Title: Jewish family Jacobs
Post by: PennyX on Monday 04 January 10 15:20 GMT (UK)

Searching for Jacobs family, probably Glasgow.  Daughter Emma noted in 1901 census as born Scotland 1871, visiting Bedford at time of census.  Can't find her - maybe another forename?

Hi  :)

Just to clarify that the ones showing on the IGI would be from the birth registrations that have been transcribed by the LDS 1855-1875 . I don't think  that Jewish families would have their children christened and I'm not sure where any records would be for Scottish Jews. There must be someone on here who would know.

Hi Gadget

Good point - and I have learnt something new.  I had assumed that all LDS transcriptions were from Christening records and didn't know they had transcribed just birth registrations from 1855-1875.  

Thanks for that

The LDS have transcribed the marriages as well for the same period - a very good source and saves credits on SP until the record is identified  :)

I've also learnt about the Scottish Jewish Archive. I'm not sure that there's anything online but at least there's an address and tel number .

Thanks to you both for all that.  I think she may have been Esther, born 12/2/1868 in Glasgow.  Her father's birthplace fits in with other stuff I have.  She opened a hat shop in Glasgow called Emma Jay(e) so might have changed her name for "professional" reasons!
