How many Jim ??? better start searching again then hadnt I ???

marriages Viewing records 1-10 of 778 matches for: Lazarus

Hi Kathleen I suppose it could be, I hadnt thought of that , this family are a pain

Could Lazarus be her middle name and the enumerator just forgot to put the 'ditto' after it? Can't find any marriages on ancestry for surname Lazarus. Kath. x

thanks for your thoughts, I am very depressed today ,thought I had the right info and ordered the certs nearly all wrong, how many Abraham Rose and family could there be for gods sake ??? I am wondering if this family are the children of his brother as I seem to recall his brother came here with him, that will teach me to not be in such a hurry . The good news is I got the copy of The Times dated 31/3/1866 which has the full Bankruptcy case for Abraham Rose absolutely fascinating reading which I would not have known about, without some wonderful help on here thank you again

In Victorian times and before people often didn't worry about the ''in-law'' bit (except when explaining step children, where they were quite likely to say, dau/son-in-law, which is confusing for us today, to say the least!!) Anyway, mother, father, brother, sister, were widely used for non blood relations. I will bet you lots of dosh that this lady is not Abraham's mum (unless there is a Whitechapel in Germany lol!!) I first became aware of this when reading Pride and Prejudice at a young age, Mr Wickham says to his new sister-in-law, Elizabeth Bennett (his wife's sister) ''I am afraid I interrupt your solitary ramble, my dear sister?''' So if Jane Austen thought it OK, so do I lol MMM

Alternatively her place of birth could be wrong. nell

Valerie She could be the wifes mother. I have census entries where someone was recorded as mother/sister/brother etc in relation to a male head of the house but I know they were infact his inlaws. Jacqui

the mother is on all the uk census and he only appears after 1861 although born in 1841 thats why and I know he was born in germany

Why would they have had to be born in the same country? My grandfather was born in Brazil, his sister in the US and his brother in France . As for their parents, My g grandfather was born in Hungary and my g grandmother was born in Austria! Pat

I thought it was probably his mother but dont understand it at all as he was born in germany and the census says she was born in Whitechapel

Hi, The relationship, means to the head therefore I would assume that it is his mother. Maybe she remarried to a Lazarus? Pat

if on a census the head and his wife appear with someone who is the mother would she be his or her mother hope this makes sense as the Heads surname is Rose ( yes him again) but the mothers surname is Lazarus which I did not think was the wifes maiden name
