Devon / Re: Hooper and Ley Families
« on: Sunday 29 December 13 01:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. Andrea  My name is Jennifer Ley , nee Hudson.
The Hudson's can trace their family history back through Withers (my paternal grandmother) and Hoopers to Robert Hooper b 1772 who married Catherine Ley b 1777 Devonport. I am trying to find out how my husbands family is linked to my ancestors. My husbands  grandfather Edward Marlborough Ley and Great grandfather  James Halse Ley were  born in Cornwall and my husbands Great Great Grandfather was Edwin Ley b 1803 (Magistrate ) from Penzance Cornwall. Catherine's father was Richard Ley   b1750 from Liskeard Cornwell and his mother Mary Jane ? Who died 1782 in St Cleer Cornwell. The Leys are all  from Cornwell with often large families but I cannot find the link between these Ley families. Hoping to find one . Regards From Australia

Hi Dave,      My husband David is another one of Salings great-great grandsons. David's mother was Caroline Ley(nee Van Leer) ,daughter of Estella Van Leer , daughter of Abraham and Caroline Schiff. Abraham Schiff was the son of Saling and Katherine Schiff. Do you have any information about the birth place or parents of Salings parents:- Abraham and Ernestina who migrated from Prussia?  We are very interested in finding out more about this interesting family. Regards , Jennifer  Ley

I am researching our Schiff branch of the family for our grandchildren. Kind regards Jennifer

Hi James,My husbands maternal grandmother was Estella Constance van Lier(nee Schiff) born to Caroline Van Mentz and Abraham Schiff of Upper Clapton London in 1895. Abrahams parents were Saling and Katherine. Salings parents were Abraham and Ernestina. I have found the Schiff family lineage documented in Jewish Families of Fraakfurt am Main. Research family names Cahn- 1B,2a and Schiff - Abraham Moses Schiff  b1786 d 1850 ,son of Moses Hertz  b1751 d1815,son of Herz Joseph Schiff d1779,son of Joseph Moses Schiff,son of Moses, son of Meier, son of Uri Phoebus Cahn zum Wedel zum Schiff. Other branches of the family can be traced from this info and prominent Schiffs biographies are recorded in Jewish Encyclopedia.My husband has fond memories of is loving and gentle grandmother, Estella. I think Saling had two older brothers-Leopoldo and Louis and three younger sisters- Emma, Betsy and Amelia.Abraham had at least one cousin with the same name . He was the third of 10 children. Abraham and Caroline had 7 children . Estella was their 5th. Their eldest son Frederick died in France in 1918 and we visited his grave in Manancourt British Cemetry last year. I have more info ,mainly obtained from census records etc and I am interested in obtaining more verified   data .Hope this helps, Jenny L (Australia)
