Hi everyone
I have just received the marriage certificate between JOSEPH SOLOMON and REBBECCA SOLOMON.21st October 1857 at Manchester synagogue

I had hoped the Rebecca was my ancestor JANE SIMS as she changed her name to Rebecca when she married Joseph Solomon but I do not think that this is the correct certificate .
It gives Jane/Rebecca's fathers name as ABRAHAM SOLOMON deceased and her father was THOMAS SIMS and he was alive at the time of her marriage.
On the certificate it gives their address as Davison street Manchester.

Could someone please look at the 1861 census to see if they can see a Joseph Solomon b1833 with wife Rebecca Solomon b1829 living in Manchester ?
thank you

Thank you everyone for the information which you have found
Karin and Jacqueline,the marriage you have found looks really promising. Thank you sooooooooooo much. I will send for the certificate and let you know

Jane was brought up as a Baptist and although most of the children where christened ,as they grew up ,those that did not have a jewish name took one and often married jewish partners.
It took me a long long time to sort out the children as sometimes they appeared with their given Christian names at others their jewish ones, add to that Solomon gets mis-spelt quite often , it has been quite a challenge so I really do appreciate the boards help

Karin ,the death you have found I will take a look at ,I do have a date for his death but without looking I cannot remember what it is, I will see if it ties in,Thank you

Thanks Jacqueline.

In regard to the baptism of the children I believe that Jane/Rebecca wasn't Jewish so the children have probably have followed her faith.

I think I may have found Josephs death info for you Kath I certainly hope so!

Hi,
As others have said maybe they weren't married legally in 1851 but tied the knot a bit later. You also mentioned Jane was known as Rebecca so maybe this couple is who you're after??? from FreeBDM. It's always worth looking outside expected dates when you hit a brick wall. Hope this helps.

Kath - then, as now, people lived together as man and wife without going through a ceremony. As (so far) there seems to be no record of a marriage, your ancestors may be amongst those!

Sorry I am not on the same wave length as you.
Do you mean her first husband or second ?
Her first husband James Birch I believe died in 1848
Jane is a Solomon on the 1851 census

Sorry I missed your point.

Jacqueline

The point I was trying to convey is that Jane's husband was almost certainly alive.

George,Thank you !
That certainly looks like him as he was described as a Hardware dealer on some of the census.
I was hoping he was with other family members but not to be at least I now know were he was !

Curious! The joseph Solomon in Manchester in 1851 says he's a hardware dealer but in 1871 he's a jeweller.

Also Jane in 1851 says she's born Ashton under Lyne but in 1871 she says Colchester, Essex.
