I am looking for info on this family.

Jacob FLANDERS ( Son of Nathan + Jennie Flanders -Germany ) b. abt 1835 Prussia d.9 May 1899 Manhattan N.Y married ( date unknown) Paulina/eJacobsen/Jacobson b.Germany abt 1836 d. 6 May 1922 Queens N.Y. Immigrated from Germany to England date unknown. Immigrated from England to New York City 9 Feb 1874 Passenger List for the ship Holland.

Family surname on passenger list is FLATUA. Below are the different surnames I have found them under.

HASER 1871 England Census (1871 RG10-412 folio 36 pages 23-Schedule110 Aldgate London 7 Hutchison Street ( record is in almost unreadable condition) FLALUA 1874 Passenger List.
FLAMDA 1880 Ny, NY Census FLANDERS 1900 Census

Children ( I do have info on all children after coming to NY) Simon b.March 1866 Aldgate, London, England Sarah b .abt 1868 Aldgate, London, England Fanny b. abt 1869 Aldgate, London, England . Henrietta b 24 Sept 1878 N.Y City d. 27 Oct 1948 Queens, NY m. Max Stretz b. Aug 1868 New Jersey d. 22 Aug 1934 Queens, NY ( my line)

I do not know if Jacob and Pauline were married in London or Germany. There were other children born that did not survive. Some probably in England.

I am wondering if there are any passenger or immigration records available from when they left Germany and went to London or from when they left London and went to N.Y.

I would also love to connect with someone else researching this family.

The family was Jewish and Jacob was a tailor.

Any help would be appreciated!

My London interests are mainly -

The Devonshire family descended from Israel Devonshire & his wife Joyce (Williams) who lived in Mile End Old Town in the early 18th century. Many of their descendants were silversmiths, goldsmiths, spoonmakers and allied trades, members of the Goldsmith's Company, and there are still known examples of their work coming up for sale at auction (mainly Devonshire & Watkins of Paternoster Row c.1750s - 60s). These were ancestors of my late first wife.
Particularly interested in the baptism of Israel son of Thomas Devonshire c.1747 (known to be a son of Thomas via the Goldsmith's Company records), and the marriage of this Israel to a Rebecca c.1767. Haven't been able to find either over the last 20 years !


William Seymour (almost certainly born in Somerset c.1800), stonemason, married Elizabeth Cleavely (from Wellingborough, Northants) at St Giles Cripplegate in 1824. They had, to my knowledge, two daughters Eliza(beth) Jane and Martha, born 1830 and 1834 respectively and baptised at St Leonards, Shoreditch. William died in early 1838 and his widow then married Hezekiah Cary, also a stonemason from Somerset, and probably her late husband's cousin, and they went to live in Dartford. William & Elizabeth Seymour's daughter Eliza(beth) married Henry Roch, a schoolmaster from Pembroke at St Matthews, Bethnal Green in 1859, They are my great grandparents. Hezekiah & Elizabeth Car(e)y had several children at Dartford, my ggrandmother's half brothers and sisters. I am interested in any descendants of the Car(e)ys, in particular of Nelson Davies and Emma (Carey) of Dartford, as I believe that my grandmother was a companion to her aunt Emma for a time, probably in the 1880s. I am also interested to know whether William Seymour & Elizabeth (Cleavely) had children before their daughter Elizabeth in 1830 as six years between their marriage in 1824 and first child seems a long time.

Most of my family - on both sides - ended up in London at some point (I was born there) but I can only find one family that seems to have origins there.
I'm researching Wiles, Green and & Hunt (all Hammersmith/Fulham area), Howes & Hunt (Islington), Thompson (Stepney & Bethnal Green) & Farrell (Lambeth, Bermondsey, Southwark, Camberwell & Forest Gate. So many really common names are a struggle.

I come from the Essex border of London myself - born in Chingford, so it is not surprising that many of the families from which I am descended were in London, at least in the 19th century; ALABASTER (originally Suffolk and Norfolk), ORAM ( Shaftesbury, Dorset pre-19th century) PARRISH (Kent) as well as my husband's ancestors; HAKE (Minehead, Somerset pre-19th cent) and GOODMAN (Wiltshire)
My One Name Study is Alabaster - they populated Shoreditch and Bethnal Green in 19th and early 20th century. I am always delighted to share information on any of these!

My one name studies at the Guild of One Name Studies are Pincombe and Siderfin. The Pincombe families in London are descended from two likely related but distant families which originated in Devon. Our Pincombe DNA study is growing very slowly at FT DNA and if this interests you that would help us to learn more about our mutual ancestors. One line of the Siderfin family of Somerset was located in the London area including into Kent. Please contact me at kippeeb@rogers.com for more information. I am gradually creating webpages for these families but already have a large database for each one.
