London Note on Marriage 1 Soon after the publication of Aaron's book in 1733 he and his wife Benvenida left London. Research suggests that they went to Ireland where their children would have been born. A few years later, in 1749 the Mahamad paid for a destitute Mendoza family to be brought from Ireland to London. 4 Note on Marriage 2 At marriage: Dowry: 100 pounds at 20 shillings each ((apx £12.000 2017)5 Note on Husband: Aaron MENDOZA Father was a Daniel but this paternal connection unconfirmed. The Amsterdam Sephardi community found it difficult to cope with the influx of destitute former New Christians, and people were paid to move elsewhere. Aaron arrive in London in 1714. He wrote the first book published by the London Spanish & Portugese Congregation, a translation of part of the Shukhan Aruch. This was published in 1733 to help ‘vindos’ (new arrivals) understand kashrut4 Note on Wife: Benvenida TUBI Benvenida Mendoza was the largest recipient of sedaca (charity= £5.5s) from the congregation 15 October 1749. Presumably Aaron died abroad in Ireland. A case can be made that Aaron died in Cork ca 1749 therefore with no income her large family (10 children) were destitute, because of their earlier connection with London they were assisted by the London Community on their return.5 Note on Child 8: Hagar MENDOZA - shared note Sister of Abigail Mendoza Note on Child 9: Abigail MENDOZA Jewish Historical Studies Vol. 41 (2007), P.29. The Mahamad as an Arbitration Court "The Mistress of the Villa Real School (children of the poor) complained about the misbehaviour of one of her girls:

On the 8 Tishri 5518 [27 Sep 1757] the Gentlemen of the Mahamad met when Sarah Lucena claimed that Hannah da Costa had borrowed money in the house of Guests to the value of nineteen shillings, when he had given this money to her and, having examined the case, they found the said Hannah da Costa guilty and that she had given the said money to Abigail Mendoza, for which they condemned both the girls to pay nine shillings and sixpence each to the said Guests and that neither of the girls may be admitted to the school until they have given satisfaction to Lucena."5 Sources 1 "File (merged): C:\Documents and Settings\Brian Whipp\My Documents\MENDOZA Family.ged".
