• Notes

  (Research):a. Jewish Chronicle 6 Jan 1871 The late Mrs. Abraham Henry- The lady was daughter of the late Rev. Solomon Lyon, Hebrew Professor of Cambridge, and widow of the late Abraham Henry of London and Ramsgate. She was born 17th September, 1788 and died on Friday last. Enjoying in early life advantages of a high education and the society of learned men connected with the University, when her father's failing sight threatened the family with poverty, she devoted her talents to their support. Soon after publication of a volume of her poems, she married. Her devotion to her husband's many years of declining health was equal to the exemplary conduct which she had proceeded toward her parents; when her husbands death left her with the cares and responsibilities of a large family, she discharged the duties of her position wisely. Her death was caused by natural decline of vital power, and she died without suffering from exhaustion, surrounded by the majority of her children. Her funeral was attended by a large circle of friends and by a number of pupils of Stepney School- an institution watched over by one of her sons. [3, 5]
