Joseph Barrow Montefiore (24 June 1803 – 8 September 1893), merchant and financier, was the youngest son of Eliezer Montefiore, merchant, of Barbados and London, and his wife, Judith (née Barrow).[1]
Montefiore was born on 24 June 1803 in London and was educated there.[2] He married Rebecca Mocatta, and the couple had children.[1]
He shared real estate interests in the Colony of New South Wales with his brother Jacob Barrow Montefiore.[2] The two brothers were also partners in J. Barrow Montefiore & Co., and helped to found the Bank of Australasia, later the ANZ Bank; Jacob was a founding director, while Joseph was the Sydney representative. Both brothers suffered London bankruptcy proceedings in 1844,[3] but by the time of Jacob's second visit to Adelaide in 1854, Joseph was once again a successful businessman, as proprietor of J. B. Montefiore & Co.[2] It was during the 1840s–1850s that he was resident in Adelaide, in St John's Street.[4]
Jacob Levi Montefiore (1819–1885), New South Wales politician, was a nephew of the brothers.[1] Jacob Levi (who arrived in Sydney in 1837) later became a director of the Bank of Australasia, in 1855.[6]
Eliezer Levi Montefiore, brother of Jacob Levi, who married his Joseph's daughter[7] (i.e. Eliezer's cousin) Esther Hannah Barrow Montefiore in Adelaide, was another nephew.[8]
