Rebekah (Rebecca) Jacobs

['Trish']

Hi thanks, Hyman I have known for ages from the family, that Hyman was his Father.  Regards Pauline

[Necromancer]

so, have you decided that Adelaide is not Rebecca ?

['Trish']

Well yes I think its a safe bet that Rebecca is/was Adelaide Ann.  regards Pauline

['Trish']

Couldnt find them in 1871, or 1881 or their deaths for, I did look on freebmd and found a John Jacobs who died in 1915, Whitechapel.  John's grandson had remembered that John had died about 1919, so not a bad memory hey.  I am afraid I am running around in circles trying to sort this family out.  Now that we settled the problem of Rebecca/Rebekah being Adelaide Ann,  it doesnt still sort out why she/they used so many different parents names on their children's birth. 
I can now look for her birth 1862-1864 in either London City or Bishopsgate.  I now need to sort Hyman & his son out.  As Hyman's records are in Poland/Prussia/Germany that might take some doing, but one thing I do know is that he was married to Henrietta Friedman both born Poland around 1832/4.  But do not have anything else on Hyman.   Only that Philip Jacobs could be a relation to him, Philip owned 14 Artillery Passage where Rebecca is named as tenant or worker on her marriage cert?  regards Pauline

These are the children of John (Jacob) & Rebecca (Rebekah/Lydia/Olivia) Winslow strange isnt it that with two of the births their father was Jacob Jacobs & Rebecca, and with one John Jacobs & Lydia & with another John Jacobs & Olivia, I wonder what names they used with the three I dont have the information on?
And isnt it kind of weird that they hardly used their correct names, I wonder why?
Hyman born Mar q 1884
Amelia June q 1885 (parents Jacob Jacobs & Rebecca)
Katherine Esther Mar q 1887 (parents Jacob & Rebecca)
Edward Aaron Mar q 1891 (parents John Jacobs & Lydia)
Florence Henrietta born 1893 (parents John Jacobs & Olivia)
Rose Lydia sept q 1895
Adelaide May Mar q 1900
Regards Pauline

Hi, thank you for your interest however, I am looking for Adelaide Winslow who married John Jacobs.  Recently I found out that she changed her name when she married John, and became Rebecca/Rebekah, which I am told is a tradition in the Jewish church.  Thanks again regards Trish

Sorry!  I got the date wrong.  It should have read 1890
