Elias Mocatta[edit]

The father-in-law Elias Mocatta of Danvers has a well-known Sephardic family name. According to [1] he was of London (in 1860) and his wife was Julia de Leon of West Indian background. This seemingly rules out Elias Mocatta (1804-1896),[2] a prominent person of the name who married into the Goldsmid family.

A strong candidate is the Elias Mocatta mentioned in JSTOR 156827 as being in Venezuela between 1823 and 1837, and later in Liverpool during the 1840s. He was an associate of Robert Ker Porter, and an agent of Barings Bank. His father had been a partner in the Mocatta & Goldsmid banking firm. He was also a Christian convert.

The wedding was carried out by the Rev. William Abraham Mocatta, vicar of Bispham. Here it says he was baptised by his parents "Elias Mocatta (Merchant) and Julia of Islington Square" in 1843, from a Liverpool parish. So the hypothesis is that he was the brother of Louisa Mocatta.

Some details of this Elias (stated as 1798-1881), son of Moses Mocatta, are here. Louisa mentioned for the 1851 census, in Birkenhead, but not for 1861 (Ormskirk) after her marriage. Seems we have the correct background here. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:59, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
