Alexander Alexander
I think I mentioned to you some time ago that my great great grandfather, Solomon Beyfus, and his brother, Philip, had a connection with the Exeter community. In Doreen Berger's book The Jewish Victorians, she states they sent a gift to Mr Alexander, President of the Exeter Congregation, towards defraying expenses of the funeral of the man whose body was found in a wood near Exeter (25.9.1874); the dead man's name may well be Solomon Cappelle, since that is the name quoted under the above extract. Is there any record of this communication, and why would they have become involved? I know Philip's wife, Louisa Benjamin, originated from Plymouth but how all this ties in with Exeter is beyond my comprehension. Aubrey Jacobus
