On June 21, 1839, a wedding took place between the brother of Libman Levy and the sister of Catherine Boeles (the couple in the marriage contract of 1834 reported in the previous blog). The brother was Gustave Isaac Levy and the sister was Hester Boeles.
This marriage contract is significant because it identifies Hester Boeles as being born in Bergen-op-Zoom in the District of Breda, Holland, whereas her sister's, Catherine's, marriage contract simply states Breda as her birthplace.
The marriage contract was registered in the town of Metzervisse, Moselle, France. Gustave Isaac Levy was born on December 16, 1793, in Uhrwiller, Bas Rhin, France, to Gustave Nemele Levy and Ester Isaac Schener. Hester Boeles was born on August 19, 1815, to Leman Benjamin Boeles and Rachel Moyse Cerf.
The bride and groom are the aunt and uncle of Phoebe Barbe Levy, the wife of Aaron Cerf.
