Hi David
What year do you have for the death of Levy (Levi) Phillips and what Reg district ?

"I meant to ask you how you determined that Jacob was born in 1773."

That's the data that's on Family Search.

"I don't recall writing anything about a painting of Catherine. I'll have to check.

Justin"

I thought I pulled the data from this thread, maybe it was Sam. I can't remember.

Hi All

I think Leonard's post starts with the dates of birth 1773 being given for Jacob and Catherine. I haven't been able to find anything written or printed that gives their age on death. There are some editions of the Cambrian missing online, and I was hoping maybe that when Catherine died she would have been mentioned in The Cambrian, but the 1865 edition is not online.  It might be an idea to get her death certificate, they sometimes differ in detail in comparison with what's on gravestones.

Someone mentioned something about Paddington and Catherine Cohen? Her son Douglas Cohen 1891 was living with his sister Charlotte and a servant Hannah Carlen in Paddington circa 1891 at 1a 31 Paddington Street now a burger bar called Honest Burgers Baker Street.

Yes, I'll look into getting death certs.

I have found that the niece of Mordecai called Charlotte Styer was the daughter of Levi and Haya Phillips.

Her husband Abraham Simeon Styer was a dentist in Northampton.  One of their sons, Leonard Reuben (“Robert”) Styer who was also a dentist, was President of the Brighton Swimming Club, which claims to be the oldest in England.  There is a picture of him at:

Two of his daughters were successful members of the club and there is still a current club trophy named after one of them.  Robert was the first president of the Sussex County Swimming Association.

Hi David,

I think I missed a step here Levi Philips is the brother of Mordecai Phillips and Catherine Cohen? He's not in my records, I'll update them.

Thanks

Sam asked for details of Levi Philips civil death registration.  I have Q4 1837 St Giles Registration District Volume 1 page 41.  This is consistent with the burial information provided by Justin.  Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury is given as his residence and that is only a fairly short walk to St Giles-in-Fields, Holborn which is the parish after which (I assume) the civil registration district is known.  Curiously Levi's daughter later lived at St Giles in Northampton very close to another relative of mine, Henry Lenton Stockburn who was Mayor of Northampton in 1830 and an alderman and magistrate there until the 1860s.
