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

[DavidM]

Leonard,

Actually Haya was a sister of Catherine and Mordecai.  She married Levy / Levi Phillips which was uncovered by Justin in a post yesterday.  I have no idea whether Haya and Levy having the same secular surnames is significant or not.  Thus Levy / Levi was a brother-in-law to Catherine and not a brother.

Hi David,

Is this Leonard Reuben (“Robert”) Styer?

Albert St John Styer

Good find, David, especially since the surname was mistranscribed as Hyam on the SynagogueScribes site.

However, Charlotte Styer's maiden name Levy, not Phillips. What makes you think that she was the daughter of Levi and Haya?

Are you thinking that she used her father's given name as a patronymic surname?

Added: The maiden name of the Styer children's mother was recorded as PHILIP, not LEVY.

I think that nails it. Great detective work, David

I tried the obvious google search of "Abraham Phillips" and "Abergavenny" and came up with:

Sarah, relict of AP, died 7 March 1849, aged 62 (http://www.rootschat.com/links/01pls/)

Helen Phillips, youngest daughter of AP, married M.C. [Martin Carl] Schletter of Birmingham on 1st November 1843 (http://www.rootschat.com/links/01plt/)

There was an older daughter, Annely Frances Phillips who married Isaac Mendes de Leon, a Sephardi Jew from a well-known Amsterdam family.

Looks like Abraham was a silversmith and freemason (http://www.rootschat.com/links/01plu/)

I can't find any of them in 1841 census. I wonder if some pages are missing or illegible.

Cool, thanks, Justin. I'll add that to my data base.

Does anyone know Sarah wife of Abraham Philips Madian name?

Hi All

I have some stuff to upload shortly as well on Abraham and Sarah, some extra to what Justin has found. I thinl Abraham died somewhere between 1814 and 1820 something and that they also had a Pawnbrokers shop. I have also found two more of their children, so will add them in a minute now.
