Hi

I'm looking for any information on Jacob and Catherine Cohen (née Philips) both born 1773 and migrated to Swansea: Catherine 1773 – 17 February 1865, Jacob Cohen 1773 – March 1819. Jacob and Catherine are my third great-grandparents their son Reuben Zaleg Felipe (Philip) Cohen is my twice great-grandfather.

Children of Jacob and Catherine Cohen
We have a clock made by Jacob Cohan (Cohen) of Swansea that is dated Feb 19th 1797. I will try to add some pictures for you.
Kind regards
James

Reuben Zaleg Felipe (Philip) Cohen (1810-1881), Dr Douglas Cohen (1806-1892) (unmarried), Esdaile Philip Cohen (1792-1856), Charlotte Cohen (1815-1885) (unnamed), Harriet Cohen (1801 - 1889), Rosetta Cohen (1800-1879) married name Marks, Samuel Philip Cohen (1797-1858), Matilda Cohen (circa born 1805).

Catherine Cohen had a sister Abigail Moseley or Mosely also of Swansea, Abigail married Jacob A. Moseley a watch and clockmaker. She also had a brother Mordecai Phillips. Catherine's father was Solomon Moses Selig Phillips AKA Salomon Phillips AKA Moses Selig. Her mother was Vogeltje Moses. Her paternal grandparents were Jacob Selig and Esther Jacobs.

Any information would be much appreciated.

I have an article on www.neathantiquariansociety.co.uk on the Jews of Neath.  If you look down the side panel you will see 'articles of members'.  Trawl through there and you will see the article in which there is reference to Jacob and his family.  If you can add anything to what I have written then of course I would be delighted to hear from you.
