1841 UK Census Hyam Hyams listed as a jeweller living with his brother in law and sister Israel and Katherine Mombach at 5 Castle Street Houndsditch Saint Botolph Aldersgate aged 45 born in Middlesex County.

1851 UK Census Hyam Hyams listed as a shopkeeper living at the same location. His birthplace is Hull Yorkshire which might be more accurate than the previous census.

HYAMS, Hyam

Hyam Hyams was active from 1813 to 1851, initially as a dealer in bullion and mainly as a working silversmith and jeweller. In his closing years he traded as a goldsmith, watch and clock maker, money changer, and “bohemian glass importer”. His addresses were:

1813-18 3 Little St. Mary Axe;
1818-20 7 Castle Street, Houndsditch;
1821-41 5 Castle Street, Houndsditch;
1842-45 22 Cornhill;
1845-51 59 Cornhill.

There was also a subsidiary address, 3 Prujean Square, Old Bailey, in 1826. (The street-name Little St. Mary Axe appears to have gone by 1830; it was perhaps the end-portion of St. Mary Axe between Houndsditch and Camomile Street).
