Thanks, Ludij Peden Cairns, Australia. -----Original Message----- From: british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Merv & Naomi Barnett Sent: Saturday, 14 June 2008 4:44 PM To: British Jewry Subject: [BRITISH-JEWRY] Birth certificate Fanny Eva SAMUEL/S Hello Listers Perhaps someone can help me solve a long-standing question. I am trying to verify a time of arrival in England for an ancestor Heinrich (aka Henry) SAMUEL/S. Heinrich was born around 1817 in Germany. He married (date of marriage not known) a Chanah (aka Hanna/Hannah)SCHELINSKI , born 1834. They emigrated to England but we don't know if it was before or after marriage. Their eldest child, Fanny Eva SAMUEL/S was born in 1852. I am trying to obtain a birth certificate for Fanny Eva. They went on to have 4 more children Louis (1854), Joseph (1861), Leah (1863) and Rachel (1867). We have all the information about the marriages etc of Fanny Eva and all her siblings but determining where and when Fanny Eva was born would be marvellous. Fanny Eva married Abraham Rose in the Hambro Synagogue in 1872 and we have the ketubah. Any suggestions? I wondered if the book recently published by Harold Pollins might have this birth registered.
