glitter2009,

I will be paying a visit to the records office in Liverpool on Tuesday afternoon, is there a specific question that you would like me to ask the staff there?

Hello Justin,

Here is the information that you requested.  Joseph's father is called Joseph, and he is a Farmer.  Mary's father is called John and he is a Shipwright.  Bride and Groom are "Full Age."

No, I am not SM but I am in email contact with him.  The 'fact' that Joseph came from Malta, has been handed down the generations as oral history.  SM and another email contact, both tell me that older members of their families have told them this, but that they don't have any hard facts to back this up.

I found a website which allowed me to search for a name in the database.  I thought that I had found the name Lezart, but to make sure, I emailed a man from the website.  When he replied, he told me that the name does not appear, but that some variations like Lezard do.  He informed me that Familysearch.org has a high volume of the name Lezart, which appears in Canada only.  He also said that Ancestry.com has a few Lezarts, again in Canada.

He wrote that, "It is likely that the name Lezart is a variation of some longer name." ???

I can't read those bits!

CaroleW ;D Thank you for the link, will try to use it :D

Hello There, Looked at the site and didn't realise there were that many names to look at! ;D ;D ;D

MaryA :P  I will consider myself told off ;)  I know that you advised me to visit the office in relation to an enquiry I had made, but my confidence levels are on the floor.  Yes, I know, that only I can pick them up, and I am trying, it might just take some time.  You should have given me lines to write ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lancashire / Jewish Records in Liverpool Record Office?
« on: Sunday 28 June 09 00:04 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Does anyone know if Liverpool Records Office holds information on Jewish immigrants to the city?  I may have Jewish Ancestry, and am going to visit the records office when it opens next week.

Also, can anyone tell me what kind of records they hold as I'm not very good at going in there.  I always feel a bit intimidated and not academic enough.  I have braved the microfiche and searched the bmd indexes, but that's about all. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

I know!  I thought that he had done a runner too :D

Can I just ask, as Mary's name was Abrahams is there a possibility that she was Jewish?  I understand that both her and Joseph were married in a Church of England ceremony, but I've just googled Jewish surnames and found the following site: http://www.avotaynu.com/csi/csi-home.htm 

From this site I have just found out that the name Lezart is in fact Jewish.  Is this something for me to 'work' on? Will the records office in Liverpool have papers related to this?

Thanks for any advice that you can give

PS  Thank you Alpine for your help  :)
