I read your message and can tell you that Regina Sevi, born in Malta, is my grandmother and her husband Leon Behar, born in Constantinople, was in the carpet business - they married in Manchester. They had five daughters, one died when little. They came to London after the birth of their first daughter. The surviving four sisters were: Victoria, Ruth, Dorothy & Pearl. Of the next generation; there are two - myself (mother: Ruth) and David (mother: Victoria) who has two children. Dorothy is the only one still alive, at 88 yrs.and she is a widow - she is very excited that we have found some family. I knew Rachel (known as Rae) very well, as she came to London from the Isle of Man quite often. I think there is some family in the USA but don't know details,although Dorothy says Bert is the one who went to the USA. Do get in touch.Thanks,
Frances Smith (nee Benardout)

Carolyn,
Why not click on the yellow 'Image' symbol at the left of Raphael's name, and view the census image? There is a small charge, but you'll be able to see the record for yourself - and find out if there were people with other surnames in the household.
My bet is that the transcriber misread a long thin 'S' for a fancy 'L'. But the only way to be sure is look at the image.
Best wishes,
Hugh

I am searching for info on my father's family.
My great great grandfather Raphael Sevi married Sarah Kodesh (they
were both born in Constantinople) they spent some time in
Malta, before settling in England. They had 8 children Joseph Bertrum,
Eliezer Leslie (born in Malta approx 1880/1), Regina, Lunar Anne,
Absalom, Moses, Isaac Albert & Rachel. I have found 4 graves in the
Jewish section of the Isle of Man cemetery in Douglas
Absalom 19/01/1953
Lunar Anne 15/011/954
Eliezer Leslie 28/03/1956
Rachel 23/09/1977
My great grandfather Eliezer married Grace Ada Spencer on 15/01/1907
in Manchester. They had 4 children Grace Regina, Jack, Eric & Albert (all born in either England or Scotland.
My grandfather Albert married Phyllis Raphael? & had 3 children
Rex, Leon Raphael & Alaric Joseph all three boys were born in New
Zealand ( all now deceased)
There are stories the family originally came from Seville, Spain &
were carpet merchants & that their name was Zvi.
If anyone knows of this family I would be grateful if you could help
me fill in the gaps. (Of which there are many)!
Many Thanks
Carolyn Vale Nee Sevi
