Wright, Ramah Rachel (Born Abt 1866)

proper brummie kid
Hi, I'm researching my family tree, I've hit a wall, it's my great grandmothers parents, ive been getting conflicting info, as far as I know they are Henry and Louisa Wright nee Freeman (twin brother called Edward) but I've been told by a person that is incorrect, My great grandfather Emanuel Cohen was Jewish and I know they married in a synagogue but i dont know which one, I dont know if she converted or if she was born Jewish, all of my older family members who would have known have passed away and it wasnt really talked about, they were probably the last practicing jews in my lineage, I know my grandparents Alfred and Doris Married in All Souls Church, Witton on Oct 13th 1913
 
I can see both the birth - Jun qtr 1866 Aston - and marriage registration - Jun qtr 1886 Bham - neither of which can help by themselves.

There doesn't seem to be any helpful clues on the censuses.

So the easiest way would be to purchase the marriage certificate which should give her father's details and possibly the birth certificate to confirm.

It's fairly simple process...

You can buy a digital copy of the birth certificate which is only £2.50 so not too bad, though they are not available for marriage certificates sadly.

How does the person who says your info is incorrect know that and who do they say her parents were? Her mother possibly remarries to a John East.
 
thats the marr i found as well jan...was not sure either but henrys fathers name is isaac which i believe is a jewish name

lyn
 
There is a tree on Ancestry (I am always sceptical especially with no evidence) which suggests they married at Birmingham Register Office.
Interesting to find out or did they need a civil marriage as well as a Jewish one? I have no idea about the rules.

how do i apply for digital copies, it will save m a ton of money.
its because Louisa married somebody after Henry had passed so wouldnt believe that she was my great great grandmother

thanx hun
 
For some reason - probably the recorder making a mistake with her name - Ramah is listed as Amy on the censuses before she marries.

Interestingly, just noticed that in 1881 Ramah was living with her family on Henrietta St (no. 12) and Emanuel was listed as a servant of a John Pearce also Henrietta St (no. 21). So can easily see how they met each other.
