London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Lawyers
« on: Wednesday 06 April 05 21:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi.
I wonder if anyone can help me with this small problem.

Would anyone know where I would be able to obtain lists of London Lawyers from the 19th Century. Recently found out an ancestor was a lawyer but can't think where to start looking for info about him and his profession.


If you can help..........Thank you

Europe / HOLLAND: Looking for a Dutch subject
« on: Monday 14 February 05 20:52 GMT (UK)  »
I have found evidence of a Dutch subject in my family. Can anyone please tell me where I could get more information about this man. His name was Albertus Merles and he was born about 1866. I have found him on the 1901 census living in London with his wife and two children, but I would really like to find out where he was living before then.


If anyone can help.......Thank you

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Pearly Kings and Queens
« on: Wednesday 02 February 05 13:41 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone please help me?

I have recently obtained a photo of my great grandfather and on the bottom it says

" A Jenkins original pearly king of Bethnal Green"

I have searched the internet for sites relating to pearlies, but they seem to only focus on modern pearlies, not old ones.

Has anyone got any idea where I need to look or any information on pearlies in Bethnal Green

Thank you

We have my great grandmother's bible. it's inscribed Miss Nelly Merles 31st May 1891
Also says Mrs M Kelley (which we assume is Nelly's mum) died May 7th 1900
At the bottom it says Christ is with us and in us.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Jewish surnames
« on: Sunday 14 November 04 00:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there
I don't know if anyone will be able to help me, but I have hit a bit of a brick wall with my great great grandad. I think he may of changed his surname to Harvey as he was Jewish and married a non jewish girl.
Is anyone able to tell me if Harvey is a Jewish surname originally or if not if they know of a Jewish surname similar to Harvey he might have changed it from.
Thanks
