Leicester Jewish cemetery?

[Mike from Leicester]

Greeting’s………… Lesley….
.
Today I had a word at the Records Office regarding the Jewish Community in Leicester 1800’s ?

The answer I got from a head librarian was as follows

The Jewish Community were banned from the City in the 1600s King Charles I.
Following the Leicester up rising
This was ended in 1840’s when they were allowed back
And then in 1875 they were allowed to conduct their own Weddings and these records are held at the Records Office……
 
Regarding burial of Jewish Community……..

The answer he gave was :~
They used the Ground which had been set aside for nonconformists
at any of the Main Church yards of the time………

You say you have the CD’s…….
But are they the latest ones
which took burial details at Welford Road into 1950 ?
the first version only went up to 1890.

I have the latest version plus a Disc which has 44,000 burial details for Leicestershire.1813. ~ 1990.

If you post names plus years you are looking for
then I will gladly whiz them through these Discs for you.

Once again, Mike, thanks for your helpful reply. I did write a reply last night, but when I came to Send it RC cut me off, saying the site was too busy, and I lost the lot!

I certainly learn a lot on this site - I wonder why Jews were banned from Leicester by King Charles? As I said, I'm clutching at straws now - have looked so long for the grave of my great-grandparents (in the hope it might give just a crumb of information about them). You have already been extremely helpful in the past, but it seems that they were determined to die without leaving any paper trail. A throw-away remark by a relative has made me wonder whether Julius was Jewish - apparently the surname could be either Christian German or Jewish. The couple were married in 1885 in Leicester register office which is not conclusive proof either way. Julius's father is unnamed. There is no record of him at Kew either, and nothing in The Times archives or the London gazette.

The CDs I have bought in my search have been:

Welford Rd 1849 -1890
Welford Rd 1849 - 1950
Leics & Rutland Vol2 1813 -1891
National Burial Index CDs
I also found a website with graves in Barrow on Soar, which is where they died

No success in any of above. I'm very interested in the CD you mention. As I have several mystery Leics ancestors it might be worth buying it. Julius and Maria died in 1889 (he first appeared in 1885 at his wedding - so he managed to avoid any censuses!). Would the new CD have any extra burials from the late 1880s?

Thanks again for the trouble you have taken, and the help given Mike.
I don't know why I don't just give up on this one, but it's the one mystery I'd love to solve.
