Miss Barbara Hutchinson, whose engagement to Victor Rothschild, nephew and heir of Lord Rothschild, was announced in the London Daily Mail last week, has become an orthodox Jewess by conversion.
The daughter of St. John Hutchinson, recorder of Hastings, Miss Barbara spent considerable time in study of the history and customs of the Jewish religion and then took an examination written by dignitaries of Beth Din, the Court of Rabbis, with headquarters at Mulberry Street off Commercial Road.
Mr. Rothschild is at present research assistant at the Cambridge University scientific department.
