Part 856ab – Smith Robertson Genealogy – Fanny Abraham and William Barak – 1857 Marriage Registration

Good Day,

I’m back to my search and research of my ancestry and genealogy.

Following up from Part 852ab, Bernard very nicely provided me with a copy of the Entry of Marriage  from the General Register Office.  Here is a copy of the image.

IA Levy _____

GG-Grandaunt Fanny Abraham, according to the Marriage Registration, married William Barak at her family home at 5 Lisle Street in Leicester Square in the West End of London.  Also note the two witnesses: gg-granduncle Philip Abraham, gg-grandaunt Fanny's elder brother; and gg-granduncle Adolph Blumenthal, gg-grandaunt Fanny's brother-in-law and husband of her younger sister gg-grandaunt Matilda (née Abraham) Blumenthal.

Of course I have a question, what occupation is a CardBox Master?

And then there is the mystery in four years...

Thank you Bernard and Anne for your research and information.

Enjoy,

Jim
