Hello again,

I can pass on quite a lot of information to you by email if this helps. If this is of interest, I can put my email address in a Personal Message (PM) to you.

PS: I think that I've found 2 siblings of Noel Maxine - Marie Pauline (born 1895), and Harry Ivan (born and died 1898).

Hello, does anyone know who Masahod Delevante's parents are from Morocco? Where in Morocco was he from? Thank you so much.

According to the "Abstracts of Ketubot" for the Bevis Marks Synagogue, the marriage contract dated 14 Tamuz 5542 (26th. June 1782) identifies Mishod Sarique (alias de Levante) son of Joseph Sarique as marrying Miryam de Joseph Bendelak.

Children of George Riches and Rachel Ann Delevante

These are the children I can find, using the spellings recorded in the registers:
  • St. George in the East, St. George - 24th. December 1845: George Thomas De Levante, son of George Riches and Rachael Ann, was born on the 23rd. March 1847. George Riches Delevante is described as a Cabinet Maker, of Cannon Street Road. [This is the only child for whom I can find a GRO birth registration.]
  • St. George in the East, St. George - 14th. April 1847: Charles Prosper Delevante, son of George Riches and Rachel, was born on the 22nd. November 1845. George Riches Delevante is described as a Merchant's Clerk, of 17 Cannon Street Road.
  • St. George in the East, St. George - 7th. December 1849: Emily Mary De Levante, daughter of George Riches and Rachel Ann, was born on the 30th. October 1849. George Riches De Levante is described as a Cabinet Maker, of 17 Cannon Street Road.
  • West Ham, All Saints - 16th. April 1852: Ann Robinson Delevante, daughter of George Riches and Rachael Ann. George Riches Delevante is described as a Traveller, of West Ham.
  • West Ham, All Saints - 23rd. November 1853: Mary Beckett De Levante, daughter of George Riches and Rachael Ann. George Riches Delevante is described as a Commercial Traveller, of West Ham.
  • Mary Beckett Delavante, aged 11 Months, of 1 Whalebone Terrace, West Ham, was buried on the 3rd. October 1854 at Tower Hamlets, Cemetery.
  • West Ham, All Saints - 18th. April 1855: Edward Henry De Levante, son of George Riches and Rachael Ann. George Riches De Levante is described as a Traveller, of West Ham.
  • West Ham, All Saints - 24th. March 1858: Mary Rachel De Levante, daughter of George Riches and Rachel Ann. George Riches De Levante is described as a Commercial Traveller, of West Ham. The Baptism was performed by E. R. De Levante, a younger brother of George, who describes himself as a Curate of (?) Chelsea.

The Mary Rachel baptised in March 1858 is very likely to be Noel Maxine's mother.

Note that I always give the full name of a church (hence the St. George in the East, St. George) since this fully identifies the source. In case you're wondering, there's also St. George in the East, Christ Church and St. George in the East, Saint Mary. West Surrey FHS have published 3 freely-downloadable Research Aid documents which catalogue the whoopsies made by Ancestry when loading the London Metropolitan Archives records.

Hello again,

The issue of the North Devon Journal which was published on the 9th. January 1902 states that a daughter was born to Harry De Levante and his wife on the 6th. January 1902 at 20 Bridgeland Street, Bideford. Based on the GRO version of the birth index (which gives the mother's maiden name), the parents are Harry Riches Delevante and Mary Rachel Delevante who married in the March 1894 quarter, Keighley registration district, reference 9a 283 (I've ordered this certificate).

This is the birth of Noel Maxine.

I can't find GRO birth registrations for most of the children of George and Rachel (there's one in 1845). I'll work through the images of the baptism registers for West Ham to see if I can find some record of the family. (Essex Record Office has published full colour images of its parish registers online.)

For user "gezq", I have 2 orders for certificates in progress with the GRO and these will throw more light on Annie's parents. I should receive the second order just over a week from now.

In the meantime, the following information may be useful:
  • I'm not sure how much you know about family history, or about Ancestry's website, so I apologise if I tell you something you already know.
  • It's possible to search Ancestry's census returns by page number. To do this, you need to navigate to the search-page for (in these cases) the XXXX England Census (where XXXX is the relevant year). Note that the fields move round on the page for each year.
  • For the 1891 census, enter 3463 for the "Piece" and 96 for the "Folio". This should bring up 62 results - look for George and Rachel "Delerante".
  • For the 1881 census, enter 5141 for the "Piece", 7 for the "Folio" and 8 for the "Page Number". This should bring up 24 results and the surname is correctly indexed. [Note that the marriage of John and Annie took place in Penrith district, so the location is reasonable.]
  • For the 1871 census, enter 561 for the "Piece", 158 for the "Folio" and 42 for the "Page Number". This should bring up 24 results and the surname is correctly indexed.
  • For the 1861 census, enter 1055 for the "Piece", 18 for the "Folio" and 32 for the "Page Number". This should bring up 24 results and the surname is correctly indexed.
  • For the 1851 census, enter 1768 for the "Piece", 519 for the "Folio" and 38 for the "Page Number". This should bring up 16 results and the indexing is not very good.
  • The ages shown on census returns are often very creative, so Annie claiming to be a few years younger should come as no surprise. (I've so far transcribed 16,148 individuals in 2,996 households, so I have some experience ...)
  • Note that Maxine's birth was registered under the name Noel Maxine De Levante.
  • For the 1871 census for Ann R. De Levante, enter 561 for the "Piece", 148 for the "Folio" and 21 for the "Page Number". This should bring up 24 results and Ann is recognisable. The "Cousin" relationship comes through Nathaniel's wife Mary Ann (nee Beckett). Mary Ann was a daughter of John Waterfull Beckett (a brother of the Rachel Ann Beckett who married George Riches Delevante).

My interest in the Delevante surname is the line which descends from Prosper and Sarah Riches since there are 2 marriages into my Beckett family:
  • George Riches Delevante married Rachel Ann Beckett [daughter of Charles Robert Beckett] on the 2nd. February 1845 at St. George in the East, St. George.
  • James William Beckett (son of Joshua William Beckett [who was a son of Charles Robert Beckett]) married Emily Mary De Levante (daughter of George Riches Delevante) on the 23rd. November 1872 at Limehouse, St. Anne.
For user "gezq", I can provide quite a bit of information which will be of interest (I've saved images of the relevant register entries and certificates). For example:
  • George Riches Delevante was born on the 16th. January 1820 in Norwich but baptised on the 21st. June 1835 at the Episcopal Jews' Chapel (Bethnal Green) and recorded in the registers of Bethnal Green, St. Matthew in Middlesex.
  • Quite a few members of the family, even the females, are described as a "Professor of Music" in records.
  • I suspect that Prosper Delevante, the father of George Riches Delevante, was born on the 16th. July 1786 - see the baptism in the registers of Bethnal Green, St. John on the 18th. December 1842 for "Paul Prosper Delevante".
  • I know mostly who is who in the Beckett family as far back as Charles Robert Beckett - unfortunately his burial record at London, Wycliffe Independent Philpot Street chapel on the 29th. July 1827 does not give his age.
