Hi Justin

Just thought you might like to see Abraham Vita de COLOGNA's entry in the register...
  ;D

NB. It's in two pics because of the width of the entry.

Cheers
Kate

Hi Justin and onethemainline

Thanks heaps for having a look.  :)  This is starting to go way over my head... 

From what you've written, it appears it's not strictly BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES on this microfilm?   

I'll pop up a couple more things for you... 

Cheers
Kate

Hi Justin

Thanks for having a go at these. 

Here's another two.  One is a FINZI and the other is a NORSA. 

Don't spend too much time on this.  It might be for the next generation to ponder. 

Cheers
Kate

Hi Justin

Please don't worry about the first document.  It was right at the beginning of the microfilm and I thought it might be a summary of the documents...which it appears not to be.  I am amazed to learn the writing is Sephardic.  I thought the top half of Italy was typically Askenazim.

The second item is an example of the birth/marriage/death entries written in the mixture of Hebrew and Italian.  I expect then, that this is also Sephardic Hebrew?

Let me know if you want to more examples to play with.

Cheers
Kate

Hi Justin (and Onthemainline and anyone else interested...)

Last week I managed to photograph some of the pages of microfilm.  As I don't read Hebrew, I thought you might like to have a go at this first page and translate what it says. 

I've plenty more pages of entries of Hebrew mixed with Italian.  I think I took around 80 photographs.  I'll pick out a couple and post them here too.

Cheers

Hi Trish

I've been going over your information again.  Where you know where to look amazes me!!   I wish I had your talent!!!

First cousins marrying is probably not so unusual, I suppose.

Thanks again for your wonderful help.  :D :D :D

Cheers
Kate

Hi Trish, David and Sue

Many thanks for having a look for me and for your great suggestions. 

David, I'd been trying to find more in the census but it looks like Mary died before the 1841 census since John is on his own with his daughters from then on.  Sennitt WILLIMOTT doesn't show up as being on any census'.  He was born abt 1761 so he may already have died.  I know he was in London 1825 because he was witness at the marriage of his nephew William WILLIMOTT to Mary Anne FOWLER.

Sue, thank you for your research.  The dates certainly fit for Ann and Mary.

Trish!!!!  I am so mind-boggled at what you've found.  ...it's going to take a while to work throught this.  I see Elizabeth SENNITT there born 1735 and I suspect she is the same Elizabeth SENNITT I have in my tree, the wife of John WILLIMOTT (married St Edwards Cambridge 1756) and mother of John WILLIMOTT jnr. and Sennitt WILLIMOTT (and Thomas and Ann too).  If so, am I right in thinking we have a really close cousin relationship if Elizabeth's and Susanna's children married eachother?

I'll put it on a tree and have a look.

Thanks again for your wonderful input and help.

Cheers
Kate

Cambridgeshire / SIMPERINGHAM girls of Pampisford

Hi

I have found that Mary SIMPERINGHAM married John WILLIMOTT 1791 in Pampisford.  Ann SIMPERINGHAM married John's brother, Sennitt WILLIMOTT 1797 (in Pallots Marriage Index).  I cannot prove it, but would imagine Ann and Mary are sisters - perhaps Mary being the elder sister. 

Does anyone know or know how I can find out?

Cheers

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1825 - Did you have to be of age to witness a marriage?
« on: Thursday 05 November 09 00:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Little Nell

Thank you very much for your reply.  I've done some further investigation and I've found an Uncle called Sennitt Willimott who would have been aged 66 in 1825.  I'd say it's more than likely he's the man who witnessed the marriage.

Best wishes and many thanks
Kate
