    Lipman Eliezer Lipman
    1800–1874
    BIRTH 1800 • Spitalfields, Middlesex, England
    DEATH 01 AUG 1874 • Aldgate, London, England
    I originally thought the above person was my 4th Great Grandad.
    I thought he was the father of Jonas Lipman.
    Jonas Lipman (3rd Great Grandad)
    1825–1887
    BIRTH 1825 • Whitechapel, Middlesex, England
    DEATH 1887 • 7 Bury St, St Mary Axe, London, Middlesex, United Kingdom

    I have a marriage cert that claims Lewis Lipman is in fact the father of Jonas Lipman.
    Lewis Eliezar Leipman
    1789–1883
    BIRTH ABOUT 1789 • 1 Cutler St, Aldgate Middlesex London England
    DEATH 30 MAY 1883 • 30 Cutler Street, Aldgate, London

    Lewis Lipman is Lipman Eliezer Lipmans brother.

    I have conflicting evidence - please see this link from a professional genealogist that claims Lipman Lipman to be the father of Jonas. Please see link provided.

    http://www.theartofrandomology.co.uk/genealogy/page051.php

    Please see below the Marriage certificate of Jonas Lipman to Rachel Jacobs that clearly says Lewis Lipman is the father of Jonas Lipman.

    I can not find any census that states either Lewis or Lipman as the father of Jonas?

    PLEASE HELP.

    Thanks
    Nick

    Please see below - This clearly says Jonas Lipman son of Lipman Lipman Publican. Jonas Lipman - Fruit Dealer - he was an Orange Merchant.

    There seems to be 2 marriages for a Jonas Lipman

    1849 to Rachael Jacobs

    or

    1852 to (either) Sarah Abrahams or Hannah Lazarus

    The one that married in 1849 clearly states that his father was Lewis Lipman. Could the one married in 1852 have the father who was Lipman Lipman ?

    1849 to Rachael Jacobs - That is my Jonas Lipman.
    I know that Lipman Lipman married twice but to a Catherine Sanders and a Rebecca Nathan. How reliant is a Marriage cert over a Freedom of the City cert?
    Could Lewis have lied on the Freedom of City cert saying Lipman Lipman was his father? It clearly says on his marriage cert Lewis Lipman?

    I'm not so sure myself now. As Jonas who married Rachael was living at 13, Ebenezer Square, St Botolph, Aldgate. in the censuses.

    In my humble opinion I think that Lipman Lipman is a mistake made by the person filling out the form.

    It says on the form that his father is a publican

    In 1851 Living at Clothes Exchange, Phils Buildings, Saint Botolph Aldgate, is a Lewis Lipman (1799) with wife Mary and 2 daughters. Lewis is a Victualler And Cook Shop.

    So we def think Lewis is the father? I have this for Lewis Lipman that claims he occupies Phil's Buildings in Hounsdich as a Coffee House Keeper and a beer retailer in 1856, could this be him?

    Well his marriage cert sadly doesn't give an occupation for his father.

    His Freedom letter says his father is Lipman Lipman and he's a publican.

    The 1851 census says Lewis is a Victualler (a person who is licensed to sell alcohol.)

    Lewis is given the freedom in 1856 and gives his address the same as that in the 1851 census.

    In my opinion I would say Jonas's father was Lewis. But I wont say I'm 100%. (but I'm as sure as I can be with the evidence provided)

    Thanks so much! Would you happen to have the 1851 census to forward to me? I would really appreciate this for my records. Thanks again!

    If anyone thinks I have made a mistake please don't hesitate to put me in my place, I would rather be told I have it wrong than Nick get the wrong information.

    Terry, The 1851 census says that he is living at 129 Phils Buildings, Clothes Exchange, the freedom of the city cert 1856 does state the same address BUT
    it also says Lewis Lipmans father was John Lipman. This is not true, his father and Lipman Lipman's father is indeed -
    Michael Lipman
    1759–1848
    BIRTH 1759 • Whitechapel, Middlesex, England
    DEATH 1848 • Whitechapel, Middlesex, England

    Which makes me think that this cert might be more accurate? - Would this address stated Middlesex St, Publican, 13 Exchange Sq not be Lipman Lipmans address? as his pub was in middlesex st..

    In post #5

    Jonas Lipman fruit dealer is living at 13 exchange buildings. That is also given as the address of Lipman Lipman in your #2.

    You say that the marriage of Jonas to Racheal is yours. He says his father is Lewis Lipman.

    Have just found the 1861 census where Lewis is a Coffee house keeper. Living at Still Alley, Phils Building.

    Lewis & Lipman's father is Michael Lipman - below.

    upload_2020-9-9_21-51-10.png

    But the freedom of the city cert for LEWIS states that his father is John Lipman from Glasgow? on the same freedom of the city cert it states that
    Lewis is indeed occupying Phil's Buildings as a coffee house keeper.
    Please see below.

    I've looked through the censuses and the only Lipman Lipman I can find is born around 1805 and the only census I can find him on is the 1871 census with his wife Rebecca. They are living at Duke Street, Aldgate, City of London. He is a General Dealer.

    I can't find him on any other censuses.

    The marriage cert for your Jonas says his father is Lewis.

    There are 2 Jonas Lipman's around that area around the same time.

    Your's born 1825 and another born 1831'ish

    How sure are you that the Freedom cert for Jonas is for your Jonas. Could it not be for the other.

    Your Jonas was a fruit dealer, the other one was a baker.

    You're right this is a tricky one, so many conflicting pieces of evidence.
