| Notes |
- 1. Both the death of Solomon and Rachael were reported in the Jewish Chronicle.
2. Solomon Solomon's Hebrew name was - "Solomon b. Zvi Samuel" (ref Patronymic below).
3. A patronymic shows descent from the father by the addition of e.g. b (ben) after the son's given name, followed by the fathers given name. e.g. Solomon b. Zvi (Henry) Samuel.
4. Solomon's gravestone at Southampton gives "Solomon ben (son of) Abraham Zvi Samuel", which seems to give the father three given names.
5. Solomon Solomon married Rachael Abraham the daughter of a member of the Portsmouth Community (Synagogue?) and becomes a member himself.
6. Various addresses at Portsea and Portsmouth are given from the Rate Books and Navy Lists in Henry's first fetter.
The two brothers appeared in the Navy Lists from 1814 onwards and the rate Books from about 1808.
7. Solomon continues to appear in the Navy Lists in Portsmouth until 1834 and in the Synagogue Minute Book until 1811111832 and and it was probably shortly after this that the family moved to Southampton where he was probably one of the few founder members of the new congregation there which was previously part of the Portsmouth community. Refer to Henry's letter for Southampton addresses.
8. In the 1861 census Solomon was described as «retired from business as a hotel keeper", but he must still have retained the business as he died at the hotel 5 years later.
9. His will and probate state formerly of 13 Portland St. All Saint's Parish, this is his address in the 1861 census and is a/so the address at which Rachael died.
10. His Will signed 2519118611eft part shares to his two sons Abraham Hammond merchant now (in 1861) residing in NY. USA and the Honorable George Solomon now (in 1861) residing in Kingstown, Jamaica. On 271711866 when the will was probated Abraham Hammond renounced his share and it all went to the Honorable George (probate of £7000 pounds which is equivalent to at least A.$42,000 in current value). When the will was probated in 1866 the address of the Honorable George, merchant, was Mincing Lane, London. Notice that his other 4 sons and 2 daughters were not included in the will.
11. Solomon Solomon was a member of the Southampton Town Council, Jews only began to be elected to civic duties around 1841 in Hampshire.
12. The 1861 census a/so includes a cousin of Solomon Solomon, George Moss. He was a Spirit Merchant, aged 29 (b. 1832 at Portsmouth) he would have to have been a son of one of Solomon or Rachael's siblings, he seems to be a bit young! [1]
