The Lighter Side / even more children
« on: Sunday 01 March 15 01:05 GMT (UK)  »
 On his hospital records my great  grandfather was listed as 1 of 12 children (9  of whom were still living in 1920)
 His mother died in Russia a month after giving birth to an unbaptised child
 I thought I'd identified 10 other names
But a 1920 US census showed  his father's 2nd wife down as having 6 children 3 surviving
I already had 3 dead Russian babies with 1st wife ...so maths no longer added up .
He must have had 18 children altogether  So I now have 3 more full siblings and 2 dead half-siblings to find (probably born in manchester between 1892-1897 or liverpool 1898-1903...maybe in New york after 1905).
Might have to dig up some previously discarded data

US Completed Requests / Fellman girls
« on: Sunday 28 December 14 10:40 GMT (UK)  »
 My ggfather I have finally discovered that my Ggfather 's father, stepmother and 7 siblings emigrated to USA in around 1905 I wonder what became of them .did they stay in Brooklyn ..can anyone access their marriages + deaths please ;
The  FELLMAN/FELDMAN family left Jakobstadt in  Latvia then  Russiain in 1891
spent several years in Prestwich Manchester UK ,
 1n 1901 most of the family were in Birkenhead;Cheshire GB .
Head of family was Leizer-mendel/Lazurus /Samuel
his 2nd wife was called sheina/senna/Jane
girls names were mera/mary born or baptised 31/12/1880
bassa/bessie  1882
  sora/sarah/celia may1885
khaya/Tilly /matilda march 1891 in jakobstadt
golda/gertie /gertrude /gertz born in prestwich 1893
Esther /lestraube  b prestwich 1897    * Estelle ?

they were with brother David (Born nov 1886jRussia) a 14yrold watchmaker in 1901 in birkenhead,Liverpool

It looks like Bessie came to Usa in nov 1904 to stay with her brother "Barnet " Feldman of 487myrtle av Brooklyn
In march 1905 Samuel Feldman with wife +Sarah ,Tilly, Gerty, + Esther also to stay with Barnet 

I looked up Barnet 's crossing and found him  March 30th 1904 to stay with sister M ....surname illegible who'd paid his passage
His age looks like 32 on written page but is transcribed as 22 ,
My ggrandfather  George Jacob Fellman born Russia 'died in Wales 1924 aged 52  Welsh hospital documents as being the 2nd of 12 siblings only 2 being dead (i found their deaths as infants)
Rebecca b 1870 married Elias Bloch in prestwhich 1897 and they lived rest of their lives in Scotland
I have no other records with a Barnet could it be David's other name .?
 In 1910 I'm told  Samuel aged 55+ Jeannie  42  are with Bessie,Celia Gertrude Matilda +Esther in Brooklyn ward the ages seem to be wrong for the older girls Bessie should be 31, and Celia(sarah)25. I don't have access to US records so will be grateful for any help

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Angliscised names - FELLMAN, LANDMAN
« on: Saturday 27 December 14 01:39 GMT (UK)  »
Having found the names of my great grandfather's siblings on Latvian data base
I'm wondering how likely it is Fellman's living at an address in Birkenhead on 1901 census could actually be his  family as several of the  childrens names start the same + are at roughly same  birth years .

The father's russian/jewish names are Leizer-Mendel  His 2nd wife is Sheina
his children  born jacobstadt Russia   are Rebecca1870, george-jacob1870 ,mera b1880,bassa b1882 , sora b1885 david 1886 tauba b1890 , khaya b1891

 in Birkenhead 1901 census Fellman family
the father is listed as Samuel ..wife jane

children May  aged 20,Bessie aged18 , sarah aged16  ,David aged14 Tilly aged 10 ,gertrude born lancashire aged7 + esther b.lancs aged 5

  i dismissed this family earlier in my research

Does Anyone else think these names correspond too well to be coincidental?

 eldest daughter rebecca was married + there is a death record in Manchester for a Taube Fellman but age is 0 and she should be aged 2
Eldest son my ggafther George jacob was living  on a nearby  street .

Other Countries / 2 boats liverpool to philedelphia 1905. same children
« on: Tuesday 14 October 14 14:27 BST (UK)  »
I was looking at passenger lists for possible relatives leaving GB
i came across these 2 children with such unusual names and wondered why they would be listed twice going from Liverpool to Philedelphia

The first has Devore Fellman aged 6 born 1899
and Jochebad Fellman aged 3
and geolalia aged 2 
All on the  "Westmorland"  passengers are listed individually + I haven't got credit to see the image couldn't find the adults who correspond  but on next page is Jochelbed Fellman age 3 b1902
and Dwowe Fellman aged 6 b1899     on the "Noordland" also Liverpool - Philedelphia
must be same brother + sister despite different spellings
surely not 2 trips in one year ??
Any explanation ?

Cheshire / nana's birth mother disappeared in 1901
« on: Tuesday 14 October 14 12:32 BST (UK)  »
My grandmother's birth mother was Charlotte (Lottie) Roberts born april 1881 Greenfield st Birkenhead
She wrote my grandmother a letter asking not to be contacted again because she was respectably married and had a son but we no longer have this letter and don't know her married name.

My mother spent years researching the wrong Charlotte Roberts ours is daughter of John Roberts 1852-1908+ Caroline nee Gardner 1859-1893
 she had 1 sister Mary b1879 who married isaac irvine in 1908 .

Lottie had her baby at 1 menai st on 12th dec 1899 giving her father's address 29 Edgar st Birkenhead .
On birth certificate nana is Maisie, Fellman (middle name),  Roberts  and Charlotte is recorded as draper's assistance
she obtained an affiliation order against George Jacob Fellman in jan 1900
   The baptism later in march has Lottie  Roberts as mother to Massie Miriam Roberts
We can't find the mysterious Charlotte Roberts on 1901 or 1911 census .  marriage /death records all seem to be different Charlottes

Walter was 1 of 10 children .Their father Malcom had died in1910 when Walter was aged 14 .
Walter is listed as a private on Thieval memorial ; I have a photo of the memorial .
his elder brother Malcom Macdermid b1893  was also in the army from 1914-1920 but I don't know if they were in the same regiment .He was a boot repairer by profession .

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Finding Great grandfather's Russian Latvian relatives
« on: Monday 13 October 14 19:10 BST (UK)  »
George Jacob Fellman. b.1870 left Russia in 1891 + went from Manchester to Liverpool where he fathered my nana .He was in Scotland in 1906 + spent the rest of his life travelling around Wales til his death in 1924 .
It's been a real detective hunt ;starting with nana's middle name which led to an affiliation order for maintenance payments .
His hospital  admission records led us to discover that he was the 2nd of 12 siblings 2 of whom were dead .(I have database from russian latvia with their names ).
His sister Rebecca Bloch living in Scotland was listed as next of kin  but I'd really like to find what happened to the other 8 siblings .....did they go to America ?
Rebecca's parents names were on her death certificate as lazurus Fellman +EdithLandsman         
 (Leizer-mendel Fellman + Gesa-Eida (on latvian database)
younger children may have had a different mother as she died in 1888 .
 Does anyone have any connections to this family ?
