DAVID BENDIX was born in 1856 and educated at the Kaiserlich-Konigliche Realschule, Berlin. In 1872 he entered Mr. Arthur Vacher's laboratory, in London, as a pupil-assistant; in 1874 he obtained an appointment with Messrs. Burt, Boulton & Haywood, and shortly after became managing chemist in their anthraquinone works at Victoria Docks; and finally he became Head Chemist and Works Manager to British Alizarine Co., which position he held for thirty-two years. He acted for many years as an abstractor for the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry in 1888.

He was formerly a rabbi and made a public confession of Christianity in St Matthew's Church, Berlin, on 2nd August 1860, when he and his entire family were baptised. They came to England in about 1863. He was a Doctor Of Philosophy & Professor Of Languages, and, in 1883, became missionary in Prebendary Gordon Calthrop's parish in Highbury. He continued in his work amongst the well-to-do Jews until his death in 1901, and was also lecturer in rabbinic Hebrew at the Society's College.
Alice Bendix was born Alice Farman (or Farmen) in 1860 in Plomesgate, Suffolk. They were married in 1880 in Lambeth, where Davids family lived. They lived in Caernarvon Road and Romford Road from at least 1886. She died in 1951.
