Jewish records in Tata before 1868?
The Jewish records in Tata only start in 1868 yet there are older records from 1844-1851 in Hebrew, so the Jewish community must have existed:

Do records slightly before 1868 exist? I am thinking about the 1860s-1850s that was standard for Jewish communities. Are they grouped with a different parish?

The 1848 Hungarian Jewish Census (The Census) was known by its Latin name, Conscriptio Judaerum. 1848. It is a survey of Jews in Hungary compiled after the failed Hungarian 1848 Revolution against Austria in the spring of that year. Though most of it was completed in 1848, in some counties (megye) it spilled over into 1849. Most of the counties followed the same pattern and were supposed to collect the same data. However, as no forms were supplied the data was collected in some cases on printed forms, but in most cases on plain paper with each recorder following his own locally created hand drawn form or pattern.
The “Census” covered all the counties of Greater Hungary as we refer to the territories under the Hungarian Crown prior to 1918, which included, among others, parts of Slovakia, Croatia, Ukraine and Romania.
