Hi everyone, and in particular Louisa Maud, of course I remember you and all of your help. I am in touch with Ron and Eileen and their nephew Barry as well, it's wonderful. This was posted a very long time ago and I have learned a lot about the Rosenbergs since then. My main curiosity now is with the O'Briens. I know that people named O'Brien often dropped the O' so their names were less Irish, but as far as I can tell, my O'Briens BECAME O'Briens, FROM being Bryants and Brians, which is puzzling.

Thank you for all the replies, I had long forgotten about this post, it must have bumped up on the forum because it's had several replies in the last couple of days. I think I will change the status to case closed and write a new post just about the O'Briens.

(Fun fact for those of you following - The Rosenberg man who did NOT actually marry Annie Blanche Miller but had four children out of wedlock with her, actually abandoned his family and moved away, never to be heard from again. We've recently discovered he changed his name to Roseberry whilst there, remarried and had a son, who subsequently was a Roseberry).

Hi Carol  My is name sally Jacobs I live with a Stanley William Sullivan who is related to you he is your cousin . Bernard Alfred Sullivan being his Uncle kind regards Sally +Stanley

I have found the service record of Richard Thomas Rosenberg b 1875 in Bournemouth.He has crossed through the marriage section but does list 4 children.

Richard John Sydney b 3/3/1900 hammersmith
Doris Alexandra b 12/10/1903 Fulham
Stanley Arthur b 2/8/1906 Putney
Bernard b 17/7/1909 Alton Hants

I have ancestors with a German/Jewish surname who changed it in 1915 as it was not the best name to have in London during WW1 !
