Bloomberg/Blumberg family

Eureka ... maybe.

Charles would be a likely anglicisation of the name Ezekiel.

On 6th June 1894, a 21-year-old boot maker by the name of Charles Bloomberg left Liverpool on the Indiana bound for Philadelphia.

The 1900 US census recorded the 30-year-old shoe salesman Charles Bloomberg boarding in Manhattan. He was an English national of German parents.

The ages don't quite match for Ezekiel born on 19.01.1874, but the boot/shoe connection could be more than pure coincidence.

Hi Justin,   I think you may have hit the jackpot.   After all, it does depend on what time of the year he boarded the boat because I have him born in 1874, but that was worked out from the 1881 census where he was listed as being 7 years old.   His elder brother, Samuel, was a boot riveter so it does seem to link up.   Are you able to trace him after that?  I shall ask aaround too.   Many thanks for the info.    Maureen (aka Mohair)

I am fairly certain that the eldest son, Solomon aka Samuel, married Elizabeth/Lizzie Goodfriend in Manhattan on 28 Aug 1887.

The parents of the groom were Lazarus B. and Rachel (born Posner).

The couple had the following children:

Blanche H. Bloomberg, b. 26 Jun 1888 Manhattan
Mariam Bloomberg, d. 5 Mar 1890 Manhattan (aged 0)
Moses Abraham Bloomberg, b. 20 Jul 1891 Manhattan
Jerome Bloomberg, b. 1892, d. 11 Jan 1892 Manhattan
Elieser Salomon / Salomon E. Bloomberg, b. 6 Jun 1893 Manhattan
Herbert S. Bloomberg, b. 21 Jan 1899 Manhattan

Familiar names?

This Samuel was born in England to parents that were sometimes English, sometimes something else, arrived in the US in 1886/7 and was in the shoe business.

He died on 7 Jul 1939. The death record reports his date of birth as 13 Apr 1863.

Well,yes you have struck gold again.   Can you trace any of his grandchildren?  By the way, Samuel was a boot rivetter in London, so that makes another confirmation.   Once again, thank you Mohair.

Hi Maureen,

Much of the info I'm finding is readily available on familysearch.org

Blanche married Max Schwarz on 21.06.1911 in Brooklyn, New York. They appear to have had just the one daughter, Jean, born in New York city on 05.01.1918.

Salomon Elieser aka Solomon/Saul/Sol Eli married Sarah Leifert (b. 1890 Moscow, d/o Hermann Leifert and Bertha born Kirschbaum) on 18.11.1917. The couple was recorded in the 1930 and 1940 censuses with two children: Leonard, b. 1920, and Betty, b. 1927.

The youngest brother, Herbert Spencer Bloomberg, died in Mar 1974 in Maricopa, AZ. He was married according to a passenger manifest of 1947, but I cannot find a wife or children.

Thank you once more.  I shall try the family search.org - I assume it is a site.   Best Wishes Mohair
