Oliver Cromwell allowed Jews to return to England in 1656 after centuries of expulsion. This decision was part of his broader policy of religious tolerance and was influenced by economic considerations, as he sought to boost trade and commerce. The resettlement marked the beginning of a small but significant Jewish community in England, which had been largely absent since their expulsion in 1290.

What proof is there that Jews lived in Britain?

You don't give a timespan, but there are synagogues dating back to the 1700s, and of course there is also the decree of 1657 issued by Oliver Cromwell readmitting Jews to England. The question is rather puzzling if it applies to the period since 1657 as nobody doubts that have been some Jews in England and Scotland since then.

This is a vast topic, so it is probably best to look at the link. Please bear in mind that between the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 till the readmission of Jews by Oliver Cromwell in 1656-57 there were no (or practically no) Jews in England. The Puritans were, on the whole, less anti-Jewish than other groups. Note that the 1290 expulsion did not apply in Scotland.

Why did englands citizens restore the monarchy after the rule of Oliver Cromwell?

Oliver Cromwell took control of England's government and placed himself as Lord Protector of England after the monarchy was abolished. However, citizens were frustrated by continuing instability in England. Many citizens also disliked Cromwell's Puritan ideas. Even though Cromwell had the support of the military, his son could not gain the people's favor after Cromwell died. England restored the monarchy and offered the throne to Charles II.
