No....I do not have a civil marriage cert for Sam and Fanny? Is there anywhere I can look for that? Is it possible they only got a certificate from Beth David and not a civil marriage cert? Doesn't sound right.

There are 2 x Samuel Cohen's and 1 x Sam Cohen in this site re; Western Land Grants -
Could they have had a 'silent wedding' - 'stille chuppah' - yes, that's also possible.
Sometimes people ignored civil formalities...were the family particularly religious (frum)?Last edited by naomiatt; 29-03-10, 09:58.

The woman standing at a post and turning sideways is Fanny Myers Cohen (d) on her wedding day.
The handsome looking swashbuckler guy standing over his wife and 2 daughters is Lewis Myers, Martha Harris Myers with Fanny and ?
The two guys standing together with their arms around each other are Bernard Cowan (Cohen) on the left and Max Cohen (d) my father on the right.
The two women (first photo) I think is Sam's mother on the left and Martha Harris Myers
The man in the middle with 2 women on either side are bcsierra and M children of Fanny (d) and Sam.
The two men are Sam Cohen (d) and his father-in-law (now aged) Lewis Myers.
Have a look at that Louis Myers...."a movie star"..........then see him as an old man with his son-in-law.
