Mark Marks is my ggg grandfather and by the looks of his name, you would have thought i am from a jewish family. BUT 10 years later i am still looking for the jewish connection and still i cannot find it. I have completely hit the brick wall and im at a loss as to where to look next!

Mark Marks was born abt 1791 in Bloomsbury, london and died by committing suicide in 1849 living at 93 Blackman Street, London.

He married at St Martins in the fields,Westminster to Elizabeth Waltham 25th Dec 1813 which is a Christian church and his employment was a Carver & Gilder.

i have found his Military records, newspaper cuttings from when he went bankrupt and others newspaper records when his friend and neighbour was stabbed, yet i cannot find any birth records or any information as to who his parents are?

can anyone please give me any advice as to where i can look for this information.

i have tried jewishgen and i also have subs for ancestry

many thanks in advance

Annie
