Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help.
- My great grandfather was called Philip GOLDSTEIN
- I think he was from Danzig in Poland and immigrated in around 1899 (learned from 1901 census).
- He lived in 15 Dewhurst Road in Hammersmith and was a grocer
- He is listed here as being a seatholder of the Hammersmith and West Kensington Synagogue
- At his death he gave quite a bit of money (around £3,000 by memory) to his children so I'm guessing he was quite well-off. (Learned from London Gazette)
However I can't find out any more about him. Ancestry throws up nothing, nor does google searching other than what's above.
Are there likely to be further synagogue records about him?
Or any way of finding out where he was a grocer - probably in Hammersmith near where he lived I'd guess?
Or any ideas on how to find him in Poland? I'm pretty proficient with JRI but haven't found anything - probably because we think he's likely to have changed his name on immigration.
All the best,
Antonio
