Hi Folks,
In a Liverpool 1911 I have a Leah Goldstein born 1874 in Russia widow. Married 20 years. Children Gertrude(Gertie) born 1895 St. Georges in the East, London and Lazarus born 1899 Whitechapel, London. Leahs maiden name from a Manchester Alien Record states her maiden name Labisky. Could be or not depends on how someone hears the name.
From the MC of Gertrude her father was David Goldstein deceased. Found he died in 1910 in Liverpool.
Never found the BC of the children, apart from 4 relating to Lazarus. Being before 1911 no mother is mentioned. Have'nt ordered BC's to find out.
Found out now that the GRO now gives the mothers' maiden name for all births.
Checking the GRO the nearest I have found is a Rachel Goldstein 1895 Whitechapel, mother Lebovitch and a Lazarus Goldstein 1899 Whitechapel, mother Lebovitz.
Gertrude could have named Rachel and later on called Gertrude as this sometimes did happen. My mother was born Annie and called Pearl and later Pearl Annie.
Now trying to find in a 1901 Census both Rachel and Lazarus together to see who their parents are.
Only found a Wolf & Sophis Goldstein with a Rachel 1895 Whitechapel and Lazarus 1896 Whitechapel. A Jacob & Annie Goldstein with a Lazarus 1899 Whitechapel. A Joseph & RAchel with a Lazarus 1899 Whitechapel. A Jacob & Rachel with a Lazarus 1899 Whitechapel.
So my dear friends any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Steve
