Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had had any success researching Jewish ancestry in the UK prior to 1837 and if it is possible to do it on line please?

I am trying to research the ancesters of Isaac Myres born 1829 • Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England and died 1905 • Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England (4th great-grandfather).

He married Betsy Martin* (1829-1871) Sep 1849 • West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England *
1) I think she was a Martin but I can't find their marriage - Do you know if you can search GRO for marriages (I have tried but can't find the page)?
Sarah Theaker nee Ryley (1824-1878) 10 Mar 1872 • Walsall, Staffordshire, England
Margaret Clark (1847- ) 21 Oct 1878

With Besty he had
Betsy 1847 Worcester
Mary Ann 1851 West Bromwich
Isaac 1858 (my ancester) Wednesbury
William 1861-1862 Dudley
Rachael 1864 Dudley
Betsy 1866-1867 Dudley (perhaps the other Betsy dies or she is the daughter of Betsy jnr)
(Bestsy also had Ann Boyde b 1843 & Bortery Rogers b 1847).

I am struggling to find the mother and father of Isaac b 1829 in Bethnal Green. I think his father was Isaac as on his marriage to Maragret Clark his father is Isaac (he is married to a Margaret of the correct age on the 1881 so I assume it is him).

On the 1941 census in Whitechapel  there is an Isaac of the correct age with the following house hold members:
Catherine Myers   35
Jacob Myers   15
Aaron Myers   12
Henry Myers   6
Julia Myers   3 GRO 1838 vol 2C pg 401 mdn Meyres (was the mother married??)
Abraham Myers   6 Mo

The father is not there or may have died. On ancestry looking at other family trees Julia is refered to as Yetta bat Binyamin?? She marries Henry Barnett (Dvi ben Yosef)

2) Can someone with more knowledge about geneology than me tell me if you think I have got the right family for Isaac please? (son of Catherine)

3) Isaac's father could be Benjamine or Joseph or Isaac (as per civil reg marriage ref), I have seen both selected, but from the Dvi ben/Tetta bat, I am assuming a Jewish link. I cannot find a marriage between Cathrine and a Benjamin or Jacob Myres (Meyres) and wondered if there was a special place to look?

If anyone can help with my 3 questions I would be extreamly grateful.
Best wishes,
Emma

(Bestsy also had ....... Bortery Rogers b 1847).

If you are looking at the 1851 census then the second child's name is Betsey MYERS, not Bortery ROGERS.  It is just a bad Ancestry transcription.

Fantastic, thank you, I was not aware of free.reg and it is great to get all that detail and to solve the problem as to who the father of Isaac was. Thank you very much.
