Hi Sigi I'm very interested in people in the Cape with the name Solomon or Solomons. My main research is the Norden family. The three below are definitely in the Cape. 1 & 3 are of particular interest to me. 2 is simply one I've kept in case it ties in. However, there are also Solomon(s) who married into the extended family in England. In view of a chunk of the Norden family being in the Cape it has always seemed to me that some of the Solomon(s) in England could also be connected to the Solomon(s) in the Cape. If you want to pursue that one I will copy and paste their details. Additionally I'm aware of Henry Napthali Solomon, proprietor of a Jewish boys' boarding school at Edmonton. He later moved his school to Hammersmith. This happens to be where the parents of my Cape settler Nordens moved in the 1820's from the area around the Tower of London. Henry Solomon and previously been a headmaster of JFS. Please let me know whether or not you can see any connections. Details below.

I'm trying to trace the numerous children of Nathaniel Solomon and Phoebe de Metz. I've confirmed Edward (1774-1855), married Rachel Joseph Saul (1776-1852) the St. Helena connection, married 3x on St. Helena Island Joseph (-1861) married Hannah Moss on St. Helena Island and in 1831 moved to Capetown Benjamin, married on St. Helena Island, and remarried in South Africa Lewis Gideon (abt 1789-1868, our ancestor, who dropped the Solomon surname) married Julia Magnus on St. Helena Island I'm now trying to confirm Lenie, who was Saul's favourite sister. Since most sources name Lenie as mother of the explorer/adventurer Nathaniel Isaacs (1808-1872), I obtained copy of his Will. In his Will Nathaniel refers to "my sister Hannah Scheversensky" (which should read Schwersensky). The BJ records give the parents of Hannah Schwersensky with Isaac Isaacs and Elizabeth Solomon. Since Hannah and Nathaniel were siblings, could Elizabeth equal Lenie? Regards, Sigi McMahon No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
