You might need to get one of the children's birth certs, in order to get Rachel's maiden name. I wonder if it's Asher, given Henry's middle name:

Births Jun 1840
Myers Henry Asher Whitechapel 2 540

Births Dec 1838
MYERS Hannah Whitechapel 2 483

They are the only two on FreeBMD that match the 1841 census entries so I'd say they are probably the ones.

Yes that is the district/volume/page info that you will need to get the cert.

Cheers

There are two marriages of Israel Myers on Boyds index, not your one, but maybe the place to look.

1832 / Myers Israel / Solomon Esther /Great Synagogue / London


1800 / Myers Israel / Levy Rebecca / Great Synagogue / London

Steven, the birth quarters for the children (going by what Richard added) are June 1840 for Richard and Dec 1838 for Hannah.

The Israel Myers / Rebecca Levy marriage looks interesting, as there is a Sarah Levy living with the family in 1841. Maybe Israel & Rebecca were Israel John Myers' parents?
