I have found another source here:

https://gw.geneanet.org/herediasittig?lang=en&n=cohen&oc=0&p=moses+abraham

Susanne Selig and Caspar Abraham Cohen were Dutch, whereas Solomon Phillips was of German origin. The Hambro synagogue was established by German Jews and its original members were all of German origin.

Susanne Selig seemingly died before Dutch Jews were compelled to adopt fixed surnames during the Napoleonic rule (1812, I think). Therefore, Selig was probably her father's given name. Solomon, however, was the son of a Samuel.

No, there is nothing to suggest that Susanne Selig and Solomon Phillips were related.

Why is Blumah, Hinde and Rivqeh in brackets? Rosetta (Blumah) Cohen, Matilda (Hinde) Cohen, Rebecca (Rivqeh) Cohen.

Thanks
