Prior to the nonconformist movement later in that century I have only come across the name Rebecca used in Jewish families . Could she have been Jewish living in or near Whitby early 18th century? Or am I just mistaken? Shalom David Taylor My ancestor Martin Taylor married a Rebeccah (spelling not relevant) White in 1749 in Fylingdales church near Whitby.

This is of personal interest to me as I am trying to trace a lady whose first name was Mathilde (or Mathilda) who I believe was Jewish and lived in Whitby around 1840s.
