that is great but I think it is a different bloodline... it is so confusing for a beginner like me!!
this is what I have:
According to the IGI (taking into account that it is a submitted entry, as opposed to register transcription) It looks like it runs
Aaron Worms bn c 1775 +/- m rachel Lamart, London
Lewis Worms bn c 1801 London m Hannah Joseph 1826 London
Samuel Lewis Worms bn either 1828 in London or in Ceylon (previously suggested 1837 by MC Worms) died 1881 Auckland NZ
Alfred Joseph Worms bn 23 July 1871 Aukland NZ (& his older bother Lewis Samuel Worms bn c 31 March 1868 Aukland NZ died 9 Feb 1931 NZ)
Married Mary Matilda Swinton b 1875 (1876) Auckland d Auckland 14 Dec 1940 burial 16 Dec 1940 Waikumete Cemetery, Auckland christened 1875
My grandmother was Velma Agnes Matilda Worms b 05/04/1917 in Ponsonby
They may have been cousins - I think their was a Lewis Samuel - I have this as well...
New Zealand Worms descend from Samuel Lewis WORMS who married Hannah JOSEPH (d of Simon) at the Great Synagogue London 27 Sept 1826 Source Marriage Register of Great Synagogue London.
I have children of the marriage Rosetta, Hannah, Elizabeth, Lewis Samuel b c 1827, Sidney Joseph bn 1837 (he was living in South America by 1884) )
According to the letter written by M C Worms this Lewis Samuel WORMS went to Ceylon to work on tea plantations connected with the Worms family. He married a mixed race girl and was not accepted by the family back in England, and they ended up going to NZ. One of Samuels sons was William Worms Bn 1876, and he had 2 sons William Frederick Bn 1916 and Malcolm Coverdale Worms bn c 1920 (another researcher lists sisters Una, Dora and a brother Roy)
this is just submitted information for which I am trying to prove - i dont think he was born in Ceylon - I think England!:
