Re: Robert Levitt and the Crimean War?

Hi David,

Cannot say for certain that the Asselby/Howden Levitt's are tied in with the Brantingham ones. It would be good to find a link if possible but I haven't found one. My problem is the lack of online birth records for Asselby. If your sister comes up with a link I should love to hear from you/her.

Regards

Hello there.

Bit of a late response I know, but my sister is tracing our family tree and has gone back as far as 1720 (ish). We lived around Brantingham from this point and around the Yorkshie area. I notice Brantingham is quite close to Howden and wondered if there was any link with the Levitt's in Howden with those in Brantingham.

Please let me know if you want to enquire further as my sister is sending over a paper copy of the family tree (she now lives in US)

Thanks

Dorothy Elizabeth LEVI(TT) and Elsie Ruth LEVI(TT)

martinbriscoe57 — 2011-01-11 16:47:29Z

I wonder if anyone knows anything about Dorothy Elizabeth LEVI(TT) and Elsie Ruth LEVI(TT)?

They started off as LEVI then the became LEVIT and LEVITT.

Dorothy died young but Elsie lived to a good ago so wonder if there are any descendants.

There was a recent television programme about Dorothy, little is know about her after 1909. I have found details of her death but just interested to know what she was doing after 1909.

mauricea186 — 2010-11-08 10:56:53Z

I have just seen your posting of 2 Nov 2009 and I think it worth letting you know that a couple of objects directly linked to Robert Levitt turned up on the Antiques Roadshow last year (Season 32 Episode 16). One of these was the leather collar that he wore and the other was a letter to his wife. The objects are in the possession of Robert Levitt's great great grandaughter and she may be able to help you with the information you seek. I suggest contacting her through the BBC.

Re: Quarter or Quarton Levitt

Hello, my brother,cameacross a Quarton Levitt in Brantingham in Yorkshire in the late 1700s. He had a son John Levitt who was also the parish recorder. I don't know if this helps at all. My maiden name is Levitt and we are in the processing of researching the family tree.

Charles Levitt 1837 - Suffolk

Ryla13 — 2010-09-01 21:17:52Z

Hi

Looking for info on Charles Levitt born 1837 in Suffolk according to the 1881/1891/1901/1911 census. However unable to be certain as to which one he is on 1841/51 census.
His father is also called Charles according to his marriage certificate (1875)(Shown as Charles (Deceased) when he married Jane Knight).
Charles was in the army from 1859 to 1878, and therefore is not on 1861/71 census as he was stationed in India for most of this period.
Cannot find any definitive records before 1859 when he went in the army. His Place of Birth is shown as Orford on his service records.

Any help would be great!

Many Thanks

Karen

I assume that all of these refer to medals struck to honour the Crimean War but which is which?

My mother doesn't know much about her father (he died when she was 12) I am trying to find out more about the family.
He had many siblings (one of his parents re-married so it was a mixed family).. Ida, Mary, Bella, Hymie (who had Mel and Mort), Louis, Nathan, William (Bill) who had Leo and Bertha, Jack who had Leona and Rick (possibly Bel.
Somehow the name Cristall is in there. There was an Aunty A. Cristall, but I don't know what the 'A' stands for. I know my grandfather was born in Rumsey, Alberta. Any information is much appreciated.

Levitt family from Ireland then Durham

ord_sween — 2009-02-22 12:33:25Z

Trying to trace back Peter Levitt from Durham and his family in Ireland. I know that Peter was born in Ireland (Rochfort, Westmeath I think around 1880). His father was Matthew Levitt and mother Ann Finley Levitt. Scant detais other than that though I'm afraid. Family history has it that Peter was a poacher when he came to Durham, where he married Sarah and had at least one child, called Ellen

I believe my great grandfather's name was Samuel and his brother was Adolph. Adolph I believe invented the donut machine which ignited the donut revolution.

I know nothing about this side of the family and I have tried searching and can find nothing. Anything will help. Thank You.

Re: Obituary of Helen Levitt

maryachtrh — 2007-10-19 23:09:23Z

Appears in “ Long Beach Press – Telegram, 1 January 1952

WOMAN KILLED BY BLAST AND FIRE

An explosion and fire early today took the life of Helen Levitt, 60, in her garage apartment at 2518 Reservoir Street.

Her landlord, William Amidon, said he was awakened by the blast at 3:50 a.m., and saw the garage home in flames.

Firemen quickly doused the fire, but found Mrs. Levitt dead in her bed.

An oil heater was believed to be the source of the blaze.

Mrs. Levitt’s body was identified by Rolf Meuer, 2850 Leeward Street, who said he was her partner in a Randsburg mine.

I AM "marilynk1953" AND THIS IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I am continuing to search for family members. Albert W. Levitt was my birthfather. He was not married to my mother, Clarcey "Clare" Aubry, at the time of my birth on June 15, 1953. I am not sure he even knew my mother was pregnant with his child. He was a truck driver at the time they met. My mother was a waitress at a Truck Stop named "The 5th Wheel" on Gratiot, near Hall Road.

Re: Origin of Levitt

AlisonDay51 — 2007-07-02 22:37:58Z

Two possible sources, I have heard. The first is that the name comes from one of the numerous locations in Normandy called Livet such as Jonqueret-de-Livet. I believe that on the Battle Abbey Roll some guy called Livet accompanied William.

Another origin would be Jewish. Taken from the tribe of Levi. The Levites were priests and musicians chosen by God. Although they were one of the 12 tribes of Israel they were not to be allocated part of the land as God himself was their inheritance.

I know which one I prefer - and it ain't French.

I know sometimes you have to wait for quite a time on this site to hear from people.

My mother's family were Levitt's and they lived in Barnsley (not far away) and I know for a fact they lived in that area in the c1900's. Unfortunately, I don't have any information because my mother could never be bothered to trace the family line. Just for interest, my grandfather's name was Maurice and he was a miner.

bronwynuk — 2007-03-10 21:32:59Z

I am trying to trace a Bernard Robert Levitt born in approximately 1912. He was in the R.C.A. in WW2 and came across to England and served for a time at Colchester Barracks, Essex. In 1941 he married an English lady and on the marriage certificate gives his address as 368 (or 36b) Lindy Avenue California.
In 1945 he left England and we didn't hear from him again. He has a son left in England now in his 60s and also a g.daughter and his son would so much like to know more about his father he saw for such a short time and his mother never mentioned again until the day she died. We would like to know more about Bernard and his family as we haven't any other documents on him or any photos. He was named as a Bachelor on the marriage certificate but probably has since remarried in either the US or Canada.
His father was Frederick Levitt. We have searched so many records but still we can't fit the puzzle we have been left with.
