RECORDS OF THE RAMSGATE JEWISH COMMUNITY
1829 – 1962
Introduction
The records of the Ramsgate Jewish Community in the 19th and 20th centuries
are contained in several MS books preserved in the Archives of the Spanish and
Portuguese Jews' Congregation London, which for over 100 years had responsibility
for the Montefiore Endowment at Ramsgate [1].
The earliest book (MS 1688) is a leather-bound volume with a badly - damaged
cover. A torn red leather label on the front is inscribed in gold lettering ‘MOSES &
JUDITH MONTEFIORE’ with an incomplete Hebrew date. Sir Moses Montefiore
evidently intended the book to record events connected with his synagogue which
he had opened in 1833 [2]. It was kept at least from the later 19th century by the
Minister of the Synagogue but was abandoned in 1914. Births between 1829 and
1914 and burials between 1862 and 18- 86, notably of Lady Montefiore and of Sir
Moses himself, and two in 1900 are recorded. The other books contain formal
records of marriages between 1838 and 1962 (MSS 148, 156) and a burial register
from 1872 to the present day (MS 187) together with a Minute Book of the Burial
Society (MS 1675). (There are also Minute Books of the Montefiore Endowment
Committee, MSS 281, 1609, 1610).
Full details of the births and marriages have been transcribed and are listed in
the following sections. Details of burials have been published as: Ramsgate Jewish
Cemetery, by Benedict Kelly and Gerald Tripp, 2016.
Births
The names of 75 children born in Ramsgate between 1829 and 1914 recorded in
MS 1688 are listed below. Details of one child born in 1928 were noted on a loose
sheet. The children belong to families of officials of the synagogue (e.g. Myers,
Afrigan) or Collegiates of the Judith Lady Montefiore College (e.g. Amschejewitz)
and of local worshippers at the synagogue. One was the child of refugees from Paris
in 1914.
Marriages
Sixty marriages were registered in Ramsgate between 1838 and 1962 [3], mainly
in families of the small Jewish community, Collegiates of the Judith Lady
Montefiore College, local residents - merchants, tradespeople, teachers and the
like. Before 1900 the marriages took place in private homes [4], usually those of
the brides, and thereafter in the Montefiore Synagogue. They were for the most part
performed by the Ministers or Collegiates.
On occasion before 1910 this function was carried out by the Haham (Artom,
No.5 and Gaster, Nos. 16,20) and Hazan Piza (No.10) from London. Much later in
1
the 1950s Hahain Gaon officiated at the marriages of two daughters of Rabbi
Shemtob Gaguine, Principal of the College and Ab Beth Din of the London
Congregation.
The following list giving details of the marriages has been compiled from the
duplicate Ketubot (Hebrew marriage contracts) in the Congregation's archives
combined with the civil marriage registers. No duplicate Ketubot for dates before
1900 have been found but those after 1900 are included in the Congregation's
Ketubot books on pages cut out and sent to Ramsgate to be completed by the
Minister, signed at the ceremony and returned for re-insertion. Eleven marriages
are recorded from Ketubot only, the parties evidently having had an earlier Register
Office marriage.
In 1939-40 a number of marriages took place of refugees then at Kitchener
Camp, Richborough, near Sandwich, a few miles from Ramsgate. This military
camp, unused since the First World War, was leased from the Government by the
Central Council for Jewish Refugees in 1938, brought into use and run by the
refugees themselves [5]. It eventually housed 5000 men [6]. The majority of them,
once war was declared, volunteered to serve the Allied cause. Many were accepted
into the Auxiliary Pioneer Corps; others worked in a support capacity, - the camp
having become a training depot under the command of the Marquess of Reading.
The brides of the refugees were mostly in domestic service, (virtually the only
employment open to them), in London or other parts of the country. One bride
(No.33) was a physician in a London hospital.
The chronological list of marriages below is followed by an alphabetical index of
participants' names; fathers and witnesses are specially marked.
[1] See Cardozo and Goodman "Think and Thank" The Montefiore Synagogue and
College, Ramsgate 1833 - 1933 (1933)
[2] Some pages record the contents of the charity boxes at the synagogue between
1833 and 1882 and the amounts for distribution to the poor locally and
through the Sephardi and Ashkenazi Rabbis in Jerusalem.
[3] Since the 1960s the synagogue has been rarely used.
[4] as in London before the 1860s. Except for No 19 in our list.

JUDITH LADY MONTEFIORE COLLEGE
To supplement the Ramsgate genealogical records a list is included below
of some forty Collegiates (resident members) of the Judith Lady Montefiore
College, the theological foundation built by Sir Moses Montefiore near his
synagogue at Ramsgate as a memorial to his wife Judith who died in 1862. It
was opened in 1869 and reorganised in 1896. A full account of its history is
contained in Think and Thank, by D. A. Jessurun Cardozo and P. Goodman,
1933.
The College was to have ten members each provided with a residence and
a stipend and required to follow a course of study and attend synagogue
services regularly. A few scholars were appointed in Sir Moses' lifetime and
the others by the Montefiore Endowment which was established after his
death. They came from various parts of the country and from abroad; most
were Ashkenazim, and many were in their declining years. In the 1930s
several refugee scholars found a haven in the College.
In 1952 the College was transformed into a teaching institution to train
young Sephardi men as teachers and ministers. It was transferred to London
in 1960, and the college buildings were eventually pulled down.
