Sephardi Archives- looking for surname Bockerah/Bockero borthers

[mwkelly]

I'm Looking for a needdle in a haystack. 

The earliest record i have on my ancestor (6 x grandfather) is that of Solomon Bockery and his wife Ann on a St Leonard, Shoreditch baptism (ancestry,com) of there son Solomon  born/bapt Jan/March in 1789.

Information also gleaned from Oldbailey records, 1788 & 1789, google, ancestry etc would suggest various surnames derivatives of the following.......

Bockerah / Backarah / Bocarra / Buckero / Bockron / Bockery / Bockrow other surnames names flying around are Baker and Abraham

It has also been suggested that Soloman was a Sehpardi Jew. And that the surname was actually the name of his religion ie 'a Bukarah Jew' from Uzbekistan Ive had my DNA tested and I do have 1% from Afghanistan! its neighbour.

I've found a few Names possible linked to Solomon that of an Isaac, Benjamin, Lazarus, Lyon, Elisha, William and an earlier one of Lawrance Buckron buried in 1591.

Surely if Solomon's son Solomon Bockery has an European baptism entry he must have a jewish one?, which could help me with further information - hence somebody to please help loctae this.

Welcome your help and detective work?
Many thanks

Are you tthinking that Solomon was Jewish and his wife Ann was not? 

Which company did you test with?  If you think you have any Sephardic ancestry I suggest you upload to Gedmatch and play around with their admixture tools.

ETA - regardless, I think you should upload to Gedmatch and play around with their admixture tools.
