This is burial record from New Synagogue burial registers for Michael Abrahams and his second wife, Catherine 'Kitty' Abrahams, both of Mansell Street, Goodman's Fields, who were buried on 21 September 1849 and 19 October 1849 respectively.

Would anyone be willing to translate Hebrew names?

I have their marriage record on 21 March 1838: Michael Abrahams, widower, oil and colorman, of 51 Mansell Street, son of Lewis Abrahams and Catherine Abrahams, spinster, daughter of Michael Abrahams, married at groom's residence.

Both the groom, Michael Abrahams may have been a first cousin to Catherine/Kitty. There is no mention/photo in Cemetery Scribes. They were buried in Brady Street Jewish Cemetery in South Wall, Row 17. Would anyone kindly check out this?

Thank you, Brian (Australia)

Her names: The first name is a puzzle. Second name looks like a duplicate of Myer. Her father is also Eliezer.

The word preceding Kitty's name is an abbreviation of "the widow of" אלמ' מאיר בן אליעזר. The unabbreviated, single word in Hebrew is אלמנת.
