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

That is interesting. However did you make the connection?

Just goes to show that we shouldn't neglect the collateral lines.

The Annely Frances  name was carried down in the daughter of Maurice Arthur de Leon's daughter. She  - Fanny Annelie Mendes de Leon aged 20 born 1891, got married in Amsterdam 1911 to Robert Henry Kauffman

Her birth https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2HX-N6HW

She died in Canada

From my minimal Dutch, I can see that she died at "Oosteinde ? 12". Oosteinde is a street in Amsterdam.

The registration goes on to say that she was born in Abergavenny in Wales and that the names of her parents were unknown.

Good find.

Found this on Leopold Maurice Phillips son of Abraham Phillips and Sarah Watkins.

Hello all,

Leonard - just to clarify. Abraham's wife's maiden name was not Watkins. Sarah Phillips (mn Watkins) died 2 years before Abraham's widow. See my post here https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=832032.msg6976051#msg6976051.

Hi All
My computer crashed last night- must be all his info.  I agree Justin the will can't be that of Sarah Phillips because Abraham's wife Sarah Phillips died in 1849 and the will is dated 1847.

I had trouble finding Sarah's son Leopold on the 1841 census. and in view of the will above, maybe the entry for the Sarah in Tudor street Abergavenny may be the wrong one? Could the family may have moved on by then? 

Not sure what the date was of the notice re Leopold Maurice Phillips that Leonard posted yesterday evening, but it does list Pontypool as a previous address. 

I know Pontypool is nowhere near Birmingham, but there is this 1841 census entry for a Sarah aged 50, Leopold 19 and a Henrietta all Independent (no needing an occupation) all born outside of Warwickshire. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQBR-PK4. I did wonder if this could be them, but I don't recall a Henrietta mentioned as a daughter.

This is Sarah Phillips's will gives her address as Cockspur street (matches previous address of the census found). Mentions two unmarried daughters Henrietta (I think) and Rosetta and appoints her three sons Robert Abraham Philips, William Benjamin Phillips and Phillip Abraham Phillips as executors (Leopold had already died). Sorry I only have a link to this from Ancestry, but the info and date in Prerogative of Canterbury Index is:

Name   Sarah Phillips
Probate Date   25 Apr 1849
Residence   Middlesex, England
