Notes - 1. As Solomon Solomon, Barnett's brother, gave London as his place of birth in the 1851161 Census' it is probable that Barnett was a/so born there and that they came to Portsmouth (Portsea ) from London at some time before 1808 when Barnett's name first appears when he marries Betsey the daughter of a member of the local community (Synagogue) and automatically becomes a member himself.
2. Barnett's Hebrew name was, "Issachar (Ber) b.Zvi Samuel"
3. Barnett probably died at Ordnance Row which is given as one of addresses and is referred to in his son Henry's obituary in 1844 in the Hampshire Telegraph.
4. Various addresses at Portsea and Portsmouth are given in the Rate Books and Navy Lists in Henry's first letter.
5. The Navy Lists give the Trading Addresses of Navy Agents.
6. A Navy Agent dealt with sailors pay arrangements as they were often at sea and wanted to have a good time when on land.
7. After the death of Barnett in 1828, Betsey continued to appear in the Navy Usts as his "widow and administration" at 38 College St. Portsea from 1828-Dec 1829 and then from March 1830-June 1835 at various addresses in LONDON.
8. Ref. letter dated 2. 1. 1996 from Henry Roche for London addresses if required.
9. Betsey was listed in the 1830 Portsea directory as "Clothes Saleswoman and Navy Agent'
10. To flesh out the family of Elizabeth Isaacs - The 1841 Portsea, Portsmouth Census gives "Henry Solomon aged 15 (which fits perfectly with the age of Barnett's son, Henry) at the home of Samuel & Lewis Isaacs at Hawk St.Portsea". Samuel, Lewis, Abraham & Henry Isaacs were sons of Israel Isaacs (Hebrew name of Asher b. Isaac lbshits i.e. from Ipswich), this family arrived in Portsmouth around 1805. Henry Roche thinks that when the death of Elizabeth (Betsey) Solomon is found she will be a Peski/Peska or maybe Beila bat. Asher (bat.= daughter of) and the sister of the four brothers above.
Also in 1828-1829 (after the death of Barnett in 1828) she is living at 38 College St.which was next door to L.(ewis) Isaacs, so she is probably living next door to her brother. The above is hypothetical but the evidence is compelling that it is a valid family connection.
11.Elizabeth married Aaron Joseph at Great Synagogue London on 9 March 1845, Aaron was a witness at the marriage of Lewis Phillipos & Sarah Solomon in 1846. [1]
