Hi Sharon
I've just been reading your posts/chat with Amy and I'm left trying to work out exactly how we are related too. My grandmother Phyllis's father was Richard Sidney Rosenberg. He was the eldest of the four children born to Richard Thomas Rosenberg and Annie Blanche Miller and the only one who DIDN'T change his name to Sullivan.
Best wishes
Barry
The parents had been in the Bethnal Green workhouse but were removed to St George in the East and at the time of their interview at St Geo East workhouse, it sounded like the child George had only just been taken out of Carshalton.To point you in the right direction for further research, it would be helpful to know exactly what the poor law records say.
With the information you've now provided, I found the removal order for Cornelius BRIEN 28, Ellen 24, Emma 2 and George 4 mo from Bethnal Green workhouse to St George in the East, order dated 3 June 1910. For anyone else looking, this in BEBG/273/002, in the indexed section of poor law records on Ancestry (London, England, Selected Poor Law Removal and Settlement Records, 1828-1930).
But I'm struggling to find the settlement examination at the workhouse. If you found it online, please provide enough information (names, date, union, and vol/image refs if unindexed) for those who have access to find it online. If it is not online, please transcribe its contents here. If you'd prefer not to, you're welcome to send me a PM.
In any event, the family were apparently chargeable to St George in the East. So in order to pursue this further you will need to have someone search the records of the Stepney Union (STBG) at LMA.
One option is to email LMA with all the information that you have, tell them what you are trying to find out, and ask them to provide exact references for the other resources they hold that might help you. That sort of general enquiry is answered free of charge. You will then be in a better position to ask for lookups from RootsChatters.
As it said the estate was worth under £400 so it could have been £2 or £50 or £150.
There is nothing to suggest it was close to £400
On the other hand the equity (if any) could have been in the form of shares which could have failed, or he could have loaned money to someone else who defaulted.
Have you looked to see if there is an inventory of goods for his estate, that would give you a better understanding of the value of his estate.
Never use one of those value of sites that claim to relate the value over centuries they are all totally inaccurate as values of numerous items fluctuate as they go in and out of fashion.
Cheers
