Henry Cohen Pirani was the son of Benetto Cohen/Cohen Pirani and Reyna Abecassis.  He arrived in Melbourne in the mid 1850's and was a merchant.  He married Louisa Levy in Melbourne.  His brother in law was Hyam Marks (Louisa's sister).  His brother was James Cohen Pirani who married Abigail Davies.

H C Pirani was one of those responsible for establishing the Jewish School in Melbourne; supported the Sephardic Congregation and was a member of Lodge Felix.

He migrated to New Zealand with his family in the 1860's

He is a very interesting man.  I have found references to him relating to the Levy, Pirani and Marks families in Melbourne.  The CDV of him in colour is a very good image.

Martha Stapleton headed to Australia it seems with my great uncle.  They both knew each other from the Linwood area.
