London and Middlesex / Re: Emanuel Goodhart of Limehouse, sugar refiner

You mentioned Leandra and Frederick McCormick-Goodhart, children of Leander McC.-G.(diplomat, genealogist). Both are living. Frederick McCormick-Goodhart has 9 children (One of whom is Leander James, living, childless). Leandra (living) has 2.
Leander (diplomat/genealogist) was divorced from wife Janet in the 1940s(?), remarried, and had 2 children: Henrietta and Leander. Stephanie is Leander's wife. Henrietta's married name is Burke.
From family oral history, and not mentioned in 'Hands across the Sea', Henrietta and Frederick (referring to the newly-American married couple, and not the half-siblings) built Langley Park, in Maryland, US, to honor/replicate some if not many architectural features of the estate at Langley Park, Kent.
As a direct descendant, I am wildly curious about the possible Jewish ancestry of the German Guthardts, and the Star of David on the rainwater hoppers. If these were photographed at Langley Court, it has nothing to do with the McC.-G. family estate.
Langley Park in England was quite large, and it makes sense that an architect and artisans would have been commissioned. Again, was this the estate from which pictures of the hoppers were located? Were were the rainwater hopper photographs taken prior to 1913?
Assuming that there is some validity to the family oral history (about the similarity of the English and subsequent U.S. estate, here is a link to the the Maryland, U.S. mansion (which was sold in the 40s and is now a Latin-American cultural center called 'Casa de Maryland'") http://www.developeronline.com/sawyer-realty-donates-mansion/ Detailed interior images of the mansion, and distant exterior images can be found online.
