London and Middlesex / Re: Moss Levin - Marcus Moses Levin
« on: Monday 27 June 16 03:45 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I have received a lovely reply from LES about our ancestor Moss Levin and the great difficulties it has been to establish his origins prior to coming to London in around 1780.
I would love to reply to LES personally but being a new member I have restrictions on replying to personal messages but I know LES will be reading this from this topic anyway.
I am quite surprised that Moss died around 1842 as an "inmate" in a pauper/workhouse even though having many children. From what I have also identified Moss's last wife Ann died as an "inmate" in a similar situation around 1865/8 (don't have my chart with me at the moment).
Maybe our ideals of looking after our elderly are different in this day and age but I am surprised that none of Moss's or Anne's children took on a caring role.
Can anyone shed light on this observation query.
As stated earlier I am getting my mother to do a dna test of which part of the test will also hopefully give some information on the possible geographic area the Levin's come from. Although the test only gives some general info in this regards it may prove useful. Still awaiting for the test to arrive and once Family Tree DNA receives the test if takes a good 6-8 weeks for processing. So, hopefully in less than 3 months I will have interesting info I am happy to share.
Cheers!
Rob.

Hello all,
Based here in Australia.
Looks like I am another descendant of Moss Levin. My maternal grandmother's (Edith Jenny Massey (nee Levin born 1913-2006) father was Francis Percival Levin (1874-1938) whose father was Alexandra Levin whose father was Moss Levin (therefore my great, great grandfather).
I don't have any light to shed on Moss Levin apart from putting my hand up as another descendant/relative of some folks here for Moss Levin.
For interest I am arranging for my mother to undertake a DNA test through Family Tree DNA to see what comes up and possibly identify other unknown relatives who have taken DNA tests.
Feel free to contact me if interested.
Cheers!
Rob.
