David Albert (Bertie) JACOBS (1892-1969)

So, by 1901 Emma JACOBS (nee Brown) and her 4 children were living with George ROBINSON in Acton, West London. Also living there is Phyllis May ROBINSON. She is listed as the daughter of George ROBINSON and almost certainly Emma was her mother. Research indicates that Phyllis was born on 1st April 1900 but the birth does not seem to have been registered.

David Jacobs (1862-1899)

David Jacobs, my grandfather, was born on 6th October 1862 in Brighton, Sussex. His parents were Henry Jacobs and Ellen Silverstone and his birth was recorded in the Birth Register of the Great Synagogue in London but I have not been able to find a Civil Registration Birth Certificate for him.
