Isaac Lemon is the first and only Jewish ancestor in the Knight family that we know of. Isaac was born in 1750, calculated from his burial transcript. He was part of the Jewish community in Liverpool according to the "Records of the Jews in Liverpool", 1899. This document identifies from Gore's Directory 1790 Isaac Lemon, broker, 11 Bridge street as Jewish. The "Records" say about the Jewish community "We find that in 1780 they assembled for worship in a small house in Turton Court, near the present Custom House, and probably were for the most part persons engaged in vending new and second-hand wares to the seafaring population." It postulates that around 1800 there may have been about 100 Jews in Liverpool. This is reinforced by "Settlers arrived in the mid 18th century and there is a record of an early synagogue in Stanley Street in 1753. Jews soon established a niche supplying chandlery and general provisions to the local seafaring quarter, while sending out hawkers into the local communities with cheaper goods." According to Gores Directory of Liverpool Isaac Lemon was a broker living at 47 Crosbie Street. In the 1801 census the family lived in Crosbie St. front of house, 1 family, 5 male and 3 females. The Knight family were also living in Crosbie Street. According to daughter Elizabeth's baptism record and son Martin's christening document, Isaac was a broker. Abode at that time was Crosbie St. His address at his death was still at Crosbie Street. He died in 1819 and was not buried in a Jewish cemetery but in St. Thomas, Church of England6,8,10,11,12. |
