Nathan NATHAN had a son called Samuel, who was born about 1783 according to his age on the death certificate.
On 6 January 1808 he married Hannah Mendes, daughter of David Mendes, at the Great Synagogue, Duke's Place, London. They had a lot of children
Simon b 1808
David b 1809
Aaron b 1812
Jane b 1818
John b 1819
Sarah b 1821
Abraham b 1823
Samuel b 1824
Nancy b 1826
Rachel b 1827
Hannah b 1831
Fanny b 1833
Henry b 1835
Now I have my doubts about the last three because according to other records Hannah Mendes was born in 1786 so she would have been 45 when she had Hannah. OK so that is believeable but I really can't see her having Fanny at age 47 or Henry at age 49. I could be wrong and they are listed on the 1851 census as her children but if I am sceptical and need more proof you will bear with me won't you.
Samuel Nathan was a dealer in Southwark and it was in an auction sale room on Pall Mall that he was attacked by three men who were indicted for "Feloniously killing and slaying" him in December 1842. He died at home at 1 Borough Road, Southwark two weeks after the attack. The three men were found guilty and sentenced to six months hard labour, because the court believed there was provocation.
Samuel left everything he had to his wife Hannah. He did not mention any of his children in the will so the oldest must already have been established in their careers.
More of that next time.
