Is that a mix of two different families? Is Philip Worms the same as Philip Bock?
Fijs 'itsek B'ok died 25 si 5535 - 23 Jun 1775 (Muiderberg cemetery; Philip Bock 25 Jun 1775 in the impostregister), his widow Sjeinche 31 Dec 1789.

Is Clara Hartog (Hertz) the same as Geulia Bock of the company "the widow Isaac Bock and sons" (son Philip Bock in Amsterdam, the others in Nijmegen)? Also two daughters Sara?

1757: Schepenprotocollen, borgstelling and pachtovereenkomst 1757 and 1774 for houses in the Priemstraat and Grotestraat. Names mentioned:.the widow Isaeq Bock, the married couples 1 Alexander Bock & Jacoba Cohen, 2 Levy Isacq de Wolff & Sara Bock , 3 Arnolda van Heuven & Rijk van Rees, 4 Elias Bock & Judith Salomon Fles. In 1784 Sara Bok, her husband (med doctor) and a niece lived in de Grootestraat, Elias in the Priemstraat with son, daughter and sister).
Jewish grave registers show the burials of Sara Bok in 1800, her husband Leib Rofe (de Wolff) in 1794, Eli Bok in 1795 and Eva Isaac Bok (Hewe Jitschak Itsek) 8 Aug 1806, unmarried, age 83 yrs.
In Notarial Act Vermasen, 1770/61, a financial transaction in Nijmegen the witnesses are Elias Bok and L Bock. I haven't come across anything else about a L Bock. to:
Geulia Ephraim, died 1779 Nijmegen, Executors of the will are her son Elias Bok and her son-in-law Levij Isaac de Wolff

1) Alexander Isaac Bock, died before 1767 Nijmegen
D.E. Cohen in "De geschiedenis van de familie Cohen" named him as Alexander Isaac Levi Bock
Married after 1742, D.E. Cohen names Alexander as Alexander Isaac Levi Bock, possibly from a marriage contract (when? where?), he mentions Caatjes dowry of 5000 gld. to:
Caatje Philip Cohen, birth 1714 Amsterdam, died 3 Mar 1769 Amsterdam, Muiderberg cemetery: on 24 Adar I 5529 - the widow Jachet b late Feibelman Amesfoort 1st marriage 2nd marriage 3rd marriage, daughter of Philip Ezechiel Cohen and Meerle Asser Snapperts

2) Moses Isaac Bock, died probably Nijmegen, Died between May 1776 and 1782;
a notarial act 27 Mar 1775 mentions the Widow Isack Bock and Sons, and "also on his own accord Moses Bock, living in Nijmegen". 29 May 1776, after the death of Judith Fles, Moses Bock is present assisting her adult unmarried daughters Berendina , Mietje and Sara Elias Bock. In 1782 Rebecca Cohen is named in notarial acts as his widow.
The circumcision register of Jacob Weijl 1756-1791 (photocopy with translation in the JHM Amsterdam) lists three sons of "my brother-in-law Mosje Bek". Possibly Moses Bock had been married first to a sister of this Jacob Weijl, who wrote him dow n as brother in law also after he married Rebecca Cohen.

Though he performed circumcisions until 1791 there was no Jacob Weijl in the 1784 list of Jewish inhabitants of Nijmegen by the parnassim.
There was Michael Jacob Weijl, MD, who had in 1775 married Petronella de Wolff, daughter of Levij Isaac de Wolff MD and Moses Bock's sister Sara Bock. Michaels son Isaac , also a MD was a mohel in Amersfoort later. Michaels parents died in Mannhei m, Jacob Weijl 2 Nov 1758, his wife Grietje 6 May 1746 (source: supplements on the marriage of Gulia Weijl, Michaels daughter, in 1814).

Moses lived in Nijmegen (div notarial acts between 1763 and 1775), but also in Arnhem:
15 Jan 1767 Ludovicus Gertsen contra Wed Isack Bock & Sons and Moses Bock, Bankholder in Arnhem (Not. Daelveld Acte:218)
The Bank van Lening (municipal pawnshop) in Arnhem was, during the 18th Century, for a long time in the hands of Jews, for example Jacob Ezechiel Cohen, JJ Hanau, Abraham and Marcus Arons, and the Widow De Bock and sons.
