Benjamin Gompertz came from a family of merchants who left Holland and settled in England. He was one of three sons born in England to a Dutch family which, although from Holland, was Jewish. His mother, Leah Cohen, was the second wife of the diamond merchant Solomon Barent Gompertz. Benjamin was self educated, learning mathematics by reading Newton and Maclaurin. He had to take this route because he was denied admission to universities since he was Jewish. In fact he was greatly helped in his mathematical education by the Spitalfields Mathematical Society which was later to become the London Mathematical Society. Gompertz, writing to De Morgan, explained how he came to be a member of the Society [6]:-
As to the Mathematical Society, of which I was a member when only 18 years of age, having been, contrary to the rules, elected under the age of 21. How I came to be a member of that Society - and continued so until it joined the Royal Astronomical Society, and then was the President - was: I happened to pass a bookseller's small shop of second hand books, kept by a poor taylor, but a good mathematician, John Griffiths. I was very pleased to meet a mathematician, and I asked him if he would give me some lessons; and his reply was that I was more capable to teach him, but he belonged to a society of mathematicians, and he would introduce me. I accepted the offer, and I was elected, and had many scholars then to teach, as one of the rules was, if a member asked for information, and applied to one who could give it, he was obliged to give it, or be fined one penny.
On 10 October 1810 Gompertz married Abigail Montefiore, who came from a wealthy Jewish family with strong links with the stock exchange, at the Hambro Synagogue, London. They had three children, a daughter Justina Lydia born in 1811, a son Joseph born in 1814, and a second daughter Juliana born one year later. Gompertz himself joined the stock exchange in 1810 and he became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1819. The following year he read a paper to the Society which applied the differential calculus to the calculation of life expectancy. In 1824, the year his 10 year old son died, Gompertz was appointed as actuary and head clerk of the Alliance Assurance Company. This company had been set up by Sir Moses Montefiore, the brother of Gompertz's wife, at least in part to put Gompertz's mathematical and actuarial skills to good use.
Gompertz applied the calculus to actuarial questions and he is best remembered for Gompertz's Law of Mortality. Gompertz, in 1825, showed that the mortality rate increases in a geometric progression (see [10]). Hence, when death rates are plotted on a logarithmic scale, a straight line known as the Gompertz function is obtained. It is the most informative actuarial function for investigating the ageing process. The slope of the Gompertz function line indicates the rate of actuarial ageing. The differences in longevity between species are the result primarily of differences in the rate of ageing and are therefore expressed in differences in slope of the Gompertz function. His expertise on life tables was recognised at the highest level [2]:-
His expertise in this area led to his being consulted by government, including giving evidence to the select parliamentary committees on friendly societies in 1825 and 1827, and he did important computational work for the army medical board. His insights have remained central to the study of human mortality.
However, Tropp writes in [1]:-
[Gompertz's] rigid adherence to Newton's fluxional notation prevented wide recognition of his accomplishment, but he must be rated as a pioneer in actuarial science and one of the great amateur scholars of his day.
Gompertz also wrote about scientific instruments, writing Theory of astronomical instruments (1822), A new instrument called the differential sextant (1825) and On the converted pendulum (1829). He was an early member of the Royal Astronomical Society and served on its Council from 1821 to 1829. In particular he assisted Francis Baily in producing a catalogue of fixed stars. This venture began at a Council meeting on 30 November 1820 in Baily's house when a request for accurate tables was put forward to which the Council agreed to do their best. Gompertz assisted Baily in calculating positions of stars which was eventually published as Baily's Catalogue giving the constants for 3000 fixed stars.
Gompertz was a founder member of the Royal Statistical Society in 1834. He retired from his positions in 1848 but he took this as simply an opportunity to throw himself more vigorously into his mathematical studies. He published the mathematical work Hints on Porisms in 1850 and contributed a paper on the topic for which he is most famed, namely human mortality, to the International Statistical Congress of 1860. Although 86 years old at the time that the London Mathematical Society was proposed in November 1864, he was enthusiastic about the project which he joined after it was properly established at its first meeting on 16 January 1865. It was decided at this meeting that the Society would publish a journal, the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, and Gompertz began work on a paper which he intended to submit for publication. Sadly he died of a paralytic seizure at his home before he could complete the paper.
The quality of Gompertz's contributions is rightly praised by Miller in [2]:-
Gompertz's capacity for sustained, complex computation underlay all his work in whatever field. Tables of lives and tables of stars were generated by the same qualities and both represented a rationalizing spirit which informed the social philosophy of Gompertz and his friends ...

had a secret first wife Sarah Nunn (originally Nunes) 1802-19 was a cousin whose parents became Christian. He kept the marriage secret when he saw how his brother Abraham had been cut off when he married his first wife Mary Hall (later he married Henrietta Rothschild). When Horatio married Sarah Mocatta his family was immensely satisfied.
He had a second secret wife Maria Golding, then after he married Sarah he married his neice Charlotte Simcha Montefiore.

#455: (www.cemeteryscribes.com), Died 4 Sep 1893 Brighton Buried 7 Sep 1893 Balls Pond Road Jewish Cemetery. Inscription: In memory of JOSEPH BARROW MONTEFIORE born in the Island of Barbados the 24th June 1803 died on the 4th September 1893 Ellul the 23rd 5653.The Australian dictionary of Biography writes of Joseph Barrow Montefiore: "MONTEFIORE, JOSEPH BARROW (1803-1893), merchant and financier, was born on 24 June 1803 in London, the youngest son of Eliezer Montefiore, merchant, of Barbados and London, and his wife Judith, née Barrow. As a scion of a wealthy Sephardi family he was educated at Hurwitz's school at Highgate and at Garcia's academy at Peckham. On leaving school he was articled to a firm of London tea brokers, thus continuing in the tradition of the Montefiores of Barbados, who made their fortune in colonial trade. In 1826 he became one of the twelve 'Jew brokers' in the city of London, buying the privilege for £1500. However, being young and enterprising and with a penchant for larger speculative ventures he decided in June 1828 to emigrate to New South Wales, where he proposed to invest some £10,000 in the wool industry and the cultivation of drugs; he applied for a grant of 5000 acres (2024 ha
Recommended by the Treasury as 'most respectable' and a valuable acquisition to the colony, he arrived in Sydney in February 1829 in the Jupiter with his wife Rebecca, née Mocatta, and their two children, his partner David Ribeiro Furtado and his wife, and his brother-in-law George Mocatta. They established the trading firm J. B. Montefiore & Co., with an office in O'Connell Street. Montefiore acquired large tracts of land in New South Wales and by 1838 owned 12,502 acres (5059 ha) by grant or purchase, including Nanima station, near Wellington. Though a landowner, he never became an 'agriculturist' as he had originally intended. In partnership with his brother Jacob (1801-1895), who in 1835-39 was a member of the South Australian Colonization Commission in London, he made a large fortune in real estate, helped to found the Bank of Australasia and was one of the channels through which English capital contributed to the pastoral expansion and speculative boom of the late 1830s. Joseph B. Montefiore was one of the sponsors of the bill, which became known as the Forbes Act of 1834, advocating interest rates free from statutory limits to encourage the flow of capital into the colony: 'restrict the rate of interest', he warned a sub-committee of the Legislative Council, 'and you at once destroy the stamina of the colony'. After the depression the Montefiore firm in Sydney went bankrupt. The London firm had suspended payment in 1841 and Montefiore had returned to England
By 1844 the Montefiore brothers, assisted by numerous friends and possibly the London Rothschilds, were back in business and Joseph B. Montefiore decided to try his luck in South Australia. He arrived in Adelaide from London on 27 July 1846 bringing with him his wife, nine daughters and two sons, two servants, 'a harp, a piano and 300 packages', and soon set up in business with his nephew Eliezer Levi Montefiore as importers and shipping agents. Joseph invested heavily in copper mines and served on the board of a number of mining companies, notably the Royal South Australian Mining Co. He was a member of the stock exchange, a committee member of the Adelaide Chamber of Commerce and an original trustee of the Savings Bank. In 1851 he stood for election to the East Adelaide seat of the Legislative Council as a 'good friend of free trade and moderate, unhurried reform and an opponent of state aid' but was roundly defeated. True to the Montefiore tradition he retired from business when still in his fifties and in 1860 returned to London where he was active for many years as one of the founders and stalwarts of the Jewish reform movement. Montefiore was one of the earliest free Jewish settlers in New South Wales and was active in Jewish communal life from the start. He was the first president of the Jewish congregation of Sydney upon its official foundation in 1832 and helped to secure a land grant for a Jewish cemetery in 1835. In 1847, together with E. L. Montefiore, he pressed for a Jewish share in state aid to religion, by which means the nascent Jewish community of Adelaide meant to assert Jewish equality in South Australia. Likewise in 1851 he welcomed the General Education Act on behalf of the Adelaide Jewish community
Enterprising, urbane, and noted for his wit and prodigious memory, he was perhaps the outstanding representative in the Australian colonies of the richly endowed Sephardi merchants, financiers and scholars of London, the vanguard of Jewish expansion into a new world and of the Jewish emancipation movement in the old. He died on 8 September 1893 in Brighton leaving ten daughters and three sonsThese are the children of Joseph Barrow Montefiore and his wife Rebecca Mocatta, we learn from http://miriamhakedosha.blogspot.com/2008/08/montefiore-family.html: Georgiana Judith Barrow Montefiore [b.1828 London] Esther Hannah Barrow Montefiore [b.1829 at Sea]married to Eliezer Levi Montefiore Emily Barrow Montefiore [b.1831 Sydney NSW]married Moses Henriques Sarah Evelina Barrow Montefiore [b.1832 Sydney NSW] Justina Barrow Montefiore [b.1835 Sydney NSW]married 1863 Brazil to Joseph Levi Montefiore Augusta Barrow Montefiore [b. 1836 Sydney NSW] Josephina Barrow Montefiore [b.1837 London]married Leopold Offenheim Herbert Barrow Montefiore [b.1839 London] Marion Barrow Montefiore [b.1842 London] Horace Barrow Montefiore [b.1843 Isle of Thanet Kent]married Edith Lacey Thompson George Frederick Barrow Montefiore [b.1845]married Dorothy Frances Fuller Ada Barrow Montefiore [b.1848 Adelaide SA]married Saul Joshua Edith Barrow Montefiore [b.1848 Adelaide SA]married to David Nathan Helen Barrow Montefiore [b.1855 Adelaide

The free settlers came from a higher socio-economic group than most of the convicts. The free settler movement was a generally middle-class phenomenon, and some of its leading members belonged to the interlinked prominent families of Anglo-Jewry known as “the Cousinhood”. One notable example was Joseph Barrow Montefiore (1803–1893), a cousin of Sir Moses Montefiore. Born in London, he was the youngest son of Eliezer and Judith Montefiore. In 1826, at a cost of ₤1,500, he had bought a seat on the London Stock Exchange and become one of the twelve “Jew brokers” in the City. After arriving in Sydney with his wife and two children in 1830, he invested in the wool trade and mining, also acquiring extensive landed property by 1838. Together with his elder brother, Jacob Montefiore (1801–1895), he established JB Montefiore & Co. and helped to found the Bank of Australasia. It was at the suggestion of Sir Moses Montefiore that Jacob was one of the eleven commissioners appointed by King William IV to plan a convict-free colony in South Australia. When Australia’s first Jewish congregation (forerunner of Sydney’s Great Synagogue ) was established in 1832, Joseph Montefiore served as its first president, his name being a guarantee of Jewish respectability. The economic boom burst in 1840, however, and his firm went bankrupt. He returned to London but was soon back in business (with his nephew) as an importer and shipping agent in South Australia, where he became a leader of the Adelaide Jewish community. Eliezer Levi Montefiore, also prominent in communal affairs, was one of the country’s leading artists. Altogether, the Montefiores made a historic contribution to the development of Australia; and it is hardly surprising that there is a township called Montefiores in New South Wales and a Montefiore Hill overlooking the city of Adelaide.

1)Ann should be shown as born in Foreign parts (not)
2)Samuel was a reverend (Ann would not have married below her station)
