[Mowsehowse]

Viktoria, you mention you enjoy Jewish humour.... do you know the wonderful "Call from Long Island" sketch?

One of the funniest things I have ever heard I think.

thanks Justin,

im still chipping away at this because I keep finding out new stuff in general and because there's not much hope of finding anything before Lyons arrival in nottm.

the. first trace of Lyon is actually in 1820 when he was. summoned for not paying the poor. tax...ive got a copy of the summons.

David Cohen may have been David levy...one of those, sorry....I. got. the information from a book called a history of Nottingham jews or a history of jews in Nottingham...my copy is under a pile of papers somewhere....its out of print, but I got a reasonably priced copy from Abe books...he became highly respectable and oddly became a prominent freemason in Leeds where he eventually settled

lyons. sons, Jacob and rueben, together with a. friend, tried,  and very nearly succeeded, in murdering a man in an alley off bridlesmith gate, and. would have been around. where selectadisc was where I bought much of my priceless punk collection...as another poster has said, they'd. have had. a great time mugging people in the vic centre

Oh thanks for reminding me, the lengths the mother is prepared to go to!
Another is “The reading of the will”,totally directed at Jewish family life.l
There was inr about a market stall and the “spiel” the stsllholder used to get out of a difficult situation when a dissatisfied customer cut up rough!
Thanks again.Viktoria.

There is quite a lot of useful stuff here, and several groups on f*cebo*k if you use that?

I found a real metziah when I bought the new Suffolk Burial index. Metziah is old Yiddish word for bargain, I think it also can mean "big deal". My whole Suffolk mishpucha (family) can be a bit easier to trace now.

This reminds me of a really good book: "Outwitting History; The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books." It's an interesting story.
