But questions asked don't include any reference to the Jewish community, possibly the community was so small that it didn't merit any inquiry ? Possibly an enquiry direct to Wiltshire Record Office might suggest a lead to follow up ? Or posting a query in Wiltshire Community History, (see link below) who I've found very helpful and have access to a number of scarce resources. As to the surname, I think I've only found one Isaac in my newspaper transcripts, (he's from London). Another option might be contacting the Nimrod indexes incase they have any reference to the surname (again see link). Best of luck Richard You may find the following link (from my site) helpful - follow the "my ancestor came from Wiltshire" http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dutillieul/FAQ.html
