Any Information on the family Jacob and Catherine Cohen, Wales, Swansea

[JustinL]

Where have you seen that name? Whose daughter was she?

I have identified the following three children of Joseph and Charlotte Phillips; cir. = circumcised. There were probably more.

Joseph Phillips (Mosheh-Yosef b. Mosheh-Yosef), cir. 23 Sep 1836 at Love Street, Cripplegate

Philip Philips (Mosheh Reuben known as Zelig b. Mosheh-Yosef), cir. 12 Oct 1837 at Fore Street, Cripplegate, 1871c Paddington: unmarried member of stock exchange

Charlotte Helena Phillips, b. 1843 Haggerston, London, d. Q3 1910 Hampstead

Harriet Cohen (9 November 1801 – 27 July 1889)   was the daughter of Jacob and Catherine Cohen. Her surname was Cohen not Rahmah (see PDF). I've also found the wedding notice for Catherine and David's wedding in the Cambrian which took place in Swansea in 1830 and it states she is the daughter of Jacob Cohen. As far as I know Rahmah is a muslim girls name. This looks like an error to me.

Thanks, Sam for taking a lot at the Rahmah question.

Solomon Moses Selig Phillips
My 4th great-grandfather

Do you think Solomon converted to Christianity? St Botolph's Aldgate is CoE. Any ideas what a Public Minister is? Or is the reference to the PM of St Botolph's Aldgate not Solomon but someone else?

It is his will. He is listed as paying land tax in 1774 & 1755 at Aldgate ward, London, not far from the Synagogue (which is also listed). His name is listed on pages that have other Jews. I  think the entry in Kew National Archive means he was a minister and of St Botoloph Aldgate rather than a minister of St Botoloph if you see what I mean. He lived in that area and was happened also to be a minister (that may be how they referred to Jewish equivalent of a an anglican church minister at the time.
