Yes, Ann, that's the family. Isaac Schwersensky died Dec Quarter 1873, age 74, in Birkenhead, Cheshire. He married Hannah Isaacs on 23 Jan 1839. I've got 8 children, 2 born Canterbury - Philip and Elizabeth- and 6 born Liverpool - Nathaniel, Fanny (married Heilbut), Joshua, Marcus, Phoebe (married Somers), Marian. Joshua Schwersensky witnessed Nathaniel Isaacs' signature on the Codicil to Nathaniel's Will (Codicil dated 26 December 1870). I don't know of any connection of the Schwersensky name with South Africa, but Nathaniel Isaacs and his Solomon uncles certainly have a connection. Sigi McMahon Australia
